My 53 Wasp was in the best original condition of any bike I've ever ran across. I bought it 28 years ago. It has lots of scratches and dents now. I used to ride the heck out of it! Wonderful bike.

I am the third owner of this ‘36 Excelsior. I’ve only had it about 6 years. I added the incorrect tank but I like the looks of it on there. The last photo is how I got it.

I picked this '52 D-12 from a Whizzer collector. The son was selling his dad's collection of Whizzers and parts on the quick as the house had been sold, he wanted to sell the whole lot for $$$$$. This was my first visit and he let this bike go for a song, I was going to offer him double what he offered me. He said he rode this bike everyday but on closer inspection, it was never ridden, still has the nubs on the tires, pedals show no wear, kickstand has not been used, etc. He threw in a pair of NOS Goodrich Silvertown tires as well. I went back a few days later and was able to pick through everything and take what I wanted, it was a very good pick! The original shop the bike was purchased in is only 24 miles away, but it has long since closed. It rained the day I brought it home so some of the original patina was removed.

I sold this 1941 Cadet a few years later to my friend @DonChristie
He sold it too.

I obtained this 40 from (rust trader) here on the cabe a few years back. It is a nice original unrestored example. Believe it may be one of the nicest ones around in that catagory.

I’ve been loving the heck out of this 1961 Schwinn Jaguar Mark IV. I bought it from the original owner. The only things that I have done to it, other than polishing, are new tires and brake pads. I have, of course, saved the originals.

Like, these rubber nut covers? They seem factory-ish, but I cannot say I have ever seen them.
