After lacing a sturmey 3 speed coaster brake hub to the rear DL 1 28" wheel, I removed the wood wheels and made this antique very rideable. I had to rip the old gal apart to straighten the frame and when I reassembled, I adjusted the handle bars to where they looked good and not where they were...

I need to sell about 25 of my 85 bikes. Bikes are posted with pricing based on how much I like them. Delivery or meet up preferred (100 miles around New London) after payment is made. Shipping is an option when I can find bike boxes.
I will be posting...
Since I wanted to ride this 1917 Ranger and did not want to risk the wood rims, I have replaced the old wheels with Raleigh DL-1 rod brake 28 x 1.5 inch wheels. I then laced a 40 hole 3 sp coaster hub on the rear wheel. I had found a pre WW1 S/A handle bar shifter (that I can get second and...
Will clean up pretty well
SOLD so far: Front wheel, rear rim, seat, Tyres, pedals
Fenders and CG are rattle can olive drab and may clean up as black paint is intact
Text me for specific pricing and better pics

Things I have said too many times: "I can save that chrome", "That tank (or head light or seat or rack or...) should be pretty easy to find.", "It's not that bent" and "Looks like the paint will come back."
I found this 57 Columbia American in late January of this year. I have a heated garage...
I am not really into the bikes of this era, but since this turned up in my City...
I was aware that the frame and fork are tweeked. I thought that the fork must be very strong to do this to the frame.
Perhaps the bent frame is why this thing was put away in the condition it is in.
Rack...
I have only ever seen 3 of these in the 35 years I have been collecting banana bikes. This came out a year before the Barris Iverson Dragstripper, Rogue, Yellow Bird, Bandito and a few others that are considered the height of crazy muscle bike design. This Gemini started it all for Stelber. I...
The angle rack fits nicely in this space even though the Wife hollered that I have obscured the painting. Good rack for lightweights and banana bikes. Not able to hold the Balloon bikes securely.
I broke every single bolt that I had to loosen to adjust this right. I found 3 of these in a wet...
I was able to get this old gal on the road again by adding wheels, fenders, crank, head light and rack from a black ladies model. Even though not correct, it is nice to have this tank riding the streets after being damaged many years ago. The frame was bent, the rack and rear wheel trashed and...
Stainless S6 rear wheel, high flange rear hub and the rest is original and not even cleaned. Paint is beat but will come back a little. Missing reflector. In 06385 and asking $220.
I am excited to show the 1950 Panther that was 1/2 of a 2 bike deal from a few months ago. I had posted some of these pics in the thread about "Cobbled Bikes" and asked opinions on what to keep. This was the choice of everyone. The other was a badly painted red 51 whose bits I have been trying...
I could not really sleep last night. I had seen my favorite bike on a Craig's List ad and made contact with the owner. I have an appointment this morning. Knowing that the second buyer in line is not a good position, I was fretting about not creating a relationship with the seller and not...
I located a twin shifter designed to attach to the gooseneck and it replaced the top tube shifter I had been using. The top tube shifter mounted directly in the way of my dismount. I used to shift both sticks with my privates as I began to get off the bike, unless I was stopping in an...
Since this old gal sat around the garage for a few months, I finally got interested and found the reflector and spent some time stabilizing the seat so it could be ridden. I was looking at pics on the web and noticed how much alike this bike is when compared to some of the Columbia bikes made up...
It seems to me, that these Apollo bikes were always shunned. I always thought of these as the bike you had if your Mom ran away with the Fuller Brush Salesman and your Daddy drank the dole. The pedals were kind to shoe-less chirlins for a reason.
I have had many in the last 2 decades (even an...
So. If the frame number indicates 1951 and I think it is. I suspect this is a first year Streamliner with the wrong fenders and guard. I will loose the wheels for more correct rubber, hubs and rims. I have a Phantom fender and light that should be painted and a rear fender in black and cream all...
Everytime I walked past this bike on my for sale rack, I noted that is was just a pair of rims and some touch up away from being a keeper.
It helped that I could not get what I wanted for it and had to walk past it twice a day for the last year. Now she is a part of the collection and awaiting...
I am not a repaint guy. I tend to broom the repaints, the ladies bikes and the light weights no matter how cool they are. I have some research to do on what is correct and exactly what I have here. I am bummed that the frame on the Prewar is repainted to match the wrong tank... tank is late 50s...
I used an NOS pressed steel WALD bracket and spring and replaced the flat steel stand with a 1/2 aluminum round stock. It is angle cut, pressed and drilled to fit the pin and spring tension-er in the bracket.
Yeah, its not correct for anything but it is not too shabby looking down or up. It...
The rack and bracket are very nice pieces. The plastic headlights have lost the chroming as usual. The guts of the lights are not there. Looks like someone whittled sun glass lens to fit and have a cool radius.
Yes, somewhere in Macon County GA, a State Trooper cant find his aviators...
Made me sad to think how great this place used to be. Some of the beautiful products that came out of this building were art. Anyone have pics of the wonderful stems or pedals or...?

All from the same bike with about the same great purple/ blue color. No horn. I think this was a 1960 bike. It fits any ladies 26" middleweight. Looks great on a white bike. You do not need a frame tab to use tank.
I have it on learned authority that most of this lot is of negligible value. Perhaps someone might be helped out by something in the batch

As usual I am just providing semi educated guesses on what I have here. If I am giving anything away, shame on me and if I am asking too much, make a kind offer. Most of these are seats I wanted to keep, but I NEED to pay off the last basement haul before I can justify keeping things for me...

VERY nice paint and screening on this rack and guard. Very nice turquoise blue. These are off a 26" ladies bike if that makes a diff.
I would like to drill the rack rivets to ship, but will not if the buyer is not good with that. Might cost more to ship.
Neat old horn with lots of shelf wear, but not much on bike use. This was NOS until a few years ago when it was mounted on a basement bike. I do not know if she works.
1 price includes: Chain ring, UK spec saddle, RARE re-chromed chainguard (See pics of the models it is correct for), 2 new tubes, 2 off brand high pressure tires, two rack struts.
The book in NOT included.
Please let me know if my research is wrong. The rim and wheel looks to have been sprayed. The pin striping looks pretty good. She spins near true. 26". No nuts.
Please feel free to correct me or add any pertinent info that might help me get these to the right person. It would be great to see these reunited with the right bike.
December 1952 Sturmey-Archer Dyno-hub laced to a rod brake "sports" rim. This will clean up more. Very good working original "GH6" generator. The terminal nuts are not there and the axle nuts are not original. 6V
