What Schwinn’s to Look For
Hello fellow Cabers. I’ve never posted in this section as I am mostly into prewar bikes but could definitely use some of your help and knowledge. I will be going to look at a small collection of stingrays and a few other Schwinn models of the 60’s and 70’s era. Hoping to do this sometime in the...- Brian

Got a call from same family member saying that there is another building on property that also has a few bikes in it. I will be back there in about a week or so. If he kept these bikes then my chances to find something good is hopeful. Wish me luck.- Brian

Good Finds Today “Finally”
Well it’s been quite the drought for me for what feels like a long time without any new finds. I was able to come across a connection that led me to a family member of an old collector that had passed away. He was a collector of many things and not just old bikes. What bikes he had left in an...- Brian

My Dads bicycle. I need some help please.
Lots of sentimental value to this bike I would say. You could always clean it up the best possible and if not happy then that makes it even easier to restore. Go with your gut- Brian

You did a great job on both you builds there. The do look very nice. I appreciate your compliments on the bike and yes,….I am absolutely stunned at the fact it is still up for sale.

Sold 1949 Colorflow / Westfield
The ‘49 Higgins Colorflow’s don’t pop up too often and much less a Westfield built model. This was the debut of the “Deluxe” model known as the Colorflow. This does not have the springer as it was an option for this first year. Yes,…it is missing the batwing light which unfortunately is to be...- Brian

Sold 1953 Shelby Airflow/ 52A
Here is a very fine example of Shelby’s model 52A. You will be hard pressed to find one in nicer condition. I believe this bike was ridden very little and kept pretty safe since it was made in ‘53. I see a couple very small and minor touch ups on fender but I have to say that it’s in exceptional...- Brian

Sold 1949 Colorflow / Westfield
As far as the appeal goes for the batwing light, some people love them and some people hate them. Nevertheless, they are an original part of the Colorflow bikes. Regardless, the bike would make a great addition for someone that collects Colorflows. It’s a one year bike model and Westfield made...- Brian

Sold 1949 Colorflow / Westfield
Yep I’m afraid so. The light was called a “batwing light” and seems that many were removed, lost or just didn’t survive over time. They make re-pop ones or if you find an original in good condition it will be a bit costly. I appreciate your interest.- Brian
