      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...

      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...

      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...

      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...

      Sold 1953 Red Phantom

      I have had this bike for several years with intentions of addressing the very few things that is needed to make this bike correct.

      Shelby 52a / finally sees some daylight

      This one has been locked away in one of my sheds basically since I found it a few years ago. This old fella is completely original down to the tires. Was originally thinking of parting with it so I took it out to knock off the dust. Starting to have second thoughts now. Just came out super nice...

      Mead Project ID Help

      I am finally starting to organizing one of my sheds as I have been telling myself the past two years I would do. Actually scratching this one off my long list of “things to do.” Anyway, this Mead Ranger has just been sitting just exactly as it was when I first came across it about 2 years ago...

      Mead Crusader/ DX

      I haven’t posted for some time but I was moving some bikes around in my shed and decided to pull this one out because I had been meaning to do a few adjustments to it.

      Elgin Blackhawk/ Tank Door

      Gonna go way out on a limb with this one. Looking for a tank door to match the color scheme of this one. Hoping there may be some salvaged or saved from a tank beyond saving. I have a door for it now but is faded completely out. Never know unless you ask,.....LOL!

      Early Truss Frame / Manufacturer?

      Teens Truss Frame? Manufacturer?

      Got this truss frame not long ago and would really like to find out the manufacturer. Not much paint left but was blue with red darts. I removed the badge to see if it may have been the original and I do believe it possibly was since there is an oval outline that matches. Two (slightly larger)...

      Elgin Twin 20 / Wrong Parts

      May have an opportunity to purchase this bike but appears to me it’s missing quite a bit. I’m no expert on these models by far but what appears to be incorrect is; fenders, chain ring, bars. It’s also missing head tube shroud,..Etc..... Not exactly sure what it’s worth with these issues but I do...

      Early Wooden Grip ID

      Pulled these off an early 30’s set of motobike bars. Have a shiny hard coating almost like a plastic. Under close inspection I could see they were wooden. Great overall condition. Seems they would be for much earlier bike. I’m wondering if any of you have any info on these grips. Thanks

      Which Colorflow?

      Well I could use some opinions from you guys. I’m likely going to part with one of these two but I’m truly up in the air which one of these bikes to keep. I have a ‘49 Colorflow and these two ‘53’s. I would just assume keep them all but selling one of these keeps me moving forward towards...

      Early 50’s Monark Super Deluxe

      Stumbled across this bike and may have an opportunity to purchase it. Not sure yet.

Just needs a good cleaning...

      Colorflow/ Regal Deluxe Jewel Mystery

      I am hoping some of you with much more experience than me can educate me on this. I was fortunate enough to save this bike last week and am really curious about the tank jewels.

      OA Bath or WD and Wool

      I’d like to get some opinions on cleaning this bike up. Should I do an OA bath or do you all think WD and 0000 steel wool? The green on top of rear rack is very thin from being weathered. Don’t want to rub too much on that. Your thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!

      Colorflow Yard Art

      Well it’s been nearly a year without any significant finds but got lucky earlier this week.

      Columbia/Goodyear Hi Way Patrol

      Got this one a while back and haven't done a thing with it. As you see it is exactly as was received. I haven't even wiped the dust off it. If I remember correctly this is a 1954. The bike was repainted and then oddly pinstriped with white (pinstriping tape). I was going to attempt to take a...

      CWC Shockmaster (price lowered) $115

      Late 40's early 50's CWC Shockmaster Fork system. It is straight and in good overall condition. I believe this used to be original red color then painted over black at one time. Kind of a hodge podge of both now. Only needs cotter pins $130.00 shipped to your door!
    30. Brian

      What's the Rack!

      I picked up this rear rack a while back but was never sure what it came off of. Any ideas of what bike(s) this came on? CWC maybe? Looks very similar to a rack that belongs on my '50 Snyder/Hawthorne except for the outer raised trim around holes.

      Correct Springer???

      I have this springer and was told that it would be a correct style for a 1950 Hawthorne (Snyder) bike that I have as a project. I have read that Snyder did not manufacture their own springers at this era and used CWC. I may be totally misinformed but have a lot of faith in most members...
