Should be S6 with that rim profile. The S5 had a raised hump.
Do those rims have knurling under the patina? I had an early postwar ladies' Continental that had non knurled, non stamped, chrome plated S6(by diameter) rims, I think they may have been from an earlier bike, but the patina looks the...
I had been in their shop in the late 90s, was surprised and delighted to still see them open!
Thought it was pretty cool when I spotted these recently too.

Pal and Chain Bike Corp are 2 other badgings that I've seen examples of with the triple crown fork and chain drive, but still not the same step plate and chain guard.
I have a Murray like the one pictured in the catalog, but notice the Murray has a single down tube and the seat mast curves forward, not straight up. My Murray's step plate is very different than the trike in question too.
I have a Rollfast trike with the same twin down tubes, but I think it's...
My understanding of the Schwinn lawsuit regarding another company copying their knurl is that their copyright stands on the knurling being for the purpose of knocking down weld slag in the center of the rim(inner valley area where the seam is) and leaving a uniform surface that cut down on prep...
Yeah, you'd have to muscle the fork apart to get the axle in though, no slots.
I believe it was the Eclipse stamped version of the front hub that was Prewar. The Bendix Model K should have been used up until they stopped making the cycle truck.
I was thinking 59 with those pin stripes. This 1960 catalog photo doesn't help much, but it looks like it could be those 3 pins on the fork, same as in 1959.
1959
1960
I encounter mismatched wheels often, none of which I believe to be original factory mismatch. This is just what people did when they damaged a rim, replace it with whatever is available.
My dream bike would lend a lot from this 1934 Goodyear Zeppelin Duralumin Cycle...with modern, much thinner wall tires of the same width, running at 45psi. The frame would probably be a Magnesium Alloy, possibly the highly flammable type. lol So, Polishing might be an issue.
...and a Pinion...
I've not seen that on a pressed steel front sprocket before, but it was definitely a 70's thing. Shimano called it alternate teeth. It's supposed to aid in shifting from what I've read.
If you've got the first gen tool, it doesn't work so well with a stub like that.
The weird thing is, it looks like the retaining pin was installed skinny side into the hole, or maybe it was a nail....that would have pulled straight out.
Yeah, I've been working on this one trying to upgrade and patina match it, then put some miles on it.
Looking for a matching patina S4 non-knurled rim to put on the front. I've got a matched set of no year stamp drum hubs for it. I'll have to post up pictures of the chrome loss on the S4 in a...
Hhmmm, I wonder who Lindsay was... Would be cool to identify where this was here in Louisville. No real landmarks to identify other than what looks like a tall curb behind the motorcycles.
I've been reporting that name for months now... Not sure if they are changing accounts and taking the photos/name with it or what. Would be great if Facebook actually did something.
This one is getting a bit of a revival.
Rigged the indicator chain in 2nd gear to go for a test spin.
Robbed a brake cable from another bike.
Debating on leaving the fenders or going back to the roadster look.
Plan on making this one a 9sp hybrid gear, Sturmey plus a Cyclo setup. Anyone...
Yeah, does look like a Shimano freewheel, but looks can be deceiving. Definitely hit it with some WD-40, stuff a rag down in the recess, and spin the wheel. That should help make the stamped make/model and splines visible to identify.
Yeah, I like how eBay and every other search changed over to a sort function for lowest price where an unsorted query of 1000 results shrinks to 300... You have to sort high to low and then scroll to the price range you're looking for. Now those are deceptive sales practices!
Ahh, man I'd have left it. Even though it wasn't factory installed, you've got documentation that says it came that way from the shop.
Thoughts on how far into 65 the 36h S2s could have been used?
I guess you can block a user, right? It irritates me even seeing the username! Sometimes I can spot his items by the photos or the cheapest bait& switch initial price.
Not sure if the drill bit would get stuck...might damage the housing too. Maybe drill and tap a hole in the cut off part, use a sleeve and a screw to pull the broken part like the tool would and remove the pin?
Went to remove this Villiers freewheel from a tandem wheel and found out just why the tools shear out the slots. The body is made of aluminum, not steel. Took the internals out to try and clamp on the body, it just spun.
I decided I was just going to destroy the freewheel taking it off, cut...
Facebook is now doing a thing where you can pay to boost the exposure of your Marketplace Ad... I can only imagine how they suppress the Ads where people don't pay. So how long before its a pay only site like eBay?
I still sell bikes on there, it just takes patience.
I've seen a little bit of eeeeverything called mustache bars though. Only thing I've seen called mustache by the Manufacturer is the Nitto roadie/touring handlebar.
Wald no. 1085 is the most accurate name I've seen so far in this 1985 Wald catalog, but it definitely doesn't have a good ring to...
I've got a few with the same profile as the lower picture there too. Still not sure of vintage, but they look to be the same width as the clad era rims, with similar contour in the middle and a bead at the outer edge, for strength, not for a bead seat.
Yeah, they still have it in cans(US) at the Kroger here.
Looks like you can even buy it bottled from Mexico on Amazon, but I don't know who would pay that much... Squirt Grapefruit Flavored Carbonated Caffeine Free Soda Bundled by Louisiana Pantry (Squirt Original, 24 Pack 12oz Glass)...
Their website and my phone must not be compatible. I tried checking out up until the point of actually spending money and still never saw a black Friday discount. Could be a location limited sale too I suppose. I'll have to try it on my tablet when I get home.
This one is nice too, having the differential rear end. At least I think that's what's in the middle there, I haven't had the Worksman axle like that apart. The trike I just tore down had only one live side to the axle.
Coaster brake for a tricycle.
I can't find my copy of the Model H, but here is an original catalog shot of its predecessor, the model J. Gives you a better idea of its use. Spindle is for crank arms.
If I remember right the H is more of a modular hub that can be put into a regular spoke type...
I'm pretty sure your steel/chrome fenders are original. I've got a blue one too with the same patina on the fenders, maybe worse. I think it's a 52 as well, I'll have to pull it out and get some pictures.
