    Just saw this poor tiger tied up

    Lots of potential there! Theme bike...Rat Rod..... Add a set of cheap wheels and your worst tires and you have basic transportation that scumbags are less likely to steal if you need to leave it unattained. Also I see a lot of good parts....frame, bearings, front fork, crank , etc. And...

    Are there any members here who owned a Phantom as a child?

    My neighbors bought a Phantom for their son in 1954, just a few months before he turned 16. As you would expect, he gave little attention to a bike, he and his friends had their minds on getting a drivers license. The family happened to mention to my dad they had a brand new bike that their...

    I Believe in Miracles!

    ME! Success rate of finding dropped part depends upon scarcity/importance. If vital or irreplaceable about 1 in 10. If I have a box full it will usually drop right beside my foot in plain view. Included in the looking for tools and looking for parts is roughly 10-15% of each section...

    PeeWee died

    pee wee was fun because he avoided insulting people.......no negative political or personal attacks on people who had deep feelings about an issue. He made Non malicious fun about the foibles of human behavior in a way that made us smile.... a rare find these days and not a bad legacy.

    Good Buy on Girls Phantom

    In my twenties was hit intestinally by an axxhole in a truck while riding on the Gettysburg battlefield. I considered myself lucky to escape with no injuries, and gave up bike riding. Thirty years later our county opened a rail trail and I got the urge to ride again when I saw what looked...

    Just found these rummaging around in my basement. Both are in good shape to be used as is or for restoration. Will be looking to sell them in the near future so don't want to misidentify or ask a crazy low or crazy high price. both are obviously repaints. Number 1 is pre-war Colson I...

    Columbia Bike Reflector

    I recently purchased a vey nice Columbia Torpedo from the son of a 90 year old woman who died a while back. The rear fender sported a plastic AMBER reflector and the rider don't seem like the kind of person who would customize her bike and I was just curious if this was an garage bump...

    Rabeneick info, please

    Loved mine. Before health conditions forced an end to my riding days it was one of my favorite bikes. Heavy 3 speed with 28" wheels but once you got it rolling you could build up momentum & go fast. Was a great boardwalk cruiser and Lucky Dog loved it. It was one of the last bikes I sold as...

    Western Auto Store

    Sad to see those independent businesses disappear. I was fortunate to live much of my life in a time when there were many "smaller" stores like WA, Joe the Motorists Friend, and Pep Boys (when they carried a variety of non car items). Same thing happened to hardware and toy stores. When I...

    Chinese "leather" 3 spring saddles- don't buy one!

    The chicoms are laughing their axes off at us. Example: from a couple days ago: Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, who heads U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), was asked if authorities have ruled out extraterrestrials. "I haven't ruled anything out at...

    How do you clean out the rust inside the frame without removing the rust on the outside the frame?

    I've used brake cylinder hones and gun cleaning brushes to remove rust from inside of metal tubes. Gun cleaning kits have various size brushes and long handle attachments. Attach the brush to the rod and work manually, or attach to a drill so rust clean out can be quick and easy. After...

    Have a boxing match with a box!

    If you're a collector of old "stuff," sooner or later you will come across ephemera you want to display or use which is a dichotomy because ephemera is a word that describes something, usually paper or cardboard that was not meant to be saved. I've found that ephemera make great displays, and...

    Is it the addiction or just a common sense good investment.

    While neither would be considered collector items they both look to be in excellent shape and with the addition of some tires, have a lot of ride left in them. Great for college kids or for leaving at a beach house. The rub of course is the cost of tires. I learned to work on bikes just...

    My most "rewarding" bike ride

    Happened about 10-15 years ago but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. On local bike trail at one of the rest stops just enjoying the solitude. Three kids about 13-15 on bmx bikes pull up. Little noisy, but not out of line, and I figured my quiet time was over so I got on my bike...

    When finished, that bike will be so cool! 🤣 Get it? Would that bike be called a "popcycle?" 😖 Did getting that bike put you in a "Good Humor?"😛 When you service the bike, be sure to clean and regrease the axle cones. 😅 Okay, enough already Just an old man with too much time on his hands...

    Locos, rolling stock, parts, literature. Broken or not running ok as I can always use parts. Best that you have at least a starting price in mind as I hate to "make offer" because often times someone who has seen too many episodes of the nose pickers or pawn clowns will come along later...

    Sunday's Show and Tell... 5/1/22

    I love reading this thread on sundays. Whether it's art deco glass, lights/speedometers, pristine bikes or rust buckets, a wooden crate that once held bike parts, yard sale scores, or junk yard\curb trash saves, it's all good. We Cabers are just as much archeologists as those who explore the...

    Always wanted one of these but not the modern made china crap that daisey is putting out these days. Finding it with almost all of the original box is very unusual, Model number dates it to the days of my very early youth so it is definitely a keeper. You see it just like I found it...not...

    Adam Savage of Mythbusters "restores" his vintage bicycle

    I think I saw a similar video on the walmart school of bicycle repair site. That bike stand or should I say stands is a classic. Nothing does a better job of removing rust from old chrome like a wire brush and scotch brite pads! Myself, I prefer to use a round coarse brush inserted in my high...
