    Wards hawthone

    I got this from a neighbor years ago. And the wheels were too rotten to use, i pulled it out of the shed thinking about using the quite a few parts from it on another project I've been messing with. Any idea what year it could be? I'm not a very tall person and this frames a little too tall...

    Columbia experiment.

    Recently I've came across several of these mid 50s columbias, one being this really sad 55 Dont be fooled, it's not as nice as the stacked instagram filters make it look. Paint is super scratched up, rear fenders too dented up to bother painting black, and it's really chalky all over. Some...

    1954 columbia 3 star deluxe

    Two new projects

    Its been a while since i last posted here. But I've finally found two decent deals on these.

    NOS thread on track cog

    Found this little thing today, it looks to be a new old stock thread on track cog. It's the same thickness as a new departure cog and a skip tooth chain fits it. I thought that it was neat, but I'd love to know a little more about it. The tag reads J.S.H & co quality hardware and service. On...

    J.c higgins colorflow and other weekend goodies

    Got this poor old gal on saturday, followed me home for 50$. there's decent original paint hiding under the old house paint, but unfortunately the frame itself is banana'd so I think she'll just be a parts donor. the beehive is already disassembled and the first round of straightening has...
