I have decided to sell my 1938 Cleveland Welding Company 3-Gill.
This is a 100% complete original bike with very rare "reverse" paint scheme. Original paint, original seat, original tank and light, original reflector. Steering lock (no key).
Comes with the original light and switch hardware...
Does anyone know much about these old bikes? Junk?
Possibly good daily rider and folding bike for a trunk?
Thanks!
Edit: Brevettato means "Patented" in Italian, so that isn't the name of the bike apparently!
What is this worth? Is this a unique bike or just junk? Could this be a good daily rider to put in my trunk?
I've never heard of this bike before.

Has anyone ever experienced that? My '41 Westfield makes a pop pop pop sound when pedaling hard. It's quiet when pedaling lightly.
Yesterday I replaced the pedals from another bike, thinking the pedal bearings were acting up. That wasn't it, she still did it.
So I removed the chain...
Hey guys, I am looking at a Columbia Paratrooper Compax folding bike for daily use in my travels. Something for the trunk or easy transport, but that could be unfolded and ridden short distances.
Are these bikes okay for your average terrain and "daily" use? I'm 175 lbs and ride my bikes...
Refurbed/restored in accordance with Gary Mc's guidance!

This 219 has a little scuffing around the edges where someone (trust me, I did better) long ago tried pulling it apart. Only two glass...
For Sale, I have this totally original survivor, 99% perfectly complete 1941 Westfield Sterling! MECHANICALLY LIKE-NEW!
I have never seen a more complete and straight bicycle! Every nut and bolt is there, and was carefully removed and cleaned. Other than the chrome issues, the bike is...
I'm doing sort of a flip on this old ladies 1941 Westfield Sterling. Just a clean up, re-grease, etc and hope to eventually sell. These rims are horrible!! The old chrome is just peeling off!
What should I do? I'm already into this bike for too much $$ as it is. New rims? Maybe just...
Okay, this has been bugging me for a while. Stay with me...
After putting the hub in the dropout, what order of parts do you use to bolt it all down?
Washer, then fender braces, then truss' then nut?
What about fender braces, then truss, then washer, then nut?

Anyone dealt with this place in Long Beach (either in person or on the internet)??
Junky Rusty Bikes http://www.junkyrustybikes.co
They seem to have some good pricing on tires, but have a few bad write-ups on Yelp.
Thanks.
Tonight I began the teardown on my 'new' 1941 Ladies Westfield Sterling. I'm pretty sure this one will be a refurb and clean only.
Anyway...I was thinking about the parts as they came off (some easily, some with much swearing). I am quite certain that the last time these bolts and headbadge...
I haven't gotten this rack off the bike yet for better pics and such, but I thought I'd get what I have out there. More pics upon request.
This is an original rear rack "crutch tip" x4 for a Jaguar, Panther, Corvette or American. Excellent shape, perfect chrome!!! 26" bike.
Technically...
Hey guys, I always seem to 'classify' or categorize everything and the idea has been floating around in my head for some time...why don't we standardize the means in how we describe or categorize vintage bicycles.
Let me explain.
How do you know if an old car is truly original, or just...
I won her on The Bay! I REALLY wanted that light for my Westfield (Thanks for the lead on this auction Talewinds, I owe you a beer), but the seller wouldn't part it out. However I think it's kinda a cool bike. What do you guys make of it? Any history on the type or info? What's with the...
So I received my replacement part (the grooved race) as the old one was totally shot.
Unless I have this wrong, I cannot get the bearing past that first ridge on the left. I assume the bearings roll in the wide deeper smooth groove just over or to the right the first ridge on the left. Does...
I need one of these for an Elgin "Air Cooled" rear hub. I think it's all the same as a Musselman too.
I have seen the ones on eBay.
Got to get my girl rolling again! Thanks!
Just acquired the correct hanging tank for my '39 Black Elgin. Thanks Catfish! It's gonna be blasted and painted to match my '39 lady!
Now. Below are a few photos I've found of the rare Westfield built Elgin with tank. I have no Westfield built Elgin catalog shots, and only have these...
Torrington 8 Refurb Tutorial Needed *Update
My old T8s were kinda "grindy" on a longer ride yesterday. Does anyone have any experience pulling them apart and re-greasing / checking them?
Okay guys, the Elgin has developed an odd "clanking" noise when riding lately. I can't seem to pinpoint it. If you have any clues, here are the specifics.
Sounds like metal hitting the frame, like a hammer or something.
It is irregular. So while pedaling, or coasting it happens.
Not the...
These just popped up about 20 min from my house.
What are your thoughts on the 2 Hawthornes? One is a skip tooth and looks kinda cool/OG

Anyone else spot this Skylark frame? What do you think? Will it be a lifetime of hunting the missing parts?

After 10 fun months of work I am happy to present my 26" 1941 Westfield in Duo-Tone Blue! While sanding and blasting I uncovered various light and dark tones of blue. Ken "Mr Columbia" showed me the below catalog page and lo-and-behold…Duo Tone Blue! So that was my target for this...
Have you guys seen this thing on FleaBay? I'll try to post a link here soon.
All I can say is, nice bike, but not that nice. And I think Bob U would faint if he saw the seat! I've never even heard if this bike, maybe someone could ring in with some facts.
Guys,
I have a '41 ND Model D that I refurbed and have done a few test rides on.
Bottom line, when I brake, I hear a hissing sound, then sometimes the brakes stay engaged at about 50% power.
Any ideas? Did we not lube it up right?
For Sale, a prewar dropstand for a 26" bike. I believe it is from a Columbia / Westfield. It has been blasted and primed. Ready for any paint of your choice! No bolts, sorry.

Hey guys, just a brief post to let you know I found a chain breaker tool that works perfectly on old skip tooth chains! My LBS helped me match this one up to my 1930-something Diamond Skiptooth. The pins are narrow enough that it allows for a skip tooth to fit in just fine and straight. Put a...
Is there a special chain breaker tool for skiptooth chains? What do you guys use? Is there one that works on all chains for versatility?
Let's see some pics!
The Prewar Dropstand is for a Westfield/Columbia. I decided not to use it for my resto, and instead go with a kickstand.
It fits any 26" bike, has been blasted and primed. READY FOR PAINT! No nuts & bolts. Straight and flawless.
Perfect for your restoration or high-quality prewar bike...
Hello friends,

Title says it all. She needs this tank!
Must be the short tank (22" long, doesn't go past seat tube), like in the pics, with 3 "gills" instead of the 3 "V" shaped slots that are more common.
Thanks. Any condition accepted as it will be fully restored to match the Black Elgin.
Guys and Gals,
My chain tensioners on my "new" Elgin are nearly maxed out. As far "in" as they will go. I have a few more turns until they will hit the stops. My skiptooth chain is pretty old...1939 probably. Do I need to pull a link somehow, and if so, how do I do that? Am I in any...
Well after 9 months and who knows how much $$, the 1939 Elgin is complete! My goal was to make it as close to original as possible, and looking like it did "off the line" back in 1939…but with new tires. I referenced a fair amount of 1939 catalogs to help me along, and decided to keep it black...
Well, I just got these two reflectors in the mail today and I am not sure.
I got this one, but the pics didn't show it had "BIKE" written on the lens. So I was surprised when I opened it. What is this for/from, year, is it vintage? It's for the wife's Schwinn.
This one I got off of...
Not sure if this should be in the Restoration area, but it kinda applies to all bikes.
My new grips are loose, any good techniques for taping the bars? What kind of tape is best?
Not sure if this is possible...but looking for a decent light, and a fair price. ($80 max). I'm looking for an older style more "bulbous" light (see pic below) vs one of the re-pops that is more cylindrical.
Doesn't need to operate or work.
Thanks. ~Buster
Does anyone have any good suggestions or tips for removing drips and runs in clear coat? I got a little heavy in some spots and was wondering what I should do. I have sanded some of them with 600 grit, but that still seems to dull the clear coat in that area.
No, I'm not talking about insurance to ride and operate!
What do you guys do, if anything to insure your collection from theft or tragic loss? If the house burns down, if the floods wash it all away? Personal floaters or as an added part of your homeowners policy? Did your company need...
I have no pics. But while on a recent trip walking around town, I spotted a really cool lightweight or possibly middleweight bike with dimpled stainless fenders. It might have been newer, but looked vintage.
Not a Schwinn, I don't know what it was. I went back later to investigate and it...
FS - Prewar Torrington Stem SOLD!
This Torrington Pope Texas stem is off a 1941 Columbia and is the same stem used on Columbias, Westfields, and Elgins (amongst others too).
It is in great shape! Comes with bolt and block, and nut and washer for the handlebars.
$30 Shipped.
Another "Which Tire" thread. A Black & White Elgin, a lot of Photoshop help (thanks Abe) and these two options. I CAN'T DECIDE!:mad::confused:
Images are a rough hack to get the idea.
I have 3 Prewar 26" dropcenters for sale. The rustiest one is from a '41 Westfield/Columbia. The others appear to be the right style for an Elgin or just about anything. ALL are straight, true and ridable.
$20 shipped for the rusty, $25 shipped each for either of the other two.
$65...
