I had a pair in green….girls and boys. Labeled 100th year Anniversary bike (1995) but some could have been fabricated in 1996. Both were in great condition and sold them as a pair for $400 locally 4-5 years ago

Lord Have Mercy! GLWS

tomsjack……you buying any of these posted sales? You’re a busy boy! Enjoy

I give these guys an A for effort but for me I’d rather have no artistic charm put into my bikes at fine art pricing! I like the patina on my bikes and on my 71 year old body! Ride on, brothers!

Cruiser Deluxe Repop….not Phantom…anniversary bike? 1995….it’s cool,looking and cool for the right buyer!

UCanes01…James…Welcome to the group. Monark bikes are cool. I don’t have any in my collection but may at some point….I’m actually trying to thin the herd out…it’s hard to do when you love them all. What bikes do you have in your collection, whether it be large or small. Hopefully you have one...

A cool piece of history there!

Yes…. The rod brake Raleigh’s are cool. I hear their stopping ability isn’t as good as other Raleigh braking systems but……that’s what a Flintstone Stop is all about!😝

My CaliGirl Pixie from Los Gatos…..moved away from the area in ‘85. Any locals know if this shop is still there? Changed name?

I have a few Raleigh 3 speeds, one being a Surperbe in green and a matching pair of 1974’s from the original owner in brown. I’ve always called my green bike color, bronze green but not sure if that is what Raleigh lists it as…..now, not sure what the correct name is for the brown Sports 3...

Another cool bike, Harpo….just air up the tires, lube it up and ride that purdy girl. Way cool

Interesting bike…..cool little unique features. I’ll pick up a bike for myself even if it’s not collectible but cool looking! This one has a cool factor. Have fun with your projects.

@Freqman1. Beautiful pair….love the Elgins…..I have a couple purdy girls but no boys yet!

Lots of Valentines Day love there, Rustystone2112…..beautiful

Big Brother and also lowlifes are always watching!

Almost like a powder coat was done over bare metal without a primer. I know powder costing can chip up. Keep us posted on your project.

It counts, Chadillac…….still feel the brotherly love there!

Wish it was closer….. $200 shipping is killing me….nice, clean Fastback!

Lovers at first sight!

@Risk Man…Just sent BobCycles a heads up on the post….told him we are just looking out for each other!

Good deal there!

Well, Mike…..I’m thinking those girls will keep your mind off your upcoming doctor stuff! Let’s get this party started and back to a speedy recovery, buddy!

You have the Electrolux….now you need an Airstream travel trailer

Short and sweet….. hoping and praying for a speedy recovery for you Mike…. Be well, brother!

Thanks for reporting it….too much crap going on and no action taken! I saw the same listings on my feed and found the “can‘t be found “ page

Awhile back, I got a ‘65 American from a local guy in worse shape than yours and said Ol Lordy, what am I going to do with this rust bucket. Fenders were rotted through, wheels were rusted and paint was a mess. Stripped the bike, painted the old paint/rusted frame with Rust Reformer, put on...

Interesting! I usually have to pry mine off, top and bottom. Maybe someone replaced the original one with another era or repop? Just saw your pic of a Junior…maybe Junior and standard headsets may be slightly different in specs. My concern would be to make sure everything sits properly and...

Thanks Tom. I’m a mtn biker and ride the current bikes but love the vintage rides to cruise around on and reminisce

Not sure what my lightweight Western Flyer girl weighs but still a work out peddling uphill… nothing like steelies and single speed hubs! She’s rollin‘ with blackout ”war time” hubs too!

Always looking for Ipswich plates because that’s where I live but Rowley or Essex are next door neighbors

Just added this 1999 Schwinn Moab 1 to my vintage mtn bike collection. Only needed minor cleanup to make it sparkle again. Lovin’ it

¡Yo también, mi amigo!

Born in February 1953……so yeah, still 39 again

Probably late ‘64….Santa brought it to me for Christmas. Color was Violet

Actually late ‘64 model looking at my sissy bar loop….for Christmas of 1964….Violet color of ‘65 models

Just acquired my 1st BMX bike, a chrome 1987 Mongoose Expert with laid back seat post. Lots of elbow grease, chrome cleaner and wax brought it back…too bright to ride it in the sun without sunglasses. Putting it alongside my Schwinn Stingrays.

It’s more exercise to manually put in the words versus using the drop down…..whew…I’m exhausted in making this post!😝

A Beauty….. ‘39 or ‘40? Down tube has me confused. Curved?

You should run a chain guard on it that says Kool Krate instead of Coal Krate…jus sayn

This is awesome! Looks like Woody Allen’s version of Planet of the Bike Apes movie!😝

Wondering if my ‘64 Schwinn Stingray that I got from Santa that disappeared one day, went to the “demonstration “in L.A? Ummm…. I doubt it!😡

Nice turnout, Manny…lots of cool looking bikes and lots of smiling faces! Thanks for sharing!

Now you’ll need WHERE and WHY cranks to complete your set!

Whhhhhhaaattt!

Nice ay ay ay project Harpo. I’m into one of these projects, too with my ‘51 Columbia Franklinbike. at least you have close to proper parts on it and not some like mine from the previous owner who must have been on dangerous drugs when building it. He must have been a “crash test dummy” by the...

Not sure what one looks like but will have to research that suggestion, ian

I found a useful Columbia internal kickstand schematic off one of the other group forums posted by THE BLACK MONARK…..this will help. I can now see it’s a pin and not a screw/screws that holds the kickstand leg in place. I don’t have the special tool to make the removal easier so will have to...

Thanks, HEMI426…Sounds like the info you gave me about possibly two pins on each end sounds about right. They must be retainer pins that go in on each side and fit into a grooved out retainer. there were no visible screwdriver head markings on each top side of “pins”… and if there were a trace...

Still cant get the kick stand to unlock.. I’ve taken the crank off and got into the inside/ backside of the kickstand thru the crank housing and blasted KB in the hole as well as on the other parts of the kickstand with no success. I may have to drill out the pin looking thingy in the pin...

Researching the Columbia serial number chart, my mongrel has a ‘51 model year frame
