Here's a very nice Paramount for your review. The size is 57cm and the serial number is K71107. It is complete with its original Campagnolo triple touring gearing. For more info on the bike as well as more photos, please go to the Buzz Bomb blog...

Folks seemed to have enjoyed that last "Restore or Not" so let's do another. If memory serves, this Huffman is a 1939. Photos show the condition upon receiving it some 20 years ago. So, you get to vote whether you would have restored it or just refurbished it. The poll will go 6 days and...

Ok, here's the discussion. I received this bike some years ago and thought it would be a great bike for the "restore or not" topic. I have since either A: restored the bike or B: cleaned it up and overhauled it to make it rideable. Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself which you...

Hi, all. I'm selling this Snyder-built Hawthorne with an asking price of $600 (now $400). It is relatively complete with some of the parts looking to be replacements. Those of dubious origin are the fenders, saddle, chainguard, and wheelset (the Morrow hub is dated 1939). The stem also shows a...

After a separate posting last week regarding Firestone Fleetwood Supremes and the posters we'd made, I'm making a separate posting for anyone who'd like to buy a poster (or two). I thought I'd run through most of these but ran across a batch of them while digging around. They were produced for a...

In these crazy and provocative times, many folks are afraid to ride out in public. Inattentive drivers are a constant concern and let's not even start on the topic of active shooters. Offered for sale is a bike that is guaranteed to keep you safe. And in good shape! I believe it's a standard...

Hi, all. I thought I'd throw this out to the community and see if anyone had any knowledge about this old Gold Eagle. I've seen other Gold Eagles posted on The Cabe but nothing quite like this one so any info would be much appreciated. Coot

I'm betting someone could use this bicycle as an inexpensive rider or parts bike. The frame is in good condition and it looks like all the important parts like the fenders and flat braces, chainring, hubs, saddle, etc., are there. Asking $125 or trade. Will ship via ShipBikes anywhere in the...

Over the last 40 years I have collected/acquired a bunch of old saddles and parts. There are pans, springs and more or less complete units. Everything looks usable with no detrimental rust or other physical damage. Brands included Lobdell, Persons, Mesinger, and more. Most are 1930's or 1940's...

White Horse and Neelam Rickshaws I recently acquired three vintage rickshaws (samlors, pedicabs, etc.) from a gentleman here in Reno. He, in turn, found them in a house is Murphy's, Ca. The story goes that the original Murphy's owner purchased them in Thailand some years back, supposedly in the...

It has single-tube tires, a huge (65cm) lugged frame, and drum-brake hubs. To my eye the frameset looks like an old Raleigh, for what that's worth. It has the cupped fork and the bolt-mounted seat stays like a DL-1. Beyond that, I'm confused, both by its components and paint. I'm offering a...

Hi, gang. I'm selling this partial 1950 Schwinn that was well into its restoration when the owner's wife passed away. He sadly but understandably lost any desire to finish the bike. Eventually he passed as well and the bike was relegated to a box where it's been sitting for the last 21 years...

Sorry I don't have more photos, but this is all I took some years back. I'll post more after I dig the bike out of storage again, but in the meantime here it is. It looks to be a fairly complete Blackhawk; it's missing its tank door but that's it (I'll post photos of the door side soon). It has...

Hopefully this mostly-complete bike can help someone finish their own. Or maybe someone will choose to finish this one, which would be nice. $250 o.b.o. plus shipping via BikeFlights (roughly $70).

I sure could use either an original tank in similar condition or a tank door for my Elgin Blackhawk. I have cash or am happy to trade. The photos are of the actual bicycle I'm trying to complete. I'd prefer a door with matching paint as opposed to one that needs to be repainted.

Hi, gang. I have this fairly complete Schwinn balloon-tire Hornet for sale (serial# n92444). The scroll paint looks nice and all the original parts are in good condition (a solid high desert bike). The front fork, front wheel, saddle and pedals aren't original. I'm asking $250 plus shipping...

Hi, all. I'm thinking about making some center or parking stands for prewar 26" bikes. With that in mind, I'm trying to see if there is a market to make a few more? Cost would be in the $50 to $75 range for unpainted steel. Thanks! Coot

Hi, gang. We wanted to let you know we just posted a Mead Ranger for sale on eBay. Check it out and holler if you have any questions. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1939-Mead-Ranger-similar-to-the-Schwinn-Motorbike-/121518567661? Coot and Julie Buzz Bomb Bicycles

Hi, all. I wanted to pass around the word that I'm on the hunt for a prewar DP Harris women's 26" bike. It should be in 7 condition or better. I also need a Samsco head badge. If you have either (or both) please feel free to email or call me. Much appreciated! Coot Buzz Bomb Bicycles 775...

Hi, all. Thought I'd pass along a quick blog about a Schwinn Motorbike that a colleague just pulled out an old hunting shed in Nevada. I hope you enjoy it. http://buzzbombbicycles.wordpress.com/
