Better get this one NOW!!! I’d get it but bikes are not in my budget right now. That light is worth more than he’s asking for the bike!!! https://www.facebook.com/share/t7nZp2NtUihHmkMU/?mibextid=79PoIi

Late night talk thought. Anyone have a bike or a part that serves no purpose, isn’t worth fixing, yet you hold onto it? If so, why?

Good friction motor, ladder is moveable. Not super detailed but it is in very good condition. Asking $30 shipped in the USA.

This antique 1950’s toy can be a top shelf piece for a collector. Often, these metal trucks are heavily worn, rusted, smashed, and certainly always are missing the box. The only thing missing from this truck is a common hubcap, otherwise play wear is very light. There’s a large scratch on a...

Hi everyone, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything for sale, but it’s time to spring clean. 1972 Schwinn Breeze, it isn’t worth my time and expense to restore, so I’m going to part it out. The front rim is rusted through, and the rear is pitted, so those are scrap. I charge actual...

Overpriced, way overpriced, for even the most mint originals, to start with. This bike is not only spray-bombed, it’s spray-nuked! If it’s paintable, it’s spray painted! I messaged who I hope was an unknowing seller, because this hot mess is advertised as “mostly original”. It’s a mess but hey...

I got this loaded 70’s Concord Freedom Deluxe tall frame from the original owner’s daughter. The original owner has passed. I noticed a very odd pair of offset holes drilled above the rear brake caliper. The rear brake caliper was nowhere to be found. I suspect the previous owner removed the...

These look like ‘50’s manufacture, and need some cleaning and polishing, and new reflectors. They also appear to be for a 26” bike but are adjustable. See below pics with tape measure. Asking $65 shipped OBO in the USA. PayPal, cash, money order, check are all accepted. Shipping from Tipp City...

It seems that Fat Tire Ale has changed it’s look and taste for good…and it’s here to stay. I don’t like the look and the taste isn’t quite as refreshing. Any thoughts? Even the pre-war-style cruiser is now omitted from the artwork in favor of a lightweight road bike. Everything I like is...

Good Evening! As of right now, I am building out of Radiobike antenna parts. I am no longer offering individual parts. Instead, due to material running out, I am offering complete antenna housings, with bracket, hardware, and the label for the inside of the tank as a whole “kit”. I only have 12...

70’s Formula Mini SSP from Kenner. I was able test it, and it is mechanically sound and runs good (would be better if I had a factory correct rip cord and not a generic one). The body is pretty rough…consider this a parts car or a restoration project. Missing exhaust tips, stickers, chrome is...

Prices below. All are shipping from Tipp City, OH. Shipping not included in price, so please let me know what you want and I’ll get a total. Will deal if buying multiples. Selling for my father in law. These are all nice cars, with high level of detail and heavily constructed. Hoods and most...

Got this in recently, it’s a 90’s JC Higgins reproduction cruiser built by Murray for Sears. It sat in a damp shed since it was new and the wheels, crank, and chain are nearly shot from the 25-30 year exposure to moisture. Good for parts now. Frame set (includes frame, fork, headset, kickstand...

I am certain this beautiful, incredibly rare piece will far outpace my budget at the moment, but I am still going to watch this one. Check it out!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/185465065696?campid=5335809022

Took a box of newly minted Huffy Radiobike parts to the post office, on my ‘59 Schwinn. Does anyone else press their classics into errand duty?

I found these cleaning, and remembered they came with my 1959 Schwinn Corvette. What are these called? And how do I put them back on or where do they go?

This is my last post for vintage auto plates! These range from fair to MINT. Many are pairs, and some even have the original mailers! Most of these are great candidates to go on a car as-is or need minor restoration to do so. Prices below OR I can make a deal on multiples!! Open to offers too...

These are pairs, in fair to excellent condition. All are originals, at or near 100 years old. Very cool pieces of history! Located in Tipp City, OH. I can ship if needed. All prices are OBO. Pair of ‘22’s: $45 Pair of ‘28’s, rare “B” prefix issues: $70 Pair of ‘29’s: $40

Most are pretty rough, the nicest one is the 1924. No matches to them. $20 each or $75 for all of them. OPEN TO OFFERS! Shipping from Tipp City, OH.

I can guarantee this is the only restoration thread for a light. However, rarity and extent of repairs tell me someone may benefit from my documentation. This of course is the correct, original Italian CEV light found on deluxe Schwinn middleweights of the 50’s. These are getting tougher to...

It just dawned on me, I have not seen a single Classic bicycle calendar. We have calendars for everything else, but not Classic and antique bikes. As popular as they are, I’m surprised. Has anyone seen one?

I’ve had to face the fact this rare light will need to be rebuilt, and each piece refurbished or scratch built. I’ve about got this apart, but I’m facing four stamped rivets at the base. Is there a suitable, correct replacement rivet for these? If not, I’ll just find something suitable and...

Not sure if this was shared already, but have a look! Is this a new serial number? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Schwinn-Corvette-White-Panther-Jaguar-Vintage-Bicycle-Cruiser-phantom-rare-/284278056164?campid=5335809022

I know some folks here like to collect the creepy stuff, so here is my offering for your consideration. These are so unique, every one is different, so I felt the best method was to start this as an auction. Link below. $5 starting bid, NO RESERVE...

Hello folks, I’m not sure these exist, but I am on the hunt for a nice LEGIT early 60’s Kentucky bicycle license plate. I can restore it if needed. If it’s from southern or western Kentucky that’s a bonus. Please, PLEASE no cereal box plates!

I am having a problem, and I have chased this off and on. What is the cause of this? How can I install it his so that it does not rub? The replacement speedometer drive for my Cadet is a tight, awkward fit. The tab reaches the spokes fine, but then it rubs into the drive wheel casing and the...

Vintage plates, three are matching sets. 1973 & 70 “66 UD” $25 for all 1973 “7002 US” $20 for the pair 1972 “393 UP” $15 for the pair (1 is rough) 1957 $10 (can be used as is) 1953 $10 (needs repainted) 1969 & 1991 plates $5 each Let me know which ones you want and how far they need to go...

Good morning! Can anyone help me in going about repairing this light? It’s for my ‘59 Corvette, I have had no luck in finding an identical replacement. This is the OEM light. I want to get this done in under a month. I need to fix or replace the bezel, which is bashed out of round. I need to...

Hello, I have this tank bracket for a tank-light Monark which had some heavy rust on one side. I have the rusted cleaned, but how do I seal this off? This part MUST carry electrical current, it serves as a tank bracket AND a battery terminal. Thank you in advance!

Hello, folks... I am on to my ‘65 Silver Jet, and started with the tail light. I cleaned it and repainted it but over time things went to pot. How do I clean this up and SEAL IT so this doesn’t happen again? There’s enough corrosion that I need to completely strip this again. Open to...

Hello everyone! I should know better, but I really am stumped. My Firestone is getting prepped for the season, and last year in the 2019 season all of my tanks ceased to function. Idk why, and idk why I forgot all of last year to fix them. Maybe due to stress. I checked the bulbs, they’re new...

Good evening! It has been a long time since I posted anything for sale, but this bike has sat for almost 5 years since a botched rechrome job on the frame, and it sat for 4 years prior to that. Time to part ways! I’m keeping the rack and one tail light for my Dayton, but the rest has to go. I...

Good afternoon! I’m building this model below as a “COTTON PICKER” to accompany my white Corvette. Only problem is, MPC didn’t give this option from the factory (gee, I wonder why?). I am able to build my model but need some very small decals for the seat, chain guard, and seat tube. I need a...

Complete tank for a 1961-63 women’s Huffy Silver Jet. This is off a 1963, and is painted in Autumn Gold which was a ONE YEAR ONLY color. It comes with the early METAL headlight, and it will clean up or rechrome well. There are no cracks or major pits. Tank has surface rust and most of the...

I have had nothing but praise for the parts I have made for Radiobikes: antenna housings, antenna brackets, tank brackets, and tank wiring labels. Even Huffy Corp has used my parts. Before getting married and life changing, I was planning to make tuner knobs. I already have the drawings made. My...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I let my ‘59 Corvette play in the snow for some festive 50’s photos. Post up those Christmas bicycle ‘fotos! Note: The silver tree is a family heirloom from the mid 50’s, the Philco radio is a ‘57-‘58.

So I looked at my ‘60 Dayton and noticed it has a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed coaster brake hub. I have never seen one of these, I have have owned many Schwinn’s, Huffy’s, Murray’s, Raleigh’s, Hercules’, etc. So I went to find the date code to see if this was possibly original. I can’t find it. I...

They have sunburn and need restored, NO cracks, holes or chewed areas. These are original OEM Huffman grips with the “H” logo embossed on them. This style is hard to find if you’re going to do a restoration. $20 shipping included!

Looking for shifter chain, and axle hardware, for a Dec ‘59 S/A hub. I had a replacement but somehow it has has all disappeared

Selling extra fenders I do not need for the ‘59. One is 1955-58, the other is 1962-up. Asking $35 each plus the ride from Ohio. Neither one is perfect, both have a couple dents and need to be polished.

I am almost done with rebuilding my '59 Schwinn Corvette, and this is now the last thing I need. I want it ASAP. My original Cadet blue face speedometer is rebuilt and restored, I just need the external drive and inner cable. They MUST work. My original outer housing was damaged and the inner...

If you have an original Silver King or Silver Jet from 1960-61, this is a golden nugget. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335809022&icep_item=233573071490

I am now looking at the headlight for my 1959 Corvette. This is an original “Made in Italy” light. Bad news is, it is in very rough condition. I can restore the inside, and the back half but the front cover and bezel are toast. I don’t think I can fix the bezel, and the chrome inner lens needs...

Hello! I finished a ton of projects that were in my way and got some more cash scrapped up to finished the ‘Vette. The frame is looking good, but I still have a couple of things to address before I start to reassemble this white wabbit. How can I deal with these rust spots in the rear? To leave...

Hi everyone! I am working on the bikes again. I have three fenders here. The one on the far left is my original from a 1959 Corvette “Christmas bike”. It is really banged up and covered in scuffs. It is probably beyond repair, and will likely look awful no matter I do. I have two replacements...

I got in the hobby for many reasons. One was the unique and beautiful style of these vehicles which are no longer built. Quality bikes built in America or Europe. I feel like the wave of tacky, gaudy, poor quality junk from big box stores has robbed these vintage rides of their unique style...

Hey guys, The NOS double-butted spokes arrived today for my 3-speed Corvette. They are slightly longer than the originals and the end butts are a little different. The end butt begins a little higher up than the originals, and so do the threads. Can these have additional threads added and...

Good morning folks, Has anyone else been to the big box stores or a bike shop lately? It’s been crazy. It took me two months to find a USED bike trailer for my family, I finally got one yesterday. It was not the brand I wanted but it is decent and I am happy to have it. Several deals fell...
