What a moron

Found this Desert Tortoise near Shelbyville Indiana a couple of years ago. It acted like it was someone's pet, so obviously it was stolen from the desert at some point. Called a conservation officer who could not come to get it so animal control was sent out. They had no idea what to do with...

Could be a track frame

Looking for a pair of Campy aero brake levers with hardware and hoods. Average condition ok.

I gave up on riding any trails because of idiots including people that take up the entire trail and people with dogs who will not move out of the way. Not worth it to me. I keep police mace with me and every dog that runs after me gets it. No exceptions. Been bitten and cornered by agressive...

Love these photos. I had a paper route in the Columbus, Indiana area for 4 years. The paper bag I had from the newspaper was ok, but my favorite ones were two that my Mom made from old blue jeans. They kept their shape well, and I used the pockets for my money bag, ticket book, and bottles...

Did quite a few centuries in up until I turned 50. No more, but I'd like to try. Did the Ride Across Indiana. 160 miles in one day on my Peugeot PX10. That was a killer.

Way cool.

Finally sold my Schwinn tandem. Only rode it about 6 times in 15 years.

That would be neat-o. I'd love to know who may have had my Higgins Deluxe before I got it.

I'm thinking a Huffy Dill Pickle. A friend of mine had one when she was a kid.

Hey All, My Dad just gave me this watch chain. It is one my Grandfather got somewhere.

That's fantastic!

Looks like I better check the front rim to make sure it's not doing it too. Thanks...

My Luxury Liner got a flat tire and when I took the tire off, this is what I found. Thr rim strip was "melted" to the rim and bubbled up in a few places. Ate through the tube. Took about an hour to get the old rim strip off. Anyone ever see something like this?

Me buying the coppertoned version of that huge tandem. We'll have fun, I said.... That rear drum brake doesn't brake well at all even after fine tuning. The front brake barely works because the stoopid rear brake barely works even after fine tuning. It's now hanging in our little barn and hasn't...

I like it.

My 1954 Higgins Deluxe is Bob. My 1952 Luxury Liner is Bob II. (I know, not very original. Maybe a new name will hit me later.) My wife's 1952 Pleasure Liner is Sally.

I plan on being there.

While on a fishing trip when I was a kid, and friend of mine and I rode to a farm pond. Me on my Schwinn World Traveler and him on his Columbia 10 speed. While riding back, he had a hold of a stringer of catfish which dutifully got wrapped up in the front wheel. Had fish guts all over the fork...

Hey All, We will be out in San Diego from June 13 - 20th and was wondering if any fellow Caber's will be getting together during that time. Cant bring a bike on the plane though.

I think we all have stories like that. Makes bike collecting more fun.

Still looking.

Looking for a reflector that goes on the fenders of the Higgins Deluxe. I think that there was a reflector on each fender.

From the looks of the garage floor, he needs the money to buy more cigarettes.

Neat little Western Flyer for sale in Columbus, IN at an antique shop. Still has the rear light mechanism and the turn signal switch. Has been repainted. I almost bought it. Anyone know what it should cost? I'm thinking I'll run over and get it.

Do you have one left?

Any new info on the 12 gauge spoke question?

This Higgins Colorflow is at Knightsbridge Antique mall in Northville, MI. 42305 W Seven Mile Rd. Looks all original down to the Allstate tires. They want $995 for it.

I've had my Peugeot PX 10 since 1983. Bought it as a frameset and built it up with campy components, except for the crankset which is an Ofmega set. Couldnt find a campy bb with French threads.

This is a 1970's Arvin AM radio with reflector and horn that I have had since I got it new when I was about 12. It attaches to the handlebars on each side of the stem. These pictures are from the web as I can't find the radio to take new pictures of it.

Maybe it is CPR for a horse that is mostly dead.

I found an original minus the tank and light for $140.00 Repro tank and light cost me $250. GRAB IT!!!!!

Nice!

The bike in the tornado picture and the one she is riding look like two different models.... There was a mean lady where I grew up in the country that looked like her. So you're in Monorovia..... I grew up in Azalia south of Columbus...

Yayyyy!!! The bike looks good as it is.

Still looking

Ok, this thing is driving me crazy.... I have a posting in the wanted section for a kickstand and headlight (I have the headlight now) for a Luxury Liner. Trying to get a kickstand for my Luxury liner and the ones I have seen cannot possibly fit because of the chainstays. It looks like the...

Any updates?

Thanks for the replies. Doofus me thought that there was only a few specialized suppliers. I found a bunch of sources on Ebay alone.

Hey all, I have been trying to find a source for different colored tires and have not found any. where do you guys find your balloon tires that are different colors? Thanks

Not bike related, but just got this caboose marker lamp. Burns lamp oil and I had it on the deck the other night. Usually sits on the floor with my electric railroad switch lantern.

Kelpie is a nickname from my wife. Also like turtles. Also all reptiles and amphibians..and old bikes.

Not sure. I think the one I saw had shorter "tabs" sticking up. How far apart are they? Can you get an inside measurement?

I'll take it. Pm me your details. Ended up getting a headlight on eBay.

That looks better than the one I have on it. Watcha want for it?

Did you have any luck to see if the 12 gauge spokes work?

Do you have a picture? It's supposed to look like the one I just posted. Thanks,

Here's what the kickstand looks like. I got this picture from a fellow CABER
