Can the rack from a girl's Western Flyer X53 be used on a boy's X53 ? I've been looking at a lot of pix, but I'd sure like to know for sure from someone who owns or has worked on one. Thanks for any info.

I picked up this 1951 green Phantom at the flea market on the 4th of July in Howard City Mi. It had no wheels or seat but I had some at home. Cleaned and greased the crank and fork. Fork key was broke off, removed it, and had a new one cut. Hope to find a suitable Phantom seat on the Cabe or at...

I recently acquired a 1953 Schwinn Red Panther--- decent original bike, but the tank is missing. I'd really like to make this bike complete, so if anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

I just received the latest issue of Hog Magazine (volume 46-2018) On page 50, there is an interesting article about H-D bicycles. The original 1917 Model 7-17 Special is being reproduced by Heritage Bicycles of Chicago. It's an informative 4 -page article with some nice pictures. Maybe you can...

I bought this on CL Sunday. Asking price was $200. I got it for $175. Has locking fork (lock missing) ,light is missing from rack , has cool -looking chainguard, and front fender has 2 holes with rubber grommets I assume for running wires. I believe it is a Snyder frame with curved rear fender...

A few years ago, I bought a 1941 BF Goodrich DX at the Portland, IN. meet. It has 2-piece fender braces that overlap and require 3 rivets instead of the usual two.I don't remember ever having these on any bike I've ever had. Did Schwinn or some other manufacturer ever use these 2-piece braces...

I think most people will agree that it's easier to re-cover a double- pan seat as opposed to the single pan variety. I picked up a single pan seat in poor shape and decided to try making an inner pan for it . An empty cereal box was used to make a template of the inner portion of the primary...

I got this for $120. A complete men's model pre-war bike needing only cleaning & greasing. Someone did some painting on it long ago , but it still looks good to me. The old rack came with it and I like how it looks. Serial # C93377

I think this is a 1950 phantom. It looks pretty rough but is in fine mechanical shape and rides real nice.I know the tank is incorrect. What really matters to me is if it is a phantom frame from the factory. I think it is but would appreciate any and all input. Did the B6 model come in this...

This bike came from the Owosso Bike Fest on Aug. 14, 2016. All it needed was cleaning, greasing and all new spokes, which I put on. I think it's a good bike for $125. Serial no. is C53756. I put on an 11 tooth sprocket for easy riding. The seat did not come with the bike. Maybe some of you guys...
