This is the type of stuff that is important to remember when trying to identify a bike. Just because a part is used by one label, doesn't mean it can't be on numerous others. Seems that many brands will choose certain designs (sprockets for example) and maybe have it in the contract that the...

The Racycle Pacemaker and the Racycle 30t are pending

Yeah, the link must be broke from a forum update, I'm on my phone right now and gonna fix it when I get to my computer

No I don't think it is pope/Westfield. Emblem used that style, but that is the third drive pin location for that design so it may go to some other brand

All of my sprockets are authentic, I don't collect repops and many of the pre 33 sprockets were forged before the design was stamped making them practically impossible to reproduce correctly in modern times. I may sell more than I have listed here, the majority can be seen in my sprocket...

wood bars cork grips still has the gold mfg stamp (Top line - Made in, second line - Plymouth, third line - IND U.S.A.) 3/4" stem diameter 19" bar width 7" pull back 1.5" drop (or rise) 1.125" bar clamp diameter

That one is a Wald. I dont know of any sprockets with a round hole and a slotted hole for the drive peg, that were original equipment.

I am going to use them for a coat hangar. LOL just kidding... or am I? If mine were for sale, they would be more than 50-100 dollars, just saying. Everything has a price, but these aren't really for sale.

Make sure you know the diameter of the stem where it inserts into the fork for your application. I have a set of wood bars with grips, but the stem is too small for my current bikes and the cork grips are glued on, so I cant change the stem.

Can you take the tools out and show what they are? Looks like a chain whip and a thread chaser. Not sure what the rest is. Name brand of the tools may or may not increase the value of the kit.

Search "MV Agusta" They are an Italian company and still produce very fine motorcycles. That is as much as I can tell you about that monomotorcycle... other than I would like to crash, er, I mean ride it.

The upper part of the seat stays look like a loop and two perfectly straight sections to form a tapered wishbone. Is the correct? That may help. When did Mead stop selling bikes?

Ive got a frame and fork. Pm coming

The sprocket was used by the cleveland welding company (CWC) on various name bikes. The bike has alot of interesting features. The dropouts look 60's or later to me. The mead stamp confuses me alot. Forks are similar to 20's mead forks but the oval top caps throw it off. Im thinking it is...

Sprocket collecting and wheel building.

I have the first gen Nexus 7 that I initially bought for a bmx bike I used for MTB racing. Then I laced it into a 26" wheel and it went on a couple cruisers such as a 30's Elgin I also used for MTB racing. I never had a single problem with it, but in deep sand, the sand can get into the roller...

Notice the spokes radiating from the center on the Fauber are more tapered in comparison to the Hawthorne which is more straight. The difference is subtle, but obviously there.

I ran out if money and lost my attempt to win that bike. I would be interested in buying it.

That chainring is mostly used on hawthorne, but I have seen it on other bikes.

There is a repop sprocket on ebay. The seller may know how to find the rest of the repop stuff. Look up bowden sprocket.

Ill take it

I really like the coppertone paint. Great looking bike. When you tear it apart, can you take good detailed photos of the frame joints? They look fillet brazed. What year is the bike, have any idea yet?

Do you by chance have a tow hitch on the car? That would be the best way. When looking at roof racks, pay attention to how the bike mounts, some may not work well with fenders and alot require the front wheel removed which is good for modern bikes but a hassle with old bikes. And the weight...

I would love to have a straight but rusty one. Shiny dont fit my collection.

I want a couple of the skully heads. Whos got em and how much?

Westfield bought the Miami company and all of its badge names. I have a westfield miami badged bike.

I'm thinking those are for the skirt guard.

Are you sure about that? ;)

Nice find, I have never seen that site before.

Alien dood. Look up monark silver king. Its obviously not an aluminum one, but it is monark.

This is cool. A Speed-O-Byke for FREE!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWAKUvKFY2o

I'm pretty sure it is a wald sprocket but havent been able to prove that. I do know that it is a replacement sprocket and never came on a bike as original equipment.

I just took my time and read the document as properly as I can, given the language changes that happen in a hundred years. I think Chris (chitown), has it right. But, I think it can be risky to think that these companies bought exclusivly from AS&Co. I think alot of companies then just like...

yeah, I was going to mount eight white badges to a 20" S-2 rim then put the Corvette badge at the twelve position and the other colored badges at 3,6 and 9, with a sweetheart sprocked in the middle and a WW slick on the rim. Bet it would look cool. I sold the twelve badges to a guy that may...

Bump to the top

Thanks Nick, I have never seen one on a huffman before. I have heard the sprocket referred to as "paisley" a few times.

The mr columbia site has a great ser # dating page. Works for westfield built bikes. As always, there are exceptions, but a great place to start then verify by looking at other similar bikes and catalog pages.

I thought I had it in the sprocket thread, but I just checked and it not there. I will get it posted tonight. That sprocket has four curved oval holes with three triangles on the inside and four triangles on the outside. Has a drive pin hole in the fourth inside space not cut out.

Davis built Dayton bikes.

I have been wanting one for years. It is in my top 5 most desired sprockets.

That would go well with this bike. http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?44515-Tiffany-decides-bicycles-are-too-cheap

I have noticed that most collectors do not keep track of the small details of construction. And when they do, it is mostly the "tins" like tank, fenders, chainguards and racks. Subtle frame differences are usually overlooked. The few guys that do look at the subtle frame differences, stick to...

I believe the sprocket is original or at the very least properly sized for the frame due to the length of straight section of the chainstays near the BB. Also note the fairly sharp S bends of the chainstay to make more room for the 30t sprocket. I can not guarantee any/all of that to be...

Not genuine, but pretty darn neat anyway. Flying Merkel recreation. http://quadcities.craigslist.org/bik/4153254442.html

Excellent post Gary!

Its the sprocket on the left of the first pic. I have been trying to find a badge to associate the sprocket to for months now. I cant find it. I find the sprocket now and again but always on bastardized bikes. I would love to know what the badge name is on the posted bike. Would not...

Where is Patric (Hoofheart)? He may know if it is Davis or not.

I was asking if it could be a repop, due to all the modern parts and how nice the paint is. Did not mean to imply it was a repop. Just mentioned it because I cant tell the difference. Sorry for the confusion.

Already covered that. I think it is one of those setups that you have to risk paint to install and JD does not want to ruin fresh paint.

If you take out a cup, do the non drive side!!! Only way you will be able to reinstall it.
