I have a 52" highwheel bicycle made by Columbia. It is missing the brake level with mounting bracket. If you have the level with the mounting bracket or without please contact PM me. Thanks again my fellow CABERS! Sped Man

That was someone on the CABE that sold wooden Shelby Speedline or HIawatha Arrow tanks made out of wood. I was wondering if anyone has one for sale. If you do or know where I can get one PM me with details. Sped Man

NIce job putting it together. Are you planning on painting it or leaving as is? This make it how many Alexander Paris bikes you currently own? I own one as you may know and I love it. Bigger wheels are a good idea. I have tall wide tires on mine. Looks like a prototype Alexander Paris...

IF you have a project Wingbar or Flocycle or just the frames please contact me with photos and prices. Thanks Sped Man

I can't believe no one has mentioned our fellow CABE members whose creativity blessed us all with some of the coolest modern accessories of all. Here is a small sample.

My favorite bicycle part was found in the rubbles of Berlin during WWII according to the PO. It is a German all aluminum air pump that mounts to the frame.

My new years purchase. It is a Blickensderfer no. 6.

Hell I live in Chicago, it is a requirement. If you are a law abiding citizen it must be hidden and you can only carry 15 rounds. IF you violate the law it will cost you everything you have to stay out of jail. If you are a criminal magazine capacity doesn't matter as long as you don't kill...

Custom plates are the only way to go ;-)

Here my old Columbia ;-)

Does walking it back home count? I rode it about 75-80 miles then had a flat once again. This time I forgot to bring along another inner tube. So guess what I had to do? This is the bad boy that got me walking the last 20 miles late at night. I did get a lot of compliments while cruising through...

Here is another example of an Alexander Paris Texas bicycle. I went with the pulled back handlebars, shown in the first photo.

This is how I got it.

One year later.

Before: After:

As a dad I always wanted a Schwinn Krate. Guess what I gave my three boys???????? My dad was always crazy about Schwinn Phantoms. He couldn't believe his eyes when I brought one home.

PM sent.

I am looking for a 28 inch rear wheel with a three speed hub in working condition. Let me know what you have just PM me

Looks like there is nothing good on Ebay, Offer Up, Facebook Market Place, The CABE, or Craigslist. I have been looking for months. What has happened to all the cool bikes? All I see on those sites is bicycles I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. When a decent bike pops up the price is through...

I am looking for a Star high wheel bicycle around the Chicagoland area. If you have one for sale or are thinking of selling your please PM me to let me know. Sped Man

Nice fine. I picked up one years ago from a fellow CABE member. Love the bike. Mines was pretty much like yours. It needed everything ;) Would I sell it today? Nope. Yours apparently crashed into something that caused the front fork to bend. Easy fix. If you take your time you can turn this bad...

I rode this bad boy around Chicago for a few minutes. Use to own two of them years ago. Sold them while they were still in the box. People were paying crazy prices for them. I found this one on Offer up. He had it for sale for several weeks with no one pulling the trigger. Apparently the PO...

Picked up two of these years ago. Sold them while they were still in the box. Last week I came upon this one. The seller posted horrible blurry photos of it in his man cave. Can you believe the seller drove this 6 miles to my house to show it to me. The photos didn't do it justice.

This is the third one we have purchased. I sold two still in the box a while back. I found this one on Offerup. He had horrible blurry pictures. Can you believe the seller rode this bike 6 miles to my house!

Located original Sears Chief shifter to replace the rusted out shifter that was broken on the bike.

Installed new shifter.

Heck I keep my bad boy in the garage, chained up of course. To get it out you have to move several cars, deactivate the garage alarm, cameras and avoid the hail of bullets :-)

Why did he keep such an expensive bicycle in his garage? Aren't they selling for over $7K?

Post this on the Shelby forum. I sold mine there within 2 hours. There are a lot of guys looking to restore their Shelbys. They will kill for original parts!

Plasma cutter for those difficult bolts. A Welder for when you make a mistake with the plasma cutter.

Put Bad Chad flexible chrome on it :-)

A fernder is what you put on a kar.

Very nice!

My childhood heroe! The man was awesome!

Looks great! I wish I had one.

Looking for this 3 speed shifter. If you have one for sale please let me know how much shipped to 60647, Chicago.

This one is a work in progress. Got this bad boy last year. Hope to one day have it road worthy. It is a Harley Davidson XLCR. The PO painted it orange. It definitely needs a respray. I am amazed by all the beautiful bikes CABE owners have. We all definitely have good taste.

I always wanted a Harley Davidson FXSTS since the moment they came out. I found my bad boy three years ago. Still in love.

Unfortunately, for me I haven't acquired anything. Prices are through the roof! Lots of junk available but nothing good either. Hopefully things will change.

For me it was this bike. He wanted a small fortune for it and I saw the possibilities. This got me to buy several books on prewar bicycles. That fueled the fire, before I knew it I had 10 of those bikes pictured in those books and parts everywhere. I was like a drug addict needing his weekly fix...
