Looking for a tank for a thirties Cadillac, chrome was original but I'll take a painted one if that's what is available.

It's a '30s Shelby (at least the frame is). It seems like it must have belonged to someone on here?

Looking for a early Airflo peanut tank. As long as it's in at least restorable condition, I'd be interested.

I have a handful of good hubs that I doubt I'll ever use. If you're looking for a hub to match the date of your 30/40s era frame, let me know and I'll see if I have it. See my older revived thread for details.

First a 1942 CWC Western Flyer badged "Romel's Rod". And secondly, a 1938 Elgin Bluebird "Warbird".

I have a complete 2 speed setup from the shifter to the trans. I took it off of a daily rider. It has the early one piece barrel, and the exposed style axle plunger. The good thing about the early style is if you ever break the actuator, the Shimano 3 speed actuator works on it and is available...

Morrow hub sale I've got various date code hubs from 1934 through 1944 that I have and really don't need. I've gone through all of them, cleaned them and replaced anything that was broken or too badly worn. Each hub is complete, not including axle nuts. I have a few sets that will go with the...

I searched the forums and the net and couldn't find any procedures for lacing a lady's rear fender. So, after asking for suggestions a while back, I finally got to the point in my '36 girl's Roadmaster project where I needed to tackle the lacing. So, in about 45 minutes, I did it. It wasn't as...

Hello everyone, I've been working with ND for so long that I never took the time to learn how to work on Morrow hubs! I've got one all apart, I've replaced anything questionable, but I need assistance getting it set up and adjusted. I have a diagram of the parts, but it's the assembly help I...

I searched the forums and the web, but I haven't found a place that shows any illustrations of the patterns used to re-tie/restore the twine use on prewar girl's rear fender skirt guards. I've seen straight laced, spider web, zig-zag, but if anyone has a pattern or a tutorial on the actual...

Ok kids, today's lesson is on safety. Most have been at the point in your restoration when you have a wheel with spokes so rusty that you have to cut them out. So you're standing at your workbench, nipping the spokes one by one. Here's the lesson. Rear hubs are fairly heavy, so when you're...

Actually all I need is a decent sprocket, but if you have other parts, let me know. Parts need to be for '36 model.

I have NOS later version cables, what could or should be considererd a NOS early cable, a later version barrel, a new Shimano actuator that will work with the earlier cable/barrel, a NOS blacked out pulley and a chrome pulley, NOS later version drivers, a later sprocket with the spiders, and a...

I have a newer Whizzer motor kit that I want to put in a prewar frame, and I want to preserve the prewar look of the bike as much as possible. The engine itself isn't too different, but things like the modern twist grips and controls don't really work with what I'm trying to do. Anyone have a...

Check it out!

Hard proof, friends, that crack is a dangerous drug. Kids, you just have to be strong, and say no. It warps your sense of reality- especially when it comes to how much you think a repainted girl's bike is worth. Denial. Intervention time. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/897388074.html...

I wanted to buy a bike from someone who thinks it's too much trouble to ship it out of state. It would be great to find a good person that could help get a shipping box from a local bike shop and just drop it in. I can handle the FedEx pickup. I know it's a lot to ask of someone but I thought...

New Departure DD adjustment and parts wanted Since there is no cone to adjust, does anyone know what the correct method for adjusting the play/tension is for the DD(2 speed) hub? Does anyone have a scan of the manual for the DD they'd want to share?

I need it not to be blue, not a girl's version, with braces, with the reflector if possible, but not manditory. Thanks to anyone who can help me out with this...

Id like to find a complete set of parts to convert a ND coaster to a 2 speed- hub clutch/shifter/idler wheel/cable. I don't need perfect chrome, weathered is fine. If you don't have all the pieces, let me know what you have.

I need one chrome double drop rim, or a pair of triple drop 24" rims. I also need one 26" double drop chrome rim. The chrome doesn't have to be like new, just in decent shape. Let me know what ya got.

Since many of us have asked, and many of us has now or maybe had in the past a CWC built Roadmaster, I think it's time to start a List. If a picture/serial number list could be started and updated with new entries including frame characteristics, I think we over time could rebuild a serial...

This license plate is rarer than the bike itself. I'd almost buy the bike just to have the plate for historical value.

mine are about done. anyone have a set of blocks just laying around that they would part with?

Does anyone have a front shell with good chrome just laying around?

Anyone have an extra pedal laying around? All I need is the pedal block carrier (the part you see on the end, that the two little nuts that hold it all together attach to) It doesnt matter what side as long as its for a mens size pedal.

I have a prewar drop-center rim, a blackwall Typhoon with an original Schwinn Approved tube, front hub and double butted spokes up for grabs(remember, everything is for a 24" wheel). I just needed the nipples, so everything else is up for grabs. I have new generic nipples if you want them. Make...

Does anyone have a few rear hubs laying around that they don't think they'll ever need? I need 1 or 2 oiler caps, a few locking nuts, and a few outer axle nuts. If you only have a complete hub that you want to sell, I might consider that too, although I mainly need just those parts...

Here's an Airflo frame with the seat post sawed off flush with the frame clamp. Ive been soaking it for the last few days with penatrant. What now?:confused:

I need almost everything, really. Fenders with curved braces, rear rack, chainguard, rear dropstand, etc. Let me know what you have and maybe we can make a deal!

Does anyone have any tried and true methods for freeing a stuck gooseneck from and old bike that's been sitting outside for the last 60 years? I'd really like to save everything, but if I have to saw off the neck and just trash the fork/neck that would be a bummer, but I'm hoping someone has a...

Does anyone know the history or era of Torrington pedal when they used blocks made of wood, not the usual black rubber? I picked up what I thought was a late '40s Western Flyer, but it came with the wooden blocked pedals. It just doesn't seem like they would have been original. Is it possible?

It was a rusted poop-box when I got it, And now she looks like this: She still needs a few finishing touches like painting the gills on the tank and pin striping the wheels, and adding the front light and probably a rear carrier, but I'm happy with my new ride. There aren't too many 67 year...

I doesn't have to be perfect, just servicable and complete.

I cant seem to find frame & fender stencils anywhere. Any help?:confused:

I need 24 3/4", 80 gauge used nipples to complete a set so I can build my wheel. They are to replace the ones that came off a prewar roadmaster with Torrington spokes. I've got the spokes, I just need to replace some nipples. NOS are out there, but I don't need a whole set, and I'd prefer that...

4 or 3 gill Tank for '39-41 Roadmaster wanted I'll take almost any condition. If you don't know what I mean by gills, it has 3 or 4 louvers along the leading edge of the tank.

I can use a late '40s/early '50s headbadge if I have to, but the rest is for '40-'41 26" boys. Tank, truss rods, rack, fenders, chainguard,... Let me know what you have! :)
