Who is going to Haysville? And what are you bringing?

A week or two ago I picked up this pre-war 40-41 steel frame Monark. It had been heavily farmer accessorized, with many non-bicycle accessories. Among the worst IMO, was the large 18-wheel trucker style rear mudflap, attached to the rear drop stand (WTF) that included an original war-era Morse...

Looking for some help and advice! I have this very crusty Monark pie-crust Flo-cycle chain ring I am wanting/needing to have re-chromed for my Flo-cycle project. Before I drill out the rivets to separate the 2 parts I would like to have a plan for re-riveting them back together that will look...

Picked up these two Monark pre-war frames at Haysville this weekend, and as usual I can't make any since out of the serial numbers using the widely inaccurate Monark serial number charts that are floating around. I'm guessing the Flo-Cycle frame number 17838 is probably '36 or 37, and most...

I picked up this fun Delphos Bending Co. "Space Commander Rocket Ship" over the weekend at the Tulsa Flee Market. Had to have it since I'd never seen one before. It was missing the front foot pegs, dash & hand controls/grips. I was able to find a few pictures of some OG Rockets and quickly made...

This is a very large 100 years of Schwinn timeline poster. It is 5 feet long. I've had this poster for years, but never got it framed. Now the walls of my shop are all covered, and I don't have room for it so I'm passing it on for someone else's shop or garage. $20 shipped rolled up in shipping...

Looking for a single Huffy Rail Red Line Right pedal similar to this one shown, Thanks

Not sure what bike these came off of or who made them, but they appear to be TOC to Teens era bars with one only good cork grip. See the pictures for size and condition. $20 Shipping Priority mail CONUS only!

So, I picked up this Lady Sonda at the Knoxville Iowa swap this past weekend. At the time I totally figured it was a restore custom someone did for their daughter or granddaughter in a pink Barbie style, and even though it had some incorrect parts (bars, fender, seat) it was still a good start...

I will be having a huge fall vintage bike and project bike sale to clear room for winter storage. All bikes available for pickup in the South Kansas City area (Spring Hill) and I will be taking as many as I can to the South-Central Iowa (Knoxville) Bicycle swap meet 9/25 and the KC El Torreon...

Looking for a Dyno or Kustom Kruiser men's frame, any color but black would be awesome. With or without other parts like crank/fork/etc. Would need it shipped to KS 66083. Thanks Like this:

NOS Shimano 3 Speed Bicycle Bell Crank N-54. $15 shipped USPS First Class with tracking US 48 Only.

Unknown brand. Newer style. Chrome bolt-on seat post clamp, 31.8mm (1-1/4") ONLY ONE LEFT! $5 shipped USPS First, US 48 only.

Digging more old parts out of the back of the barn and trying to envision a project out of them. My first thoughts were to just create a Monark Rocket Header/Manifold bike like the JC Higgins version. I have actually seen a few pictures of real Monark built Manifold bikes and would...

This is a real nice pair of original made in USA Schwinn Studded Balloon white wall tires 26" x 2.125". These tires originally came on the Schwinn Cruiser, Cruiser 5, Spitfire 5, Klunker 5 but will fit any S2 or balloon tire bike. These were removed from a '49 Schwinn that was restored back in...

There is an X 53 at auction nearby me. I'm not very versed on these, what's it worth? It looks to be mostly there. Of course, the rare headlight is missing. also pedals look like a replace, and frame looks like it could be a repaint. Thanks

This build will probably ruffle a few Monark purest feathers. So, to start out, yes, it is going to be a franken bike, no it is not intended to be original or correct. It is a custom just for fun. The accumulation of parts to build this bike was not intentional, they just showed up in the barn...

This is a real nice men's Schwinn Sweetheart 26 tooth, skip tooth chain ring taken off a '49 Schwinn. Chrome is in real good condition. $50 shipped USPS Priority US 48. Other areas ask for shipping quote. Paypal.

I have been organizing/cleaning the shop and came across a stack of old CABE newsletters from late '94- late '95, along with a few Bike Shopper, Selector, & lots of loose adds. I got from a friend several years ago that was a collector/historian back in the 90's. There are even a couple of...

I have a couple of pair of New Belguim Fat Tire Beer script tread tires. These came on some of the Electra 2004 Fat Tire Beer giveaway bikes and were also sold through Electra & New Belgium. The tires feature large script New Belgium Brewing Company Fat Tire Amber Ale lettering as the tread...

Looking for a single Monark post war black grip like this one. Also, any color complete pairs. Paypal ready!

I'm looking for a nice Girls Schwinn cloverleaf skip tooth chain ring/sprocket like one pictured below. I have a real nice men's Sweetheart I will trade straight up for one of comparable quality. Or cash if nothing for trade. I have this men's Sweetheart 26 skip tooth to trade.

These kickstands are probably Schwinn repops from the late 90's era. The longer stand is 10" from bend to bend and matches the kickstand length and bend of my older late 60's- early 70's Stingrays. I'm guessing they might be from the Black Friday bike stock. The shorter stand is 8 1/2" - 9" bend...

This is a group of older NOS Blue Diamond repop Pedal car parts. I prefer to sell the whole lot for one low price of $175 shipped US 48. That is only about $5 per item, plus shipping of about $35. Paypal preferred F&F or add the 3% fees. Everything pictured is included, check the pictures...

Traditionally for the last 8-10 years or so I try to build a bike in a day on New Year's Day out of whatever I have hanging around the shop. Because it is usually cold here in Kansas on Jan 1st. I have to build something that doesn't require getting painted or soaking. So, for this year's...

I have a few single orphan grips that need to find a mate. I am interested in trading straight up or combination of any of my singles shown below for a single black Monark grip (like shown below). We each just pay the shipping to the other. Also, would sell cheap outright if anyone needs one...

Next up on the project block in the shop is this green Monark Rocket. I'm not sure the year yet until I get it on the stand and check the serial number but based on the chain guard, I'd guess around 1950 (give or take a year). Came in parts as seen, with a few things missing but more than...

Well, if you are like me you probably hate this reflective tape when you find it on an old original paint bike because it's almost impossible to get off. But, how cool is an original unopened box of the Lite-A-Bike Safety Program of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars for your display collection. Box...

This project didn't really start out as a racer/roadster/board tracker style bike, but it just kinda has evolved that way! It started when a fellow CABE'er had a Monark Rocket for sale or to part out. I was first just interested in the tank & possibly the chain guard and rear rack because I...

I got the 1917 Deluxe Flyer out yesterday for the Tweed Ride KC. It was a great day for a stylish ride. Here are a few pictures.

Again this year the Buddy Pedal Fest will includes a Vintage Bicycle Show, a Bicycle Swap Meet. Bike games, bicycle races, music and more. Saturday Sept. 18th 10am - 5 pm at Retro on the Rails in the Historic Train Depot, Pleasant Hill, MO...

Introducing my new girl, now more fraternal twins in the family. '49 Monark & Firestone with matching colors, but not Identical twins! My Monark Deluxe Edition Rocket is happy too!

I currently have 23 Monarks, 15 of them are the 2nd generation Rocket style frames ranging from 1940 - the mid/late 50's but I have never ran across this tank graphic before. does anyone know the general time frame it was used, or happen to have a picture of a complete bike with this graphic on...

How do you all store your loose bicycle tires? I just spent all day cleaning and organizing my barn/warehouse/bike storage area. Tires look a lot better than they did before when they were piled and thrown everywhere, but I'm still not happy with it. Lets see some pictures of better ways to...

This project started a couple years ago when a good friend found this barn find 1940 Monark Airman back in Illinois somewhere. He brought it to me to have me straighten the bent front fork and do a full clean and refresh on it for him. It appeared to be setting for quite a while, mostly...

I'm not a big fan of older bikes that have been oiled to bring out the color. How do you get it off? I'm thinking soaking in water and Dawn dishwashing soap, and a mild brush or sponge. Anyone tried this?

I was completely surprised and very fortunate to have found and been able to purchase this tank at the 35th Annual Midwest Springtime in the Ozarks Bicycle Swapmeet in Springfield, MO. The swapmeet takes place at the Peddlers Bicycle Museum. James Allen is the curator and host of the swap every...

This project started about 7 or 8 years ago when a friend set me up on a lead about a couple of old and very rough Motobikes he knew of. Well, I bought them, and they went on the back burner project list (aka. the back wall of my barn). I knew nothing about this bike or what it was, but was...

I'm not a big fan of restored or resto custom bikes, I prefer originals, but these were both to far gone to save. Actually the men's is basically a frankin' bike. I think the only 2 parts that came from the same bike are the fenders, the rest was just parts I had or found. And, the women's was...

Looking for a Monark Rocket rear reflector or two. Would really like to find a nice one for a restoration project, but also need one for a rider quality bike. I have Paypal cash ready. What have you got?

Well one project sometimes just seems to lead to another. That's the case here. While rehabbing the Ross mtn. bike that belonged to my friend Ed, I mistakenly ordered a set of Surely Extraterrestrial Gravel bike tires that at 2.5" were to fat for the Ross, so I was looking around the barn to see...

I know I'm gonna hate myself when this is done because I have a general rule "No trikes, No tandems" mainly because they are such a pain to store and take up so much room. And this is going to be a worse space hog than either of those. But!!! This was just down the road about an hour and to cool...

Trying to identify this early 80's Ross bike Serial #018476043. I'm a balloon guy so don't know much about these early Mountain bikes. This bike belonged to my best friend back in the 80s-90s. As long as I can remember he was always into road & mountain bikes. He was killed in a car wreck in 97...

I picked up these fenders & rack at an antique store a while back. I am not sure what they came off of, but I have been told this rack style was used on the Murrary Mercury & Elgin's. The fenders are peaked and have early style flat braces. All appear to be OG paint. Some dings dents and...
