Hey all, I got my hands on a Morrow hub a while back. Never had one apart before but wanted to check the bearings and races. Everything looks good but curious about the brake shoe. Is this one okay? I think I read somewhere that they were smooth originally, then they added groves later on...

Hello Cabers, Can anyone tell me what saddle this chassis is from? The loops in the back are too close together to mount the springs directly to them. The springs end up being all contorted and pulled inward. Any help is appreciated. Comparing to one of my other seats, you can see how...

Hey Cabers, I bought this bike about six years ago but didn't have room in my garage for another bike at the time, so I put it up in the loft. I finally pulled it down yesterday and opened the box to see what I've got! :D I also have a set of rims that I may end up using. Not sure on those...

Hey all, I have a Musselman hub and just trying to make sure it is all good before I lace it up. The small bearing is broken and needs to be replaced. The larger ones look okay but I would still like to inspect the races. Questions: Are there modern replacement bearings that will work and if...

I believe this bike is a 1941 BA307-1. Lobdell rims are in descent condition with some minor pitting. The tank is correct but is not original to the bike and the color is a little off. The fenders have a few scratches but are nearly pristine. There is one dent in the rear fender which I'm...

Thought you all might like to see a few pics of my newest old bike. :D It has some kind of thingie to make the rear light come on when you hit the brakes. I tried to show this in the last two pics. Supposedly all of the parts are there but it is not working right now. I was wondering if...

Hey all, I’m pretty sure this bike is owned by a caber. Would anyone by chance, happen to have any Shelby literature that shows this model. I’ve been searching for pics of Shelby’s but haven’t found any bikes with the same accessories. Is it a Shelby Super Deluxe? Shelby Supreme? Or...

If anyone who is going happens to have some grips you can sell me at the event that would be great! I know this is kind of short notice. I posted in the Shelby Invasion thread hoping someone who is going might see my post there. This is the bike I will be riding. I'm not sure what type...

Hi guys, As the title says, I have a New Departure Model D hub that sticks after I pedal hard and wants to keep pulling the crank around with it. If I put back pressure on it to stop it, then it pops pretty loud. After that, the brake works okay. It just seems to be sticking. Can anyone...

I picked up a 1950(ish) Shelby a while back. Last weekend I pulled the crank out to it and clean and re-grease the bearings. While I had it out, I noticed that the sprocket was kind of loose and rattling around on the crank. But the inner cone was bottomed out on the thread and would not go...

Hey all, I have a late 30's Colson Flyer that has been stripped. It is the same frame as this bike: http://www.clunkers.net/colson/colson.html I would like to repaint it in red and black like the bike below. Does anyone happen to have stencils for the darts and chain guard? Or if you...

Hi all, I have been looking high and low for a chain guard like this one. I'm hoping one of you CABE guru's can help me out. :D BTW, I believe this bike belongs to a member here on the CABE. Hope you don't mind me borrowing your pic. :D Thanks in advance!

Just curious, if there is more than on pitch size? I guess I assumed they were all 1". The reason I ask is I put a bike together last weekend from some parts I had and noticed that the chain was climbing up on the teeth of the sprocket, binding and making all kinds of popping sounds. I...

Hey All, I’m sure many of you have seen this bike before. It is on the Monark Forks website. I was hoping someone could tell me what kind of bike that frame is? I have a Shelby frame that is very similar but not exactly the same. The difference is the short extension of the top bar behind...
