Why ride a new one when you can get a nice old one ? If you maintain it it will go forever .

Did some work on this one but not much managed to purchase the correct badge for it .

What is the brake setup on this bike and where can I get one ? cool looking klunker

Rode around the lake today on the green bomb shot a couple of pictures . 1 I'm sending out to dnc God save the King Shot at the skate park Some wildlife I was standing about 2 feet away lots of ducks and geese and other waterfowl in the park also lots of poop. Percussion man And last...

Cleaned em up tuned em up aired them up and touched up the paint on the red one . Red one is a 1950 Massey Sunshine White and black one is a 1930s Zenith They were ratrod bikes contest bikes white one I think was 16th or 18th out of 60 some bikes I can't remember 2 years ago and red one was...

ratrodbikes.com and there are no prizes not even a participation ribbon just your finished bike. That's your prize .

Hot and windy here today but had to get some shots of my finished ratrod build off bike before tomorrows deadline . 1937 CCM motor bike not really a rat more of a custom . Don't know what the plants in the background are but they are cool looking . Wish I lived where triple3 lives 🙂

You can order the ends off of eBay they come from England but the shipping to me in Canada was cheaper than I could have got if they shipped from the US . you can also make them from old ten speed brake parts but they won't be as long . Just look up sturmy archer brake parts .

Finished shot could not edit original post Thanks for all the likes

Started working on this on the weekend my entry in the ratrod bikes build off. 1937 CCM will be finished tomorrow fingers crossed. Just finished painting it today . Will edit in a finished pic later.

Shouda called the cops he's just going to go steal someone else's stuff and maybe they won't get lucky and get it back.

You can put 700x50 on but you have to mod the forks a little and ditch the fenders

20 will make a big difference and I think there are 22 tooths out there Bike in my avatar is a 33 Delivery That I just picked up a rear rack with stand for . It Has Gibson pedals and also has a real nice set of old ridable tires . I had a 30s CCM Columbia as well . The delivery is an old...

Dyno Hub on the front should have a date on it . Hercules are hard to date . Nice to see you posted the serial number as it will help others date their bikes .

In Canada if you trust the person you are dealing with you just use Interac or e banking . very small fee money comes from your bank and goes to your bank instantly no waiting . I don't think you can use it cross border though which is too bad . I have not had much faith in PayPal since I...

I guess its yesterday now but put the finishing touches on this ladies 1937 CCM not an original colour but this is what she wanted . Turned out pretty nice . Had the original Vulcanised rubber seat for it but went with a more comfortable modern saddle . This is a very tall bike for a tall girl...

What is that shiney stuff all over it ? Looks like it has a coating applied to the leather .

That's some nice 4 digit yard art you have there good score

You are turning your bike into a WW2 German buzz bomb

Saw a modern version of that lock with built in alarm

Out on the green bomb hit the bike path . Bike now has full security package chain and lock weigh about as much as the bike . Also sporting New York style seat theft deterrent. This stuff will only slow them down or maybe they'll walk away .

Spray glue available at fabric and upholstery shops would work good on that stuff and would still be easy to remove it . I bought some fabric handle bar wrap from France that was sticky it was really tough almost couldn't cut it with a sharp knife .

Nice set of Gibson pedals will cleanup well rubber is in good shape $220 US . shipped

These were used on CCM Westfield Columbia and Indians from the twenties . They are original and complete and in very nice condition . Nicest ones I've seen here in a while Pictures do not do them justice like I said before they will clean up really nice

My Glacier has melted and my lake is drying up so was out on the green bomb today Also saw a cool car Studebaker Silver Hawk . Thinking of you Nashman the Snow and rain missed us this time hope you guys are ok in Winnipeg saw it on the news looked pretty bad .

700X38 700X40 C 622 ERTO Electra makes a nice not to expensive tire in this size in cream or black for there Amsterdam model . looks good on old bikes does not have reflective side walls or coloured writing . Also is a nice rolling tire .

Rode no bike today old man winter came back with a vengeance and supposed to get worse .😭🤬

For sale 1930's Persons saddle in very nice condition Oil cloth border is ruff but stitching is very intact Also any rust you see on this is light will probably wipe off with a little WD-40 I have made very little effort to clean this pretty much just wiped the dust off. Previous owner said...

Quick ride before dark to try out Electra Amsterdam bars . Like them right height and width . Just have to get my rectifier for my light working so the strobing doesn't freak out all the neighbourhood dogs .

Now with added bonus item Wald no.3 stem off the same bike the seat came off of . This is a limited time offer

One last bump I think price is fair if it doesn't go I have a spot for it

Took a scenic shot today the DX by a beautiful snow covered glacier by the lake in front of my house .

Road tested this today finished it a while ago just needed a few adjustments no nice landscape shots still just puddles and dirty snow to look at right now . Temp was about +5 or 6 cool but nice to be back on the road . Cool moustache bars but a little close to my knees think I will swap them...

I agree Steve the Brooks I put on is a Tan coloured B-135 Might just have to hold on to this seat and put it on something else .

Sure looks like it and some other guys have chimed in the same thing . Have to post a pic of what I did to it I like it because it's bigger and fits me . More of a resto mod going to be a great cruiser . I have bikes I can use the seat on I just thought someone might have the right bike for it...

Best I can do right now silver wire is where the head badge screw holes are .

Here's a picture of the bike it was on no head badge so don't exactly no what it is . Bought it for the frame it's an 8 speed cruiser now with drum brakes and a Brooks b-135 saddle .

Somebody buy this thing before I change my mind

Took the DX for a shakedown cruise after installing paperboy rack still a little wet and icy around here . Bought nice wire basket at a garage sale a couple of years ago works perfect in the paperboy basket and also fit perfect in the basket for my 1933 CCM delivery bike . Will be great for...

I read somewhere that the aluminum and steel have a chemical reaction and that ammonia will break the the bond . I have blocked all the holes and filled the steer tube with it and seemed to work but also used heat as well . Could be bullcrap but worked for me a couple of times . I would try...

Brewar say's ta la at the end of wheeler dealers. And if you want to hear some stellar beatnik talk go to Beverly Hillbillies on YouTube and find the episode called cool school . For some reason the episode where the beatniks want to smoke Granny's crawdads is impossible to find . Jethro uses...

Nice to see one with a head badge always gets me that the pin stripes and paint are in such great shape . I would snap that up if I was close I have a real nice Wheelset that would be perfect also bars stem and pedals . Chainguard too except its red. Would bet that with 2 bikes showing the same...

The trunk is the trunk the rear deck lid is the trunk lid . People just call it the trunk . Sorry just what I think is the answer 🙂 Please don't scold me

Just thought I would ad this put the front fork clamp on today and chrome came off like a piece of ribbon . Still functions but got ahold of practicalcycles told them my problem they said it could have been a bad fit or over tightening . Then sent an immediate refund . Will buy from them again...

Also would like to know what bikes this saddle came on . Have not been able to find a picture of another tan coloured one like this on here or anywhere else .

After looking at mrg's post thought I would add this pic of a buffalo by local artist .

Thought about this after my last post and confirmed it today after talking to my friend at my local bike shop . If you are going to have a fork threaded at a bike shop they have to have the proper tool to make Italian threads . Not all threads are the same American French Italian all...

Like sworly said too long is an easy fix get them to put some extra threads on at the bike shop and cut it to size . I have had to do that several times when a girls bike fork was the only thing available as a replacement .

Archie think you are right about Rollfast don't think it was 28 '' wheels though very wide forks and chain stays . But I could be wrong . Headtube is 5 inches top of race to bottom of race so yes 4 1/4. Seat and stem also suggest 1930's. thanks for your input . Bike is going to be a resto mod...

Got this today no badge serial number is R 1 8982 New Departure hubs Persons saddle If Its a repaint its a good one Has real cool fenders and Goodyear tires are in amazing condition
