Looking for a good used New Departure front drum brake lever and cable. Good used shape or restored. Doesn't need to be show worthy. Let me know what you have. Thanks
I'm in search of the correct chainstay mounted cable stop for a lever operated Bendix 2 speed, also for the clips that hold the housing to the frame for a 50s Schwinn Phantom. Photos are reference from another bike. Chainstay dia approx 3/4" and downtube is 1". Looking for two clips for...

We're scheduled for Saturday Oct 12. Still finalizing times. Trying to have a live band in the mix. Ill post on the boards when we finalize everything. Antietam Brewery, Hagerstown MD is the location.
We're looking at hosting a bike swap at a local microbrewery in Hagerstown MD in the fall (Sept-Oct)
Were trying to decide on a date (Saturdays preferred) without a regional conflict as far as swap or related events. It would be after Bicycle Heavens swap but before Trexlertown (if that...
That was just the story that was passed on to me. That was 10 years ago now. I rebuilt the rear hub and plan to install a headbadge that he bought for the bike. Just need to drill/tap one of the headbadge holes. Cool old bike but it has been re-welded at the seatube/BB junction. I think...
Just looking for any info or speculation of the year on this OG condition Iver Johnson. A friend of mine apparently got it from the widow of the OG owner who rode it to work for years in my area.
Porkchop sells some by the foot that looks pretty decent, a little darker than OG:

Looking for some detail pics or at least a description of the correct type of pins that should be used on a spring/sissybar on a 69 Sears Screamer. Also looking for 1 spring cap to replace the makeshift washer in photo.
Thanks for any insight
Resurrecting a thread. Is there any references on paint colors/codes. I plan on repainting this bike mainly red with black darts and accents and probably pin striped in white or silver. Just trying to have a starting point for the red color that I use.
What are the chances of finding pedals like these in 9/16 shaft in a 3.5" width size? Either OG or repro? These are Torringtons but any similar style or brand would do. Looking for some stylish pedals for my Fiance's highwheeler...
WTB Delta Horn button for tank style horn. 50's era. OG whitewall tires 26 x 2.125
Looking for an original horn push button for a delta tank horn. Its from a 50's era Schwinn Starlet. Any help appreciated.
Also interested in OG whitewall tires to fit the same bike. I'd prefer good used...
Rooms are still available. What is the actual start time, swap space fee etc.? This swap is pretty under the radar as far as internet info is concerned.
Resurrecting an old thread to check on the short rear stems on these tandems. I have a Colson Tandem and the traditionally mounted stem seems to be too close to the forward rider's saddle, and if you swing it around backwards the bars seem too low and it steers awkwardly. I'd like to find a...
I think I'd like to find a shorty stem for the rear, like this bike has on it.
Also, I think I'm going to try to locate a fork that is in better condition and has the correct strut braces. If anyone knows of anything let me know
Wondering if there was any special shorty stems made for the rear handlebars. Sharper turns get kind or awkward with the reverse stem on the rear.
Are the headbadge screws specialty screws or could I find new ones that would fit/look correct?
Also located a ND two speed setup that...
Done some work and located a few pieces:
New tires and rims. O'hauled hubs. found a headbadge
Still would like to find one of the original type drop stands (double wide), some OG headbadge screws, and any info on saddle resto. I have the original seats/pans.
After looking at some other tandem photos, I'm not sure that this is the original fork. Most photos show the longer bowed truss rods. Any insight appreciated, just trying to iron the incorrect/missing items before I eventually repaint it. Are there any Colson Tandem Gurus?
Do the cables come in a 60" length?
Do the shoes vary between any years or models? I assumed they were all the same.
PM me if you need any specifics. Thanks
Looking for a new set of brake shoes for this hub and maybe a good used cable to save a few bucks from an NOS one.
Recently rebuilt the hub and it seems to have a lot of slop before brakes engage so I assume the shoes are pretty worn.
Looking for some parts and info for an eventual restoration of a '39 Colson Tandem:
Parts needed: correct headbadge, drop stand, rear reflector, ND 2 speed conversion? OG fork struts
Info: Any original photographs showing original paint schemes, wondering what tires would have come on...
here a couple other angles
The forks were pretty hammered at one point. I heated and straightened the steer tube. Looks like theyre still bent back a bit.
I recently purchased a '39 Colson Tandem, which I plan to eventually restore and continue riding. I'm just trying to get some of the little things fixed, locate parts etc.
Trying to find a correct headbadge, and having trouble finding axle nuts that thread properly on the New Departure front...
Looking to buy a New Departure 2 speed kit for coaster hub model D. Skiptooth. I have the hub so mainly need the driver/cog/axle/cable/lever. Doesn't need to be show quality but fairly complete and functioning. I saw a few kits sell here before so I figured it's worth a shot.
Email to...
Recently acquired this for my girlfriend. Seems that its only missing the headlight. Looking for any additional info as I haven't seen any exactly like it on the web. Chrome rims and fenders and the striped seat. I think they were only made a few years.
WTB: RH pedal or rubber insert...
Worth it for the white Aerial Levers!
I've done a couple Trick Stars, including an ITW a few years ago.
