Todd Morphy and his brother had always been treated to great swap spaces at special savings at Ann Arbor and the Royal Oak swap meet. For whatever reason he decided to scam us out of $900 worth of swap spaces at the Monroe meet and won't even call. He is now sanctioned from the Monroe and Royal...

I found 3 "Acetate"(?) lenses. One says Columbia and STOP. The other two just say "Premier" Great condition but no idea what these were used for. Any one ever seen these? Too big for a bike?

If you are a Whizzer collector then you know how rare this springer fork is. However, this is the only fork that would fit on a 1950's Schwinn Girl's 24" balooner. The Whizzer S-10 is virtually a 24" Schwinn Boy's cantilever frame with a Schwinn Girl's bike head tube for strength. It is...

A few months ago at a flea market I bought a cool hotrod wood carving showing a hotrod in front of a Schwinn dealer's store. I bought it and tracked down the woodcarver from Monroe, Michigan. This 88 year old woodcarver spends his winters in Florida making and hand painting woodcarvings that...
