Found a bulldog brand kickstand on a Raleigh Colt that I'm wrapping up to send to it's new owner. Anyone heard of them? Google was unhelpful.

Someone was selling some awhile back, and I couldn't locate the sale thread. Anyone help me, please?

Okay... I did look first, but... Does anyone know what the official size designation for the tiny light bulbs that go in the delta lights, rocket lights, Seiss lights, tank lights, etc is?

Like this. Mounts under the bar, not through. Thank you!

Does anyone know who made this bike? I like the way it's made.

Picked this up with a schwinn hornet that was my actual target. It's got a sturmey archer multi gear internal hub on the back. All the parts are there, and I'll include the rack it came with. $80 + shipping. If you'd like more pictures, or a specific part off it, let me know. It's not really old...

Bought some Craig's list bikes. Make off with three multi speeds. Two with multi gear hubs, one huffy with a cassette, and one ladies' shchwinn hornet of paint, and truss rods. Chrome on the bars is shot, but I'm okay with that. The paint is nice, and the rack's on it. Only thing missing is the...

I'm trying go to service my komet super coaster brake, and I can't get the dust cover in the driver out. I know something is off, because the ball bearings came out, but it won't budge. Did the screwdriver like they said and all. Spent an hour and all I got was a blister for my trouble.

An older gentleman who works maintenance at the local assisted living apartments is working on an old tricycle he got for $20. Any thoughts, help, suggestions?

From NOS box of sturmey archer hub rollers. $7 per set shipped.

I'm selling one perry england wrench, and two larger, unmarked wrenches. Original owner filed the ends thinner on the bigger ones to fit tight spaces. $7 each shipped, or trade for other cool tools I don't have. I edited the post to help with confusion. Sorry, y'all. Perry wrench: sold I only...

The chain on my 50's higgins is an OCM, and I'm hunting a period correct chain. It's a single speed. Thanks, y'all.

Guy on Craig's list says he's selling a bicycle motor for $150 obo, so I go see what he's got. Yeah... Okay. Do not want.

I was driving around after work and saw this bike leaning against a house, so I stopped to find an owner. This belonged to his dad. It's a tornado from the chain guard. Apparently it survived hurricane Katrina, and then started rusting. I told him I can get it running. He thinks it'll be a...

I want to buy this bike for a friend who needs a trike for medical reasons. If I buy this, will someone pickup and ship for me? I can reimburse travel, packing/shipping, and pain in the butt. It's a vintage Montgomery-Ward. If anyone has an alternative I'd love to hear all about it...

Why am I so short? stupid phone! Didn't put the link! http://gulfport.craigslist.org/bik/4318631569.html

About to start the rebuild on this ross banshee for my daughter. She wants it in pink and purple.

The inner hardware would be great, but a picture of what the insides look like would rock too.

Wasn't someone looking for some of those? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SALE-Prewar-Torrington-10-Red-26-Mens-Bicycle-Pedal-Blocks-Schwinn-Shelby-/371013857645?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item566226316d

My flightliner is in, and the front wheel has a problem... The last rider rode it with the front hub falling apart. It ground up the axle and busted two spokes. Anyone know which kind of hub and axle it used, or have a set they'd part with?

The handlebars on the 50's higgins I got have what looks like brass or copper under the plating in two spots. What can I do to keep the plating that's left and make them look as nice as possible? I tried one thing from a local car shop, but it didn't do anything. I'd have gotten simichrome or...

All the parts of the bike are in. Now to see how well I can clean the first pieces up. The rack, and tank.

Seat pans, Most of the 50's Higgins I ordered, old schwinn pedals, and a bunch of bicycle tools. Coincidentally, the coaster is a perry england, and four of the wrenches are perry. Lucky me.

Are the perry coaster brake hubs hard to service? The 50's higgins I just bought has one on the rear wheel.

My 1950's JC Higgins bicycle arrived today with holes in the box, the kickstand sticking out of one of them, and... No handlebars or truss rods. It was home before me, but the holes were taped over, so I knew they weren't on the porch break in attempts. I called fedex, messaged the seller...

Anyone own a nissan sentra 4-door sized car who has an awesome bike rack? I'm looking for advice.

I'm hunting a rear rack for my flightliner. My bike is blue and white. I've gotten some reference pictures from google. If you can part with one, I'd be grateful. If it's not perfect or not blue it's okay.

I bought this for me, but Patty had one just like it as a kid, and I've been warned she'll think it's for her. Anyone have one like it they'll sell me for around $200, please? Don't want to lose my bike!

I'm working on taking my $3 antique store saddle apart without damaging it. Does anyone know how to get the clips that hold the bottom of the saddle pan off so I can remove the top padding and fabric? I need to derust and clean the metal parts, but I don't want to soak the fabric bits. ... And I...

I posted this video, and pictures of two of my chains in the restoration forum, but I'll but the video here too. That way no one misses it. http://youtu.be/-9voIF29ZrA

This is is how to remove a vintage master link that is the older spring steel type. They have no clips holding the plate on. They are held on by the pins being slightly wider than the cover plate's holes. The plate fits into the grooves in the pins and locks it into position. I also discuss how...

Can anyone tell me which western flyer model this is please?

I got this at an antique shop for a friend. I paid $80 for it. They originally wanted $120. It has a bmx handlebar and stem. The front tire is the original tire, and the back has been changed over to a mountain bike tire. Any thoughts? Oh, it's for a lady, but she's very tall.

My local antique shop has a takara road bike, and I'm wondering how old it is? The code is 79 06 31642 it's on the opposite side from the front gear cassette. It has suntour brakes and shifters.

This is the bike I put together for Patty. She needed a short bike, and this was an ebay find with all parts, but wheels and seat. I got a seat and wheels for free from a neighbor with a defunct Wally World special. I'm pleased how the clean up on the original paint came out.

My 1983 Murray has a master link that is shaped like the rest, and pops off when flexed. This is the master link on the two bikes I got for my mom and Patty. They also pop open when flexed. I can't find any useful information online about the age of the different styles of master links. Do any...

Made her a seat, because she wanted one really bad. Modeled it after one I saw on a Dutch bike site from holland. I used split ring pipe hangers rated to hold 180 lbs. I padded between the split rings and frame with pipe foam to protect my frame from damage. I picked a threaded rod the right...

I found this on a shelf outside a local antique shop. They were using it for a decoration ...okay. So I got it for three dollars. Can anyone help me identify it? It has no visible maker marks, and the padding is layers of burlap and a cotton felt material. It doesn't look quite like any I've...

This is a 1952 or 1957 Schwinn out of Chicago. Can anyone help me figure out which type it was?

I'm putting a banana seat and sissy bar on the western flyer my mom got for Christmas. I've looked online, but couldn't find instructions on how to measure the bicycle for a sissy bar. Anyone have any advice? I want to get the right one.
