This is Melanie, Steve's wife. I'm selling my Ladies Schwinn Bike from 1948 I think. I just rode it around the block! It has coaster brakes and it looks like original paint and accessories. The horn works! Couldn't figure out how to open the Delta Light case to check it. The badge says...

This is Melanie, Steve's widow, and I have a true barn find that I am selling. Not sure if it is just yard art, or if it is something that a collector might be interested in. It all looks old and original to me. So if anyone is interested in making an offer, please make me an offer before I...

This is Melanie, Steve's wife. As some of you know, Steve passed away and I have been selling some of his bikes. I've had several kind fellow collectors help me sell the bikes over the last few years, but I still have a few to sell. This is one of them. I don't know that much technically...

Went to an auction today to possibly bid on a Shelby Airflow. (Don't see too many of these come up for sale as we all know) Auctioneer started the auction asking for $10,000 for the bicycle but gradually came down to $2000 and stated that he had an online bidder at that amount. Bidding was...

Prices include shipping. First set of pics is for a Delta tail light that has a square red lens. It is marked "DELTA MADE IN U.S.A." on the inside bend of the bracket. Needs to be restored. Was clearly hand painted at some point. I believe it to be model M-5928-3 that can be found in a 1940's...

Looks to have been painted with some white house paint but should clean-up pretty nice for your project. Very small hairline crack in edge of lens that is about 1/4 inch long. tough to see in the pics. Inside looks pretty clean as far as I can tell. $165 shipped. Let me know by shooting me...

See pictures. Pair Delta Silver Rays with bracket and original some-what frayed cloth wire. Very difficult to find. I believe this is the style used on a CWC made Hawthorne Zep bicycle. Original lenses still there but are concave probably due to storage in an attic or elsewhere. Missing...

Great old chain guard. Looks like CWC product. Late 1930's??? Some surface rust but otherwise pretty clean. Measures approx 20.5 inches long. How does $45 shipped sound? Thanks Steve K - Greensboro, NC

Had a bit of a frankenbike that had a Shelby badge on it and had been poorly painted and a poorly done weld to the frame. Serial number identified it as a 1940-ish CWC product. This 3-gill bent tank was on the bicycle. It has been painted red. The metal does show it was a little rough before...

:confused:Pulled this bicycle out of the shed and plan to take it to the Mount Airy NC show this Sunday to sell/trade. It has a Shelby Eagle badge, but looks more Cleveland Welding to me. It truly has kind of a Frankenbike look to it. However I do like the chain guard and chain ring but again...

I have decided to sell this pretty cool bicycle called the Rotojet. It was made by Heidemann Bicycle Works, Hannover, "West Germany". (I'm guessing mid 1950's due to style and features). Bicycle looks a lot like a US made balloon tire tank bicycle from the 1950's as well. It has 24x2.125" tires...

This is the 3rd of 6 bicycles I picked up yesterday as well that had been stored outside under a tarp for at least 5 years. Serial No. is H58812, and again I think it would place the bicycle's birthday sometime in 1941. Missing some parts...(stand, front wheel, paint!!!!!!) but, I see...

Just picked up this little skip tooth, prewar Colson bicycle tonight. Didn't pay much. Found her on Craigslist locally, but by the time I got there it was pretty dark and all we had was an overhead light to see the details. ( My initial pictures as a result are not the best and I had to take...
