I bought a 1974 Stingray 5 speed almost 2 years ago, and haven't messed with it because it just wasn't in really great shape paint or chrome wise. Prices are through the roof on Stingray stuff and I bought what I could afford. Well this week at Memory Lane I spotted a beautiful 1977 5 speed same...

Selling my 86 Grand National, had an opportunity to buy my high school dream car. I have 3 GN's so I'm selling this one. Here's the complete craigslist ad. Selling in northwest Ohio. https://toledo.craigslist.org/cto/d/carey-86-buick-grand-national/7564011540.html

This trike has sat in the back of the shop for about 2 months now, and since no one seems to want it, I figured I'd give it a shot. I usually drive around with my tools on a 3 wheeled Taylor Dunn, but I figured this would be cool to ride, and be able to ride all winter long. Started off breaking...

Looking for a set of 53 Roadmaster rack braces, and tail light for the rack. Will be at Memory Lane Thursday and Friday, and Ann Arbor Sunday, also willing to pay for shipping. Prefer a light that works, but not necessary, and decent chrome on the braces, hardware a bonus! Thanks Joe

Hi all, my Dad picked up what I believe is a 48 Schwinn with a Whizzer kit, however, the motor mounts and tank just don't seem to fit with Whizzer. It has 24" Schwinn tubular S2 rims with no knurling, Schwinn fore brake, non locking fork, wide Mesinger seat, Whizzer controls, correct looking...

Had this 82 Sidewinder sitting in the garage since Ann Arbor last spring, finally got a few bikes done this summer and decided to give this one a detail. It was mostly complete only missing a few pedal reflectors and the front reflector, and needing new rubber and cables. the paint was pretty...

Well I've been sitting on this X53, or should I say watching it sit in a corner of the garage since the spring Memory Lane swap meet. Was so excited to pick it up from Dave the Tinker, and tear into it, but one thing after another kept coming up, and there it sat. Well I did a lot of research on...

Picked up this, I think 47, DX at the Memory Lane swap last week, was a bare frame, fork, guard, seatpost and crank with chainring. The damn thing staring at me from the spot next door to me just kept saying take me home! I'll have to admit anytime someone looked at it I got a little antsy but...

Picked up a Silverking a few weeks ago and it finally made it on the stand. Doing some research and watching a few threads here, I believe it's a 37. It's missing a lot of parts, but just going to clean it up, service it and make it a rider for now. It has the pie crust chainguard and I did pull...

Perusing eBay last night at work, and what should I happen upon? One of the coolest badges I have seen in a while! A Cafaro Flyer Dayton Hardliner! I have read numerous informative, and intelligent posts of our own Cafaro, but can you imagine what the bike this should belong on looks like!! Have...

Not sure if it's OK to post this here, but I'm having the 3rd annual Man Sale at my place Sept 17th. It's the day before the Royal Oak MI swap and wanted to throw it out there for anyone who wanted to stop by. This sale is only guy stuff with keg and eggs at 9 and something on the grill for...

OK, so this one is not going to be anywhere near the caliber of Gary's 55 ladies Corvette, but I've had a blast bringing her back over the last couple weeks. Originally bought for just the men's seat, instead of a quick flip, or parting, I decided to give her a detail, some new rubber, and had...

Picked this one up yesterday, what looks like an 66 or 67 MTD "The King" 3 speed. From what I can tell pretty much all og except front tire, in pretty rough shape, with a near perfect persons seat. Research tells me MTD made bikes from 66 to 68 before Murray bougt them out, one of those "rare"...

Picked this one up yesterday, sitting in a garage in Marion Ohio since the early 70's. Badged as a Thistle by the Beckley & Ralston Co Chicaco. Very little info out there on that company, other than golf clubs and auto parts, and some info from lowlux. The chainring and serial # pattern lead me...

Can't seem to post the link, but I about threw up in my mouth when I saw this one getting exploded on eBay. No way I can afford to save all the pieces but this one would have been awesome to have, super color combo! Joe.

Built an old stingray from a 70's chopper fork a guy I work with give me a month ago. Picked up a discarded stingray at MLC swap and with spare parts had a little fun with with this one. Was a blast putting it together but an even bigger blast trying to ride it. Not what I usually do but pretty...

I'm mostly a balloon tire guy, but a month or two ago a guy work with gave me some chrome forks he put on all his bikes as a kid for delivering papers in the 70's. Found an old beat up stingray frame at the Memory Lane swap this past weekend and with spare parts laying around I mocked up a 70's...

Just curious how many of you have other hobbies or things you like to do that take a back seat to bicycles? For me it came on mild and just kind of exploded, don't see an end in sight, and I'm Ok with that! Been into cars, motorcycles, and anything with a motor forever, also Zippo's and racing...

Here's hoping someone here has parted out an old Huffy tandem. I'm looking for the small adjustment idler sprocket, I bought one for a Schwinn and its way off, also would like a kickstand, or a reference of one close, my search's are turning up zilch on that. And last a metallic red chain guard...

Recently found a coppertone Mini Twinn, goes pretty good with the campus green one I picked up this spring at Memory Lane. Finally got them both dialed in and put on matching USA tires, matching mirrors and bells. The girls are all geeked up to go on a ride this weekend, should be a hoot...

Saw this one on local craigslist, blue frame and grips, black and chrome tank, white chain guard. I know 53 was also the only year green was available, but I couldn't find any info on blue boys bikes, just the girls had the blue luxury liner and pleasure liner. Couldn't see any over spray in the...

EBay item #181784661088 for the attic find 1956 X-53. Not sure who all is watching this, but I can't help to go and look it over every couple of days, its been listed at least 3 times. Not that I have the funds at the current moment, but how far off base is this? $5800 seems really high, but...

https://limaohio.craigslist.org/bik/5090944052.html Shameless plug, these are mine, let me know if anyone is interested! Thanks Joe

So I put the 49 B6 up on the stand to strip her of her Uniroyal tire chains, just felt they looked better on the 41 Firestone. I have a set of Goodyear pattern whitewalls going back on, they are more correct looking for me since I took the original Goodyear's off because of cracking. Anyways...

Picked up this Colson built Firestone last week. It was about a mile from the house hanging in a garage for for over 15 years. The owner had wanted to restore it years ago, but was put off by the $1100 quote he got, so there it hung, boy am I glad he didn't restore it! We make a deal and when I...

Pretty new to bikes in general, and have focused on the middleweight Schwinn's, then got the ballooner bug, but just couldn't pass up this fastback the guy had when we went to look at a coppertone mini twin. Pretty nice and appears all original, even got the original rear tire he replaced...

Decided to sell this one, it was stripped completely down, the clearcoat was carefully removed from the frame, all the bearings cleaned, inspected greased and reassembled. Drop center rims, are in very good shape wrapped in NOS Goodyear wingfoot tires and hubs gone through. Previous owner...

My son started working for the village again this past week for the summer, he comes home today and says, "Dad, pretty cool tank bike next to a ladies house by the park, I saw it on my brush route today!" So we hop in my truck and go see it. Super nice older lady comes out and says her pastor...

Saw this one at Memory Lane late on Friday, and couldn't wait til Saturday to make an offer because I decided I had to have it. Well his trailer was packed up ready to head north, so I had to wait til Sunday to try and get it. Me and my son got to Ann Arbor and after looking around and finding a...

Wish I had extra funds right now! Lots of cool stuff! Can't seem to get link to paste, craigslist search of "vintage bicycle" Cincinnati Ohio, a guy has about 16 or 18 he's letting go. Prices don't look to bad, and I wouldn't mind having the Mercury. Hope someone can post the link! Thanks joe.

Picked up a pile of parts that one time looked like a 54 Starlet, couldn't help myself but to bring her back to her former glory, instead of ravengering her for parts, I decided she needed to live again. All the paint polished out rather nice with some nicks and chips here and there, put in all...

Scrolling through craigslist the other day and came across a few barn find bikes for sale, called the guy up and he said I tear down barns and found a few, and have another I bought off of original owner. The original owner bike is 36 Cadillac badged Shelby, looks like it was red but spray...

I went yesterday to look at an old starlet that was disassembled I found on craigslist, got the "oh gonna go get another one" from a few members of the family. Looked at the starlet and the price was right so I bought it, the guy closed on his house and had to move stuff out and asked if I would...

Looking for an old rusty whizzer tank, dented up and holes are Ok, won't be going on a bike. Any remnants of a decal are a bonus but not necessary. Gas cap a bonus also but not needed. Thanks Joe!

Looking for a kickstand, mattress style seat and a white with green and yellow stripe rear fender. Picked up these 3 bikes for my girlfriends parents, they are into anything John Deere, and have around 15 of the 140 garden tractors and a room in their house dedicated to all things Deere. They...

Picked up a non locking fork with a drum brake and very heavy spokes. The other drum brake I have has the smaller spokes, didn't know there were differences. The rim looks ran over by a truck, but hub looks unhurt other than being rusty. The whole front end was taken apart sometime, AS bolts...

Trying to find these parts for my 49, eBay has turned up a few crusty ones, but I'm looking for a condition 6 to 8 set. Bike turned out pretty nice and rides like a dream and I want to complete it. Maroon and ivory stripe with black pinstriping around the ivory. Any help locating these are much...

Now that the holidays are over and all the gift bikes are done, its time to get back to my bikes. Still waiting on parts for my corvette, and the red phantoms are sleeping in the front room next to the piano. I picked up a 49 B6 last weekend and it was in the garage so I couldn't help but tear...

Picked up this Raleigh girls bike in a deal this weekend and its not really my kind of bike. It has the dynahub that works perfect, and a near perfert brooks leather seat. It is still sporting its original Dunlop tires made in England, with minimal cracking. I didn't air up tires because the...

Picked up a franken bike a few months ago, been using parts off of it, I got to looking at it today and where the top tube, seat tube, and canti bars all meet, it looks flush across the top. All my other bikes, middleweight or balloon tire, the frame is not put together this way, the top bar...

Just got done putting together a 61 I picked up a month ago. Had painted rims, spokes and hubs, a chrome chain guard the at had paint off of it, plain black and white seat, mismatched grips, and a newer black rack. Kind of a whoopty. In a box of parts I got from the guy, was a scratched up...

Just wanted to post a few pics of my 56 corvette overhaul. A non paint restoration I'd call it. Bike was torn down all paint scrubbed polished and waxed, the chrome all derusted and polished, Memory Lane Classics respoked and trued the wheels, and rolled fenders. Got all the new cables and...

Having a hard time deciding what route to go with the red phantoms I picked up. 1st is a 56 that was a barn find, paint will clean up Ok, missing lots of the good parts. 2nd is a 52 that is mostly complete and original, paint will clean up real nice, fender, tank and handlebars are crusty, rims...

Hi all, working on a 56 red phantom and I'm looking for the later opalesencel red or metallic red rear rack, would like a 4 hole, but would also consider a 6 hole. Older original preferred, my bike is original paint and would love one to match. Any help appreciated, thanks Joe.
