So I keep breaking the pedals on my cwc hawthorn. I ride it distances, and about every 40 to 50 miles the pedals bind up, twist, break off or freeze. I am looking for information on what type will hold up, are there rebuildable ones? Am I better off going with a newer set? Would like to stay...

hello, I wanted a 24 inch project that my son could ride hard and found one this weekend. Has a schwinn badge but the holes don't match up so I figure they put it on to sell it. Also couldn't find a serial number. Rack and chain guard are obviously added on later. Don't think the axles have ever...

So after looking at it not for sale for over a year I finally got it bought, now I just need information on what it is.

Any info on this seat would be great, im going to try to recover it myself to see how it turns out. Also i got all excited thinking i got a nice torrington deco stem for a build and when i got it home realized that the bolt had cracked completely through the stem. Purely ornamental now. Ugh...

Hello, need a front fender for a girls colson, mid fifties i think. Building a trike for my moms 80 birthday. Any front fender that fits this bike will work, i dont know if they were interchangeable. Paint doesnt matter, she wants it repainted. Included pic of bike for comparison. Please let me...

What is the difference between a hub with one red stripe and the ones with three? Are both two speed hubs? Didnt get a chance to take a pic. Thanks Roger

I just picked these up today, i know the blue is obviously a higgins, and the one with the basket is a western flyer, but i have no idea what the third one is. All are skip chains, will get more pics when i get off the interstate in a couple of days. I dont plan on selling them but age and...
