I hear you on the increased demand with vintage Porsche’s.
I would like to say the parallel with Porsches and our hobby, is the quality of any restoration. The do it your self vs a professional restorer and the level of knowledge of what’s correct and not correct in parts.
You get a...
My coworker has several 356’s, has sold a few to serious collectors from Germany and is involved with the So Cal vintage Porsche scene, read the description above and I’m quoting his experienced appraisal.
I only have two that are going on Super Deluxe bikes. Could use ten if I were to put racks on everything.
I prefer the look of no rack on the base models. My 41 BFG Canti in black and cream really shows off that rear fender without a rack. Same with my 35 DD, it’s rackless too even though I...
Hi
Does anyone have a industrial source for the slotted screws and square nuts used on Prewar Bikes to mount the fenders and chainguard to the frame and forks.
I think they are 10-24 thread size off the top of my head.
thanks,

1938 Schwinn Cantilever with Double Duty forks.
Slowly resurrecting this original paint frame and forks with original paint Gothic fenders.
The theme is Rust Never Sleeps.
Great job Marty !
Those fenders makes it complete.
I’m glad it went to a good home instead of the Goodwill.
I’ll let Charlie see the results !

Here are my favorite before pics.
I liked the original owner bars, comfy saddle and that “groovy” front tire.
I tried Schwinn, Schwinn Motorbike, Prewar Schwinn all with highest prices on eBay search with Zero results.
If this is on eBay, the obvious keywords are not being used.

Hi,
I’m Sarmis, I live in Redondo Beach, Southern California and work at HRA (Honda Acura Design Studio) as a clay and digital modeler.
Besides Prewar Bicycles, I also collect other interesting bicycles, bike badges, exotic plants, skateboards and books.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have...
I’m going to guess Euzkadi badged Schwinn bikes, perhaps ?, were sold somewhere in Mexico at one time because of the Euzkadi Tire Company connection as Barry pointed out. There is nothing to prove this assumption unless there is related literature or a person involved with Euzkadi or Schwinn or...
It’s not a legit RMS,
it’s that green and yellow converted girls frame that I got from CWC Man.
I gave up on JAFCO not replying several times and will try to just get what I need to make it a rider.
Fender braces, anyone ???
thanks,

I’m looking for fender braces, rear drop stand and chainguard for a Roadmaster Supreme so I can put together
this bike as a rider.
On a long shot, a rack for this one would be appreciated.
I’ve lost hope on finding a source for a reproduction Bugeye tank.
thanks,

The Internet in general makes anyone an “expert” in anything. A keyboard is a dangerous thing.
Knowledge is power, and while it is nice to be helpful and to do so, it can be tiring seeing people misidentify bikes and other items.
Actually the Ranger tank was traded for another 35 tank in last minute trading before paint prep began, so the original Ranger tank may have been saved
Look at my wunnerful red highlights ,
If you cut the girls forks at that height as Shawn marked, the diameter of the taper is SMALLER than the diameter where the fork meets the steer tube casting.
You will have a gap between the fork and steer tube casting.
Where the the fork meets the steer...
My take is....
If you cut at the bottom to keep the correct height and to keep the short straight piece at the top, the taper of the girls bike is longer and you will end up with a too small diameter to work with at the cast yoke.
I think this is why a shortened girls DD fork is cut at the top...
Fordmike,
I would say a good set of DD forks will get $2000 all day long.
Now then again, you have repaired forks, converted from girls forks, locking, non locking and the fork strut plates that are hard to find if missing. All of these different aspects factor into the value.
I would also...
Ha ha Marty !
The Cabe is no different than Facebook,
just another internet address
with the same social media
interaction.
Both have the same likes, replies, people commenting on posts and people praising or insulting each other.
Not me, but I told him I would have given him more.
Stuff happens and he chose FB.
No gripes here.
I only posted it here to show the Non Facebookers that there are VERY active bike groups with deals to be found on Facebook.
Today I was finally putting together 4 bicycles that were all eBay purchases sitting in their shipping boxes the last 6 months.
On one of these, an awesome original paint Red 79 Spitfire 5,
I noticed this paper clip painted to the bike !
Has anyone seen this before on a Schwinn ?

I took the hard and expensive way, collecting separate parts, but it was worth it !!!
Finding the tank, the frame, the forks, then a paper thin rear fender that grew in size rolling it, all top notch parts and the best restorer in the business to get to...
