No, I try to keep them as they were meant to be. I have a Klunker and a Mtn bike for the cool modern wheel stuff.

Never seen one in person, but could it take a front loader bezel? Same diameter?

Was just thinking of how too remove the rust from the spokes. What you do afterwards is up to you of course. If I had a bike that the paint was ok but the wheels and spokes were torched, I’d probably just replace or build a new wheel set with nicer vintage parts. Good luck with your project!

Evapo rust on the spokes?

On assembly I could tell. Someone posted recently about this with a pic of the hub shells themself. One type had more hub shell extending past the spoke attachment rib. With that, obviously the gizzards are different too. 😜

Love to to see each Model D from earliest to the latest dissembled side by side. Then dated by production run. So we could compare and see what’s correct for our application by the year. I’ve made the mistake of thinking they look similar, and tried swapping parts. They were most definitely not...

@John Haeberle

Not sure who at Stewart Warner thought it a good idea to make the body of plastic, but they are cool looking for sure! First time the bike falls over and it breaks….sad little billy! 😭

Murray built Western Flyer I’d guess 1965

I’ve been getting great rates through Pirateship. Third party app type company getting bulk rates through ups and usps.

Could it be automotive? Two stage, brake/running light or turn signal.

Fork Tailed Devil

These are on eBay if you search Dayton chainguard

Like a P-38 Lightning! Awesome job man!

Man, tighten down that nut before you go for a spin or are those threads supposed to be showing?

@RUDY CONTRATTI had some recently in primo shape.

Congrats to the new owner!

Anyone interested in this Schwinn Tandem? I think it’s all there. Drum brake rear. Just needs some love, tires/tubes and seat coverings. No shipping. Cash on pickup. $75 or best offer.

Interesting because it was in my garage too! 🤣 Found this bike at the base of Mt Tam. The birth place of mountain biking. Bought from the owners son. The owner was one of those og start of it all mt bike guys. He bought this with the thought of stripping all the parts off of it, and making a...

My first thought is an attachment point for a rack?

Gotta stock up on those longer style drop stand clips, and then maybe….

Made one. Mapp gas torch, small hammer, and a vice.

Sprock-o-matic! Two choices: Power and Speed. I choose…. stock chain ring. 🤣

I accepted at $35. Thanks for the interest.

Thank you @bud poe ! I’m trying to make this for my Firestone Fleetwood Supreme. Just picked up one on eBay. If it breaks in the heating/bending process….again. First try was a no go. I’ll pm you!

At the top of your thread on the right side there’s a box that says edit thread. Once you’ve clicked it on the left side below the word Title there’s a drop down box if you click it that has options for the thread. “Found” should be one.

Found a bracket that’ll receive the Hull compass shaft. 🫢 🤣 The hardware came chrome plated. Worked some patina magic to match the rest. Aged the compass deal as well. Drop stand clip is my last major hurdle. The bike rides nice! My new favorite 2 wheeled child!!!

Greetings all! DOND……..maybe :) Just seeing if anyone might be interested in this old butt holder. Its top has seen better days, but still there. Few threads still in place on the backside. Looks complete and an excellent candidate for a new lease on life….or the metal recycler. 🤣 I’ll...

Greetings all! DOND on this ND 2-speed drive unit. Got it in a deal many years ago. Never used it. I don’t know if it’s complete. Please check the pics!!! I’ll ship to the lower 48 only via Pirateship. PPFF or add 3% to the sale price to cover the fees. Cash on local pickup. Checks on...

My retro-klunks. Love to cruise it if it was that kind a thang.

What are grips from the 1930’s-1950’s made of? Rubber? Mix of rubber? Composite materials? What are the current repop ones made of? The man’s asking questions to help the hobby. Let’s support him in his endeavor! 👍👍👍

Some ship fast. Some ship slow . Some ship when ever the f&@$ they want. 🤣 I bought a chainguard from a certain Jerry awhile back. Waited 2 weeks before asking about its disposition. Said, “I’m very busy I’ll get to it asap.” Another 2-3 weeks go by, and it did get delivered. I totally agree...

Thanks for posting! I had or have one of these stems always wondered what era and who made it.

I wonder if we can bring our retro klunkers out or if it’s a viewing event only?

Wanted: A drop stand and drop stand clip for a Firestone Supreme

WTB $$$

New chain guard got the faux-effect and rear reflector back on after trying to go mia. The old boy is coming along. Need a holder for the compass and a drop stand clip.

Came from my neighbor who sadly passed last year. He loved monarks and in original condition. I went through some literature I picked up from him. I think I have the original looking sales paper work for it too.

Thanks but nd

Hello, Wanted: Long prewar drop stand clip. New or old. Preferably not super rusty pitted. Just broke one that was crusty heating it up and trying to bend it. There’s the traditional length drop stand clip and they made a size bigger. Need the big boy version. Thank you!

New in the box 1978 Prop Power Handlebar accessory. Made by Ideal in Hollis NY. For that authentic Flying Tigers look! 😜 I noticed they blocked out Ages 3 and up to 5 and up on the box side. Hope some little Billy didn’t get hurt! Parts bags still sealed. Instructions present. Gotta imagine the...

Picked this chain guard up to further my current project. Gotta test my hand at patina painting now. That greens gotta go! 🤣

Well then….heres a story and a half. I recently picked up a chainguard for my Firestone Fleetwood Supreme. With much crank adjustment I got it to pedal without rubbing. I decided to test ride down to the sunset. When I get there I hop off to take a look. I stand behind the bike and my heart hits...

Sorry about the feet! 🤣
