Lady on Instagram messaged me asking about this old bikes she’s had for 20 years, figure you guys could give me a 100% ID the massive skippy chain ring makes me think time trial bike but I’m not sure.

Hey hey Cabers haven't been around much lately.... But figured this one should go up for posterity, kind of stepped back from collecting/projects the last year. But every once in a while my reputation precedes me locally, I basically begged the owner not to powder coat this/"restore" this '50s...

Just want to know if it's an original or repop, guy I'm buying it from says he bought it from the original owners. But with the repops and there parts all over the place. I'd like a solid yes this is an original Liner buy with confidence. It definitely fits the patina bill, but I'm not to...

Well I found another local unicorn, Some of the original paint is still hiding under the spay can job. She's missing her right fork legs, if ya got parts let me know. If you could also tell me what badge this would have been, that'd be awesome. I think she's a 1940, but if ya can translate...

Game plan so far. -Repack whole bike with fresh grease -Replace the bent crank -Boiled linseed oil treatment for the paint -WD-40 and steel wool for the chrome bits. -Might try to repair the original Troxel seat

Found this on Craigslist recently guy thought it was a 1939 Roadmaster, after a little poking around it looks more like a 40-42 tall tank CWC Western Flyer, has the Roadmaster badge though. Rivets were punched out on the badge which makes me think it was replaced. Also can't tell if it was a...

This is a 1970s Stratostreak II, made in Europe for Montgomery Wards. Now that it's warm it up outside I figured I'd do some work. After teardown and clean up this is how she looked. Decided I was going to use a Lester Meg in the back, but the yellows weren't the same. So I went with...

Need a rear rack and fork for a 1939 mens Shelby.

This is how she started out, straight out of Pocatello Idaho. Haven't been able to start working this this old girl because of how Krusty she was, soaked her for a month with BP Blaster just so I could disassemble with out striping all the components. And this is after I rebuilt the head set...

I need a drop-stand/kickstand that will fit this frame style.

Got this put back together with the correct truss rods.

I did a test patch on the tank, and it seems all the OG orange paint is still under the house paint. And as you can see it's in fantastic shape for being painted over. And the fenders and frame also have the OG paint as well. This is the original fork and it's pretty beat to heck, so...

This was gifted to me. Seems fairly original to me I'm not really informed on Schwinn Middleweights so any info is helpful.

Looking for either a drop stand or kick stand thats correct for the bike.

The bike started it's life out as a 1950 J.C Higgins special line the most basic model J.C Higgins made at the time, it's still very much original J.C Higgins just with some extra Higgins parts added on. 1# Bike has been completely overhauled by me works like new. 2# 1970s 80s...

1930s D.P Harris badged as a Zenith, this bike has a bit of a story It was first bought some time in the early to mid 30s in Idaho, definitely ridden hard most it's life. <---- this part is my personal speculation and the pervious owners tale about where and how he got it. Then in the 60s it...

Serial number is S14026 comes up as a 1955, but there's some characteristics that throw me off. Which makes me think it's pre-war.

Alright I have this Twin Bar, don't know what model it is Twin 60, 20, 40, 50 etc. Just need some complete fenders, any condition regarding paint. Just need fenders with struts and no big dents or pitting.

I need the correct fender struts for this 50s Higgins, as you can see the fender struts that are on there are to short and they bow out the front fender, oh and these are the gothic/peeked style fenders.

I bought this bike as a parts donor for my 52 J.C Higgins colorflow project. When I first got it had a whole bunch of color flow Parts on it, it went through quite a few changes since I first got it. The guy I bought it from I thought it was a 1949 J.C Higgins colorflow, ended up being a 1950...

Just need some steel Elgin twin fenders, like the ones on this Elgin

What I think is a Monark badged as a J.C Higgins, Super cool girls bike seems fairly original. Prewar Zenith think its Hawthorn built. All these bikes are from a 80 year old gentleman thats been collecting since the 60s, so I know there not original but there an awesome stating...

Before After

Got this bike off Craigslist for a steal of a deal. OG seat is in fantastic condition, and one of the cooler head badges. Found this cool light, it's a little darker the the paint but still pretty darn close. I know not original but a good place holder. Sadly it's a repaint but on...
