Came out of a real crusty Shelby frame, hence the bend. With a piece of steel and a vise it should straighten out no problem. This is your chance to save yourself the $80. Any interest at $20.00 SHIPPED?

Boy is this going to be a fun, miserable, excited, terrifying, terrific summer! For those of you who remember, I rejuvenated a 1939 Westfield Built Sears collegiate last summer that has been my daily rider since. If you'd like to see that project you can see it's progression here: This...

I was originally going to transform this lantern into a classic light fixture, but the time has gotten away from me. My loss is your gain! The years may have not been kind to this light, but it is a true survivor. It is rusted and damaged in some areas, but still solid! The wear is consistent...

This Shelby has been through the ringer and I think it has earned a retirement. The crank is frozen, the sprocket is bent with broken teeth, the seatpost tube is missing, the frame is rusted through, and the length of the frame has a slight twist in it. The stem is also going nowhere. Gave it a...

I'm rounding up the finishing touches on my Sears collegiate, and I'm about to redo my first, double pan, saddle. After some research on here, I went to JoAnn's Fabrics and got 1/2" Airtex brand High-Density Foam. According to the website, the company claims the foam is good for outdoor...

Hey everyone, I bought this chainguard on here as advertised as an Elgin chainguard, and I thought it was the correct style for my '39-'41 Sears Elgin Collegiate (Westfield Built). Unfortunately, I didn't notice the embossing on the chainguard, and after some research on here it seems to be a...

Just finished lacing my first wheel and it went great! Then when I went to inspect the action of the Musselman Hub, this piece snapped in my hands. Definitely a hit to my self esteem, but I'm glad it happened. Rather have it happen tonight than while I am riding down the road. The hub is a Model...

It pains me to have to do this, but I have to sell my early WH Tank. It has been a journey to get this fan where it is today, and it is definitely a head turner. The fan is not %100 original. The stator that was in it was kaput, so it has been replaced with a later style tank stator and acorn...

When I got this bike 2 years ago, the owner had told me that the original paint had faded to a light blue, from the dark blue and dark red with white pinstripes as it originally was. I took this as the truth and got a deal on the bike, took it hoe, put it in them room and didn't pay any mind to...

[tl;dr: I got an old bicycle and intend on fixing it up. This will be proof.] I am very excited to get started on this one. If anyone has seen my threads looking for a wartime/prewar bike, you'll know that I have been looking for a bike like this for a long time. In Colorado, these bikes seldom...

My long, long, search for a bare bones bike complete, I now am on the search for parts. The parts only need to be around the era, although preferred from a collegiate. Parts that should work are prewar Sears, Elgin and Murray built parts. This is what I am looking for: I've attached a fairly...

This fan has been refurbished, not restored. I intentionally preserved the imperfections to preserve the history, polishing up the paint I could, and keeping the bare metal. This fan has been mechanically maintained. I started by removing the stator and old, ratty cord. I soaked the original...

Looking into getting this one. Badge was replaced with a "Saint (George?) Badge". On my guess the seat isn't original. Can anyone tell me the make and year, and value? Cheers!

Hello Everyone, I'm in the market for a standard 40sish era bicycle I can use as a campus cruiser, to get from class to class. Condition isn't much of a factor. I only really need the barebones of the bike. Things like fenders, accessories, racks are not needed, though they'd be a plus. A...

I cant tell what these are worth. I have seen some others with the rare Indian front fender that gets everyone's heart pumping, but how much would an average condition 1920s Westfield be worth? The specimen I'm looking as has no tank and no chain guard. It has this frame and fender. Besides some...
