Looking good! Encouraging me to get my '46 back together soon.. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Little green Corvette found its new home with me. Needs plenty of TLC. 1955 OR 1956. How can I figure that out? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Thanks Adam!. The bike is blue. From what I see online, men's bikes were red. It appears to be an original paint with decals in place. Any evidence blue is correct? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info. Rust and moss..a real test for Evaporust.. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Picked up a very rusty western flyer. Any help with this one would be appreciated. Serial# is 672264. There are more smaller numbers and letters too but have not made fully legible yet.. Has western flyer grips, can recognise the chain guard. No headache and a bracket behind where the head...

Thanks! It cleaned up well. The red has faded to some orange and some brown. I wet sanded and clear lacquered to finish and preserve as well as possible. There are more photos in the project forum. The chrome isn't perfect but overall nice. It was a fun estate sale find and my 3rd project bike...

Rode my Raleigh Sprite for the first time.. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Just a pedal end cap and some cable clamps away. Rode this today! Proud of the results and thank you to everyone who helped. I learned a ton with this bike! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Hoping to find an end cap for a '69 pedal. See photos. Made in England. See photos. Thanks, Tim Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Did this bike ever "take off"?...I have one just like it :) Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Thanks bairdco. The water soak and tie up worked great! I appreciate the help and tips from you All! The look restored nicely, hoping the durability is too.. Tim Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Excited about the progress!.. small part detailing now. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Saddle reshape went well. Soaked overnight in a bucket of water, then wrapped it up to shape. Let it dry for a few days and resulted in a nicely shaped original Brooks saddle. Final rub down will be with leather conditioner. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Assembly moving along. Original paint with lacquer coats looking good. Completed bike is closer.. [emoji1] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

How likely is the headbadge correct? I'm not finding anything similar. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Removed the paint from the fork crown tonight, no sign of a date stamp. Do you think the headbadge is correct? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Your right, the front fender rotated forward and I thought the slot was for a missing headlight. Thx! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

9m36297 .. Looks like a 47 Huffman special Missing truss and headlamp, front fender has mounting slot. Could it be wrong badge? Thanks for your help. Tim Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Started the reassembly this weekend. Also worked on the saddle restoration which I'll share later. Waiting on tires and tubes to arrive. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Thanks for sharing kngtmat!. I took the crankset out today and Huffman it is!. Now to figure out the year...[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

The serial number has an extra Digit. Drop the 1st digit and it's a 1954 Schwinn #. The bike matches earlier Schwinn Double curved bar roadsters. The tie I see between my Flying Star and your dad's photo is not just the similar bike but the exact design of the oversized crank gear. Going to pull...

Looks like the Flying Star I bought this past Thursday. Very cool picture! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Found a paint color for touch-up, matches well. 2005 Corvette Daytona orange. Sprayed the rear rack (only part repainted) and chrome is coming along.. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Thanks for the response. I passed. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Sorry guys, only one photo. Have not seen in person yet and seller knows nothing. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Mine is missing. Any color works. Tim Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Great article! Thanks. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info! Should I tie it up like a new baseball glove to reshape it? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Hey Cabers! Looking for input on improving the look, condition and longevity of my 1969 Raleigh Brooks saddle. The leather is hard, the sides flaring up with some cracking. I've got the chrome springs looking good but not sure what to do with the rusty rivets that show. Thanks in advance! ~Tim...

Thanks for the info! I'll check the seat for a date. I have started the project and I am sharing the clean and shine in the project forum. Color has a unique faded patina that is a mixed burnt orange and gold. Fun bike, can't wait to ride! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Loving the color! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Going for a quick tear down, clean up and reassembly I discovered this bike has some fun features. My Estate sale find which was so dirty that I thought was just a bland brown, has cleaned up and with a lacquer clear is a beautiful burnt orange faded to gold in some spots. Decided to clear coat...

What a coincidence!..My first try at an old Raleigh crank too! My vice was the victor! I had the same thing happen to me last night on my old sprite 5 speed.. only my crank side bearing cap came out. [emoji21]..soaking overnight hoping for more luck soon..not looking forward to assembling all...

First post, Hey Y'all!!. Bought this at an estate sale of a famous artist yesterday. Guessing 1969?. Need some help dating this old English Raleigh, the chain guard is throwing me off... Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
