These are some pictures of my first new bike. A Columbia and I’m guessing here a Playbike. The pictures were taken in the early 70’s. I’d guess it to be about a 1967??? I painted it yellow🤢🤮 It was stolen twice. I only got it back once.

I recently purchased a 1949 Columbia with a locking springer fork. When I lock the fork I can remove the key. When it’s unlocked the key won’t come out. I’ve tried in many different positions to remove the key but no luck. Any suggestions? Remove it and try cleaning? My second question is...

I scored this 52 or 53 Columbia at an estate sale today. The rims are toast. The worst I’ve ever seen! So I am looking for some replacements. Surprisingly with rims this bad the rest of the bicycle is in real nice shape. With the exception of the seat cover. It will clean up very nice. If...

Before and after shots. From yard art to nice rider. Very picture heavy.

This cool old racing bike was brought to our Gateway Coasters show today. He bought it a couple of months ago at an estate sale so doesn’t know any history on the bike. There are no holes for a headbadge. Some or the components say made in England like in the picture of the crank arm. What...

I have a Japanese made Miyata Lemans Course 12 speed that I bought new in about 1982 when I was a young Marine stationed on Okinawa. It is in very nice original condition including the tires. I have been unable to find little if anything about it online. It possibly might be the only one in the...

This is a picture of my brother on my fenderless Five Speed. I’m guessing it to be a 1971 or 1972. What do you knowledgeable people think? I sold it to a friend of mines younger brother. I inquired about it twenty years ago. His mother had just sold it at a yard sale three months before I asked.

I have what I believe to be a 1939 Schwinn American Flyer. The Crank is a Wald so no help there. There is not a seat post clamp as are all the others that I have found, but a through the frame seat post binder bolt. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks in advance! It is not for sale.

I picked this Schwinn Motorbike up today. It has been stored out in the weather for years. It is missing some hardware and some of the hardware is incorrect. It is very rusty and crusty.

I was at the Straford Air and Space Muesum in Weatherford Oklahoma today. This hub was part of their launch system. Note this is a recreation of their original Flyer.

I was recently asked about these two bikes. The Tank bike has an American Flyer head badge on it. I’ve never seen anything like the commercial bike. Both are very cool. I don’t know if they are for sale yet.

I posted pictures of the shape this bike was in when I bought it from the original owner in about July. The black and white photo was taken the day he got it for a birthday present. It weighs 44 pounds. Probably more than he weighed when he was riding it. It's cool that he not only hung onto the...

Part of the package deal on the 1939 Monark Airman included these NOS Carlisle tires. Maybe at one time they were intended for the Monark. Can someone please tell me how to read the production date on these two tires. Thanks. They are not for sale.

My Friend was driving through his neighborhood when he noticed the family was cleaning out the home of an elderly neighbor who had passed away. He noticed a balloon tire bike with a tank sitting in the front yard. After thinking about it for a couple of minutes he pulled a u-turn and went back...

1939 Monark Airman in as found condition. The information I have been given says this is one of 4 or 5 1939 Airmans known to have survived. It has suspension front and rear! I have been told this is the most complete and in the best shape out of all of them. Making it as rare as hens teeth to...

I just finished this Schwinn Racer that was born on April 5, 1963. It sold new for $56.95. That’s $473.37 in today’s dollars. The two speed was bound up and would barely turn. I had to soak it just to get it apart. I thought it was toast, but it works fine now.

Thanks!

I just purchased this 34-36 Iver Johnson that I know nothing about. There are several things that are not correct, but I’m curious to learn all of what’s not correct. Does Park Tools make a tool to remove the crank arm nut? If not does anyone have one for sale? The nut is tight but there is...
