    Need Some Decal Help, Please!

    First of all, let me wish all of you health and happiness in these trying times. Now to the good stuff... or lack of it... I have a Schwinn High Sierra and I cant locate a decal set for it. Here's a pic: I've exhausted all of the searching that I know of. All of the decal suppliers have...

    Coronavirus effect on bike hobby?

    We're using this time wisely... I guess. My son is coming by today to borrow a shotgun and a 9mm pistol. Other than a .22 rifle, all he has is a 44 magnum revolver. Not great for home defense. He's made out quite good in his career, and he lives in a place they call "Money Hill." Naturally...

    I just found out my nephew got laid off yesterday. Now get this: You know things are getting rough when a guy gets laid off from a company that his FATHER is one of the company partners! :flushed::oops:o_O

    Coronavirus effect on bike hobby?

    Tonight we ducked out to get an Rx at the drugstore, and called in an order for some Chinese take-out otw home. The restaurant, which is usually slammed with people waiting in line, was completely empty. I remarked about it at the counter, and the gal who works there, also is a chef at the local...

    Well, the older Hinks are still desirable at least. My father used to work at the Hickley boatyard when I was a kid.

    Degreaser for Ultrasonic

    I have the smaller version of this UC. I think its the 5L version. The control panel looks the exact same. After looking at your post, I seriously wish I bought the larger one because I'm lucky to get a chain clean in mine, and like others here, I use Simple Green. I'll have to try your method...

    Coronavirus effect on bike hobby?

    No joke. I worry about that stuff also. You can never tell what you will find inside a package or even a frame. I was dismantling a '77 Fuji Special Racer. When I pulled off the drive-side BB cup, I noticed a "string" hanging out of the bottom of the down tube. I pulled it and got a nice...

    Is the hobby dying again?

    This is a very good point, Vince. I was thinking about this very thing earlier this morning. I believe the bike industry is evolving faster than we (old codgers who love antique bikes) can keep up with it. Just visit the GCN site or Bikerumor and you'll get plastered with new gadgets or a bikes...

    Is the hobby dying again?

    I restore and mod what I want, and if it sells, great. If not, then I try to apply the wisdom that in perhaps twenty years it will be worth a fortune. How many of you wrinkled up your noses at "old junkers" in the 1970's (like I did), and wished you hadn't done that! How many of you ignored...

    Swap meet...fix your price or negotiate?

    Full agreement here. Better to frown about the extra dollar spent than to pine away, thinking about what could have been. Its like when I buy on Craigslist. If they have a phone number, I'll call it. If they only give an email address for replies, I'll write to them and tell them I'll take it...

    RUDGE De Luxe...just picked it up.

    Same thing here from a fall I took on the ice 1.5 years ago. Five hours in surgery, 12 screws and a titanium plate, nine months in a series of casts, and PT, I feel fortunate for having 98% mobility in my fingers and wrist. I wish you ALL THE BEST and a speedy recovery! Work it. It hurts now...

    Schwinn Ace

    Would it be "acceptable" to the purists if I bought a pair of drop-center rims and powdercoated them ivory, then run a pinstripe down each side? What's the status quo on this? I really wish to keep this particular bike as OEM as possible. How does a part like a powdercoated old-school rim affect...

    I ordered a chromed feather chain guard from eBay, plus the cross decal that goes in the rounded spot. Do you guys think that is acceptable, or should I be looking for a painted chain guard? Also, if anyone knows where I can find a 26" drop-center rim for the front, I'd be happy as a clam at...

    Boiled linseed oil?

    I have a friend who is very passionate about old vises (not vices) and old anvils. When he rebuilds an old vise, he'll coat it with BLO and bake it at 200F for HOURS in his smoker outside. This relieves all of the stresses of the vise and after that he'll paint and polish it. They are truly...

    Is This a Colson?

    I just compared this bike to a 1947 Columbia frame that I already had, and its an exact match. The only difference being that the serial number on the one I already had starts with an L.

    Craigslist deal I just could not pass up. I believe this is a 1952, and if anyone could verify and tell me a little more about it, I would sure appreciate it. Serial number: C67349 24" front wheel. The rack is nice. Not bent at all. There was a weird hole drilled into it though...

    Is This a Colson?

    Hi Folks, Got this bike yesterday from a bike co-op that gives bikes to the homeless and those in need. I traded them six bikes that were more modern. The bikes I traded them were freebies, so other than my time I got this "Colson" for nothing. The lady I spoke with called it a Colson, but I...

    Dunelt Serial Number

    Dunelt Serial Number

    Hi Friends, I've been working on an old Dunelt 3-speed. The serial number, which is located on the top of the top seat tube lug, reads (to the best of my abilities) 675056. Has anyone sorted out these numbers? I certainly can't find anything definitive. Any advice would greatly be appreciated...
