I'm looking to sell my '71 Racer; I have a '69 in Campus Green with a taller frame that fits me better. This is a nice (not perfect) original bike with a Sturmey-Archer. When I bought it about 10 years ago, I greased everything (not the hub - Sturmeys seem to last forever) and installed new...
Someone posted this bike from the Detroit area Craigslist here on the CABE about a week ago, and I went to pick it up today. It looks pretty good - I think it will clean up well. It has a manual Bendix 2-speed that will need some work; one of the gears is freewheeling/trying to find a gear...
Hi everyone,
I saw this National bicycle at the local antique store in my hometown of Bay City, MI (where Nationals were made). I know very little about them, but I've always been intrigued by them since I like bikes and they were built here. They're asking $1500 for it, which seems like...
My '72 Raleigh has a rattle in the back that I've narrowed down to the rear fender attachment. It's the little clip that goes over the frame at the lower front of the back fender. Has anyone experienced this and, if so, done something to fix it?
I've torn apart a '69 Heavy-Duti I bought from a coworker for $20. It's not in super great shape, but it'll do for a beater - the fenders are smashed, the seat is broken and covered with some rock hard goop that somebody used for lube, the front wheel was peeling (although I was able to use...
It looks like these axles are tough to find. I have one that's about 5 1/4 inches long with flat ends that is stripped out. Any good ideas for axle replacement? I still have the original cones and bearings that I'd like to use. I've seen that some people will use a threaded rod and cut it to...
Like many of you, I'm starting some winter projects to pass the time. I've had a neglected '69 Heavy-Duti sitting around, and I'm planning to get it on the road as a nice-ish beater (removing the beat up fenders, etc.). Unfortunately, the front rim's chrome is peeling. I have a spare front...
I have what looks to be original pedals on my '72 Raleigh, the ones that are not conventionally rebuildable. I've read a few ideas online, and mine are clattery like the bearings are loose, so I'd like to give it a shot. Any ideas? They look pretty cool, so I hope I can just put some new ball...
After owning this bike for 10 years, I just figured out why it clatters over bumps. The kickstand won't allow the rear fender to clip over the frame. Does anyone know what kickstands these came with originally (if any), so I can find one that fits correctly? In the worst case, I could do some...
I'm slowly getting my Bicentennial Sting-Ray cleaned up and greased, and someone really manhandled the front axle and bearings. The axle has mangled threads and is bent, and someone broke one of the bearing cages.
Is this a standard part on Sting-Rays, one I could get at the local bike...
Hello,
I'm new here but not new to old bikes; my current count is 19, including a Bicentennial Sting-Ray I picked up last week in Ann Arbor. It has some paint scuffs and dings I'd like to touch up, being that it's white and they're quite noticeable. Does anyone have a good color...
