Not sure if they started together, but staying together for the next generation.... sold them for 50 bucks to the hippy kid down the street for him and his son, so that's cool.......might steal the slimline tank back.

Sorry, Not for sale.

I think these are both 1977, a project for the boy and i that we outgrew.. these are old pics..mix of original and repro pretty cool..have new pics upon request. local pickup in western NY or can travel a bit for a relay. not worth shipping. 400 for the pair.

Very cool.

Yeah Mitch, A little rough, but.....damn cool....can't wait to see yours when its done. And thanks again, wheels are nice.

Thanks.

Poor beat up 68 orange krate. not sure why i grabbed it, but.....I probably will fix it someday.

Finally finished. Mocked up for display, but ready for tires...1902ish Pierce Pan am with the correct rear and front flangeless hub, early dimpled fork and cool original leaf/coil laclede seat. Pretty crappy condition, but......serviced and smooth...great look. I'll probably ride this one...

The 1930 Elgin got a mccauley tank....not for everyone, but "the Niagara" has a cool distrestoration look for me.

1895 Buffalo cycles Envoy.....thanks to Reed @Underground Bicycle Shop for a good deal on the early clincher wheels and hubs, and Jesse @Jesse McCauley. for making some nice chains available. This tall boy is back......ready to ride.

This poor elgin got the restomod treatment with parts I had laying around....."new" fake patina paint and 3 speed upgrade....kick arse Niagara badge....some old and repro bits gives it a nice new lease on life.

Nice wheels...rubenas have it lookin good.

I use tufo tape with good results......get them real clean. I use some stout hockey stick tape for spoke protection sometimes. never had a failure. I don't ride hard on old wheels though.....smooth and slow. Many of mine are fixed gear ....no brakes.. so, you know, ......ride as fast as you...

Thanks Reed, PM sent.

Mine are all emblem angola built, that looks to be a different make. Colson and others badged TA Rick bikes. @MonkeyWrenching has something similar.

It's attached to a 1953 traveler frame....I put this together for fun, but it's relatively useless....come get it in WNY for 50 bucks. pretty cool 70's novelty friction drive thing made to run on a car battery......test drove it today on a beat boat battery......ran "great" till the dry rotted...

$275

I finished the "Niagara"...some artistic and functional liberties were taken for reasons.......Nice three speed elgin.

PM sent......nice.

The pierce Pan am hub has been reunited with the bike, thanks to my buddy mitch. [email protected] display, but ....this thing is getting there.

Niagara...1930 Westfield Elgin.

My rider 1905 pierce chainless got a spring fork upgrade for dual cushion comfort......pretty nice patina match....a little nickel plate still there.....looks nice.

Found.....thanks all.

Looking for a straight decent 32 hole front wheel wood hoop.

You could not have said it better. This site, and the instant researchable knowledge means a lot to some of us.

Selfishly I love the pierce thread, which has evolved and helps when looking for period correct parts etc.....I would hope to expand on someday. While I don't always care on more modern stuff, Knowledge on these and other TOC items fascinates me. I say keep poking around.

Thank you, Obviously if it were critical I wouldn't be screwing around on a bike site. At least I have a "few bikes" to help with rehab. And a hobby to keep me sane.

Had a bad week, My wife took a bad hit in a head on collision which left her with two broken legs, and other issues.....after a few days of hospitals and being a full time nurse I got a minute to open a nice package from Jeff....@Rustngrease. Nice pierce spring fork that will make it...

Larkin did not manufacture bicycles, but as you may know was known for manufacturing soap....etc.and a mail order catalogue similar to sears. Likely multiple manufacturers badged the "chautauqua" here is one from the museums collection that looks to be possibly emblem built. Really cool...

Another late Buffalo built 188833 for reference.... not sure I ever posted it here.

Sort of my question from the start Brant, I have been disappointed with overcleaning in the past.......still when a guy knows there is paint, nickel,etc.. that would come around with some effort it's hard not to start cutting away the dirt and grease. I think the grime will stay, and.....after...

Pictures may not show but ......real neat "Casco button tread.....Buffalo NY" Tires got massaged back onto the rims so that they spin nice for display ...then a gentle wd40 wipedown.....pulled the headbadge and think this is original Carmine/green paint. ......easy decision to leave this as is...

It is Dave, as you can see I attached it to the original frame that came on this bike.....hope you don't mind that I significantly darkened it, and will likely scuff and dust it to match the banged up look. Very nice work you do, I recommend your parts to many. Glad to see the pics and...

I chased the blue tank for a while.....finally found it. Thanks scott, @ivrjhnsn .

I can't decide whether to "lightly clean" this one or not....still don't know if it's an emblem built or another buffalo built .....maybe globe? .......2 inch drive pin on crank.....maybe original paint with crude pins......not sure.... has original casco tires, which are super cool and a nice...

go back a few posts on this thread...blacked out strada bianca 700x40....price to USA is still a little over 100 per tire......nice tires though.

It helps to have a small pudgy bike friend....makes 20 and 24 inch worth it.

Deal at 300, Thanks for bidding.

Sorry for the lousy pics, and description.......the glue is heavy where the stem meets the housing, and where the housing is cracked in two places. the stem is not brazed, and is not damaged. the clamp is a modern frame pump clamp that I modified, Hull manufacturing script is present. the...

Well, I don't know.......maybe not hull, but it would look good on a beater firestone supreme......glue all over it, no base clamp, short shaft, cracks.....issues, but cool.....someone could use this.

Thanks @Rusty72 PM sent.

Deal at 275.

No deal so far.

end cap is a repro ...otherwise decent original paint and decals
