Holy cow that is so beautiful.

That is beautiful. Love the propeller.

Great job. That's such a sweet bike.

You will find out that you do once you get on the road. Cheers

Good luck with it that's a great price.

That's a great price for your Lemond. I was looking a while back and they were going upwards to 1,000. I was also looking for an older Dura Ace group set such as the one on the bike and they were going for 600-800. I'd say 250 is a steal.

Do you still have #5 the Brooks B17?? I'll take it if you do. Thanks

Holy cow, the chain ring is almost as big as the wheels. Great looking bike.

Hi There, Do you still have #5 the Brooks B17?? Thank you, Mike

That's because your a buyer. It's different for sellers. They are taking a good chunk of our sales.

Very nice. What size is the frame?? And are those 26" or 28" wheels??

Good afternoon, I have a 1928 Schwinn Ben Hur with 28" wheels that is in need of a drop stand. Anybody have one that your not using??? Cheers, Mike

Was this your dads bike?? Any history on it??

I was sent this image from a fellow CABER and used it.

I got my braking problem fixed on my 27 Ben Hur. The crank would turn a full revolution before stopping the bike, no bueno. I had a brake liner machined for me by a local machinist. I also replaced the transfer spring. The brake engages a whole lot better now.

Did he ever tell you how much of a payoff for the cops it was??

5,556 miles for a kid, holy cow

I worked in a bike shop for years and only built wheels twice. To say it's tricky is an understatement. Good job and on your first try. Outstanding

That is so cool.

Are those 26" tires?? Thanks, Mike

Thanks Sean, I'm an idiot. I didn't see his website address until after I sent the note. Cheers, Mike

Thank you, I'll take it. Just need an email and name so I can send you the funds.

Good evening Andrew, I got your name here on the CABE. I understand you might be the to look for when it comes to painting bikes. I have a Schwinn Hornet that I'd like to get painted. Is this something you can do?? Thank you, Mike

I'm in need of the ever elusive Iver Johnson crankset wrench. Thanks, Mike

Hi there, Do you happen to still have one of these wrenches?? Thanks, Mike

Nice job. It still has a lot of soul left in it.

Wow, that's pure magic. Great looking bike

WOW, very cool

Not yet. I put it on the back burner to allow the hair to grow back were I was scratching my head at on this one. I'm sure I'll come up with something.

What a beauty. Steel frames have so much soul.

WOW, you are a bigger man than I. I think in the back of my mind I'd be asking myself, "would my family be more comfortable in the garage"? At least your family will know what a big sacrifice you made for them.

Thank you I will. I really appriciate this.

Good Evening, I have an old Ben Hur with 28" wheels. The rear wheel spins almost a whole revolution before it stops. I was told here that you can add a shim to the inside to help it brake better. I'm over my head on this one. Anyone out there know how to do this?? Thank you, Mike

Those were the days. Beautiful bike.

It's pretty cool how they preserved the boxes by taking the contents out and laying them flat. If not most if not all would have been destroyed. Great find.

Thanks, sometimes I'm an idiot. Well most times

Hi Greg, Payment has been sent. My info; Mike Encinias 431 E. Spring St., Napa, CA 94559. Thank you

Hi Greg, If there still available, I'll take them, Mike

Can you post a picture of the spacers. I'm in need of two. I think I can make them, but it hard to find the time. Thanks

This is listed on craigslist in Santa Rosa, CA . He's asking 200. https://images.craigslist.org/00303_8lqBOVD7KqP_600x450.jpg

Thanks guys, this helps a lot.

Where do I get the sleeves for this? Thank you

Hi There, Anyone out there know how to repair/rebuild a 1927 New Departure rear hub? It has a faded stamp that reads A1?? When I apply the brakes the crank spins 1/2 to 3/4 way before stopping. Any help is appreciated, Mike

She sold this morning and is no longer available. Hated to see her go, but she went to a good home

Nice job-beautiful bike. Great find

Hi There, what size frame is this bike? Are the rims clincher or the sew up kind? What would shipping to Napa , CA 94559 be?

I have the tabs that attach to the rear.

Hi There, What size frame is this?? Thank you, Mike

Hi There, What size frame is this? Also are those the sew up type of tires? Thanks, Mike

Good Morning Everyone, I'm looking for a 28" drop stand for a Schwinn motorbike. Thanks, Mike
