Up For Sale: Early Prewar brown leather seat. Very good condition in my opinion. Nice patina typical wear, scratches, scuffs, some leather worn areas as expected. Includes the mounting clamp. I cant confirm if the mounting clamp is original. Small rip under seat notes circled in yellow pic...

Just finished this bike. Was a giant thorn in my side, nothing went smoorh. I learned a lot about bikes. Especially about a 1949 Gambles made Huffman Hiawatha. I have the tank, but think the lines on this frame are killer, so I kept it off. I went for a short spin around the block a few times...

Hello All, Can anyone share a pic of the correct boys bicycle stem for a 26” late 40’s Huffman. I have a few, and not positive of which one is correct. Some have stem “H” bolts. Some stems are branded “Wald” I have two that the handlebar “H” bolts dont screw down all the way but the “H” stem...

Thanks for the thorough response!

Thank You!

Anyone have a specific way to clean white wall tires? I just received a pair of 26”Carlisle Lightning Dart tires and besides using soap and water, are there ways to bring back the white on the tire? I just want to know possible solutions so I dont screw them up. Maybe even make them last longer...

Hahahahah! What i learned is the following… Bike rehab is for quitters! I will never take 8 months off from tinkering from bikes Don’t work 15 hours, then think its a dynamite idea to play with bikes. **I did have the wrong bearing cups. Quick fix. Bearings were “ Inside” bearing cup...

Thanks for the reply. You inspired me to use my brain. I figured it out. The “bell of shame” has been ringing in my head! My bike building privileges should be revoked!

Hey Cabers! Looking for some advice. I’ve been “off of bikes” for about 8 months. I just had a relapse. I’m attempting to reassemble the lower bracket. I have tried 3 diff sets of bearing cups. Finally I think iI have the correct ones and the “Race” (not sure if thats the correct term)? Is...

Hello. Does anyone have a springer yolk, and or spring for a Huffman springer fork, or something that can keep my 26” boys Huffman looking vintage. My blaster messed up, and i don't want to powder coat the entire fork, spring, yolk Im in a major jam and appreciate any suggestions, advice on how...

Stelber is early 50s. Im just shocked that this seat was on this bike. Thanks for the info. I have a bunch of people asking for me to sell it to them. I mean i dont have a bike for it. Whats a ballpark price would you think?

I purchased a rust bucket Stelber today. It had this awesome seat on it. The rest of the bike needs serious help. Im probably going to put it on the shelf until i find the right bike for it Was this seat original to a boys 26” Stelber? Is this a boys saddle? Have a great day!

Hello. Just stumbled onto your post, many years later. I have this bike, and just pretty much chased all the parts for the past year. Just looking for the correct seat now. Eould love to discuss more if you want?

Thanks for the quick reply. I would prefer the correct 1949 one. I dont love the long spring totally, so im open to other options as long as its is a “black boys persons.” Do you have one of those to sell?

Is this a “persons” seat?

In search of the following. 1940s style black boys “persons” saddle for a 26” 1949 Huffman. It should look like this. Please reach out DM. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the reply

I like them with the chew marks. Would they be correct for my 49 boys Huffman?

Hey Cabers! What is the difference between these 2 seats. Both are Troxel in and out. The seat on the right has heavier/stronger springs it seems. What years would these seat made. What bikes were these typically on? Can you soften up the leather?

My guess is 1950’s. I think its in great shape. Looking forward to ripping it apart, and cleaning her up. Any help with the exact year would be appreciated. Ride on!

Love it. Interested

Also do you have any other Huffman parts. Im looking for Bars, pedals, seat, rims? Thanks

Very interested. Do you know if this would be correct for an early postwar Huffman.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I appreciate it!

Hey Cabers, I may potentially buy this bike. All i have is this pic alone. I don't have the bike. A buddy reached out to me because he knows I love to lose money and time playing with bikes while I restore them. So he sent me this pic so he can buy for me. What are your thoughts? Could it be...

Not sure what this comment means exactly? Or if its directed towards me? All i did was post in the proper discussion platform. My apologies if you seen this bike, and if this thread is monotonous for you. If you have nothing positive to say, best choice is to zip it.
