While dutifully cleaning the gutters at my in-laws house this afternoon, I spy a few bikes over the fence... A department store girls Schwinn cruiser and some cheap early 90’s MTB. But what’s that behind the shed? My first Schwinn, and free! It appears to be a 1960’s era pink Hollywood...

Can a fellow CABE’r help I.D. these two frames my brother found this morning while out on a farm in Idaho. Head badges are sun bleached. I’ve asked him to bring them both back. One says ‘Job Corps’ on the fender. The rear drop out is a very unusual design? Thank you!

It just occurred to me, correct me if I am wrong; that girls pedals, Torrington’s as an example, can be converted to boys pedals with new reproduction blocks and longer hardware. Am I missing something?

I showed this bike the day I pulled it from the generations deep family barn a few months ago. Thought I’d share it as it sits today. It is missing the head badge and a chain guard. The original tires were shot (Wards Riverside Mate 20x2.125). I had a new set of modern BMX tires by KINK, size...

I assume they are, but before I buy any reproduction pedal blocks, can a fellow CABER confirm that fitment is a nonissue between Torrington’s 8 & 10? I am looking to change to brick red pedal blocks on my 8’s and found these available for 10’s. Color change to better match the patina of my...

Pedal question. Torrington’s vs Persons? Were both companies suppliers of pedals on New bicycles? In the 30’s? 40’s? 50’s? I assume Torrington’s were, along with handlebars, etc. Were Persons an aftermarket upgrade? More special? On higher end bikes? Yes or no? Yes and no? Would it...

Springer fork mod I thought I’d share with the CABE. One of those brainstorm ideas that can only come from 7 weeks of C-19 isolation As a life long BMX’er, I just haven’t been satisfied with the ‘performance’ attributes of my springer fork. I built a Huffy Roadside frame to look like...

I was given this Coast to Coast Sportsman for free today. Thankful to have a project to work on, even if it’s not my cup of tea. 3 Speed hardware is missing, as is the front brake and lever. Perhaps I’ll just ride it as a single speed? Has a Schwinn seat and what looks to be a much earlier era...
