    Fresh find. what did I get?

    I will be corrected if I'm wrong but I don't recall Hawthorne(wards) ever offering a CWC bike that was a Straightbar(the lower of two upper bars is straight). So, Roadmaster or Western Flyer are possible Badges. They're definitely were curved bar and straightbar models during the same...

    1948 Dayton Huffman Gravel Racing Bike

    From a riding/racing perspective, I can see wanting the drum brake. On the other hand, I think these old bikes don't look so good with a lot of cables. For that reason alone, I think I'd go with the coaster.

    Sold 72' Miyata Pro - Actual team racing bike.

    Great! I'd be interested to know the original owner's name, if you find out, especially if he was from Des Moines-- I started racing in 1978(amateur) out of Iowa City. maybe someone I know or know of.

    Sold 72' Miyata Pro - Actual team racing bike.

    That bike is most likely from about 1981-- with that particular decal and the sloped-crown fork. Brazed cable guides and various other features(typical 80s Japanese lug work) suggest it's an eighties bike rather than 70s.

    Well, Davenport Ia. Chief Blackhawk motorcycle swap meet approaches (aug. 31 to sep. 2). I'm wondering how many of you are going. I'll be there hunting for one very specific motorcycle and keeping an eye out for some others in certain categories. This year, I'll make a point of wearing BICYCLE...

    Please Help Me In Identifying And Pricing This Older Peugeot 10 Speed For Sale U08??

    For future reference, when looking at old road bikes, you will always know that you are looking at a lower end model (and likely low value) bike if the rear dropouts are stamped and not forged---it's the quickest way to tell. That said, as others, point out, there can still be items of good...

    Seat pin stuck in an ALAN frame... suggestions?

    It seems the likely culprit was dialectric , galvanic, corrosion. I know, it's aluminum on aluminum--but the other metal is sodium. When these types of frames came out, the shop I worked at had a number come back in short order with the stems hopelessly stuck. (we sold Vitus screwed and glued...

    Help with make and year

    For sure, this bike could have been other than a Hawthorne--or a Hawthorne, but lesser than the deluxe. I suggested looking for the holes because they would be definitive that its a Hawthorne. Don't know of any other use of this frame, by other names, that had the turn signal switch. (someone...

    Help with make and year

    it's Snyder built and from the 50's. Look for evidence of two small holes on the top of the top bar a little(about 4 1/2" to 6" for the two holes) back from the steering tube---they would be mounting holes for turns signal switch that would I.D. the frame as a Hawthorne Deluxe. As stated above...

    1980s?? Medici pro strata road bike find

    If it is equipped as built, It would have to be late, as Juvela suggests, and I think likely '84. Shimano 105 didn't exist until 1982 and that odd grey finish is certainly a second or third iteration (maybe even later--105 got a reboot in '86) most likely the bike would have come with Shimano...

    ID Help Needed!

    Could be prewar or, as stated above post-war. it would have to be early post war--the truss rods changed and so did elements of the fork itself. Post a pic of the number on the bottom bracket please. The date code (as rolfaster's example-EH74) is a reverse code--so 74 would indicate 47...

    Some rare 30” Torrington handle bars . Super wide and long pull back

    I would swear those are the bars I had on my '35 Rugby (shapleigh) motobike. The original owner(my highschool friend's dad) had a name for them and said that he had special ordered them from the options in the catalogue. Many years later, I have seen Shapleigh catalogue pages, from the period...

    Amazing 1899 Perks & Birch Motorwheel!

    Great evidence! The Hall-Herault Process was patented in 1884(ish)--before that aluminum was quite rare and expensive. Obviously manufacturers took advantage of the lower cost right away.

    Amazing 1899 Perks & Birch Motorwheel!

    wow. what a beautiful rear wheel without the motor! It would be easy to think it's cast aluminum but there is about no chance(a patented method for producing pure aluminum cheaply was issued a couple years earlier and nobody would have gained the casting skills that quickly). Cast steel, or...

    To good to be true, if it is should I go? Update I went.

    the road bike that looks like it was painted silver is most likely from Japan and shows the quality(for real) of Japanese "off the rack" bikes from the 80's. could be nice with some work.

    RUGBY BICYCLE FROM SHAPLEIGH HARDWARE

    I was under the impression that the maker changed over the years--as it did for other retailers--but I don't know that. My ideal year is a '35 rugby to replace one that I once had(please let me know of any year you have). It might not be too hard to determine the maker of a 1935--I've seen...

    What Is Actually For Sale?

    my guess is that he listed once trying to sell the whole thing. When he couldn't sell it, he started trying to sell parts but used his old listing--changed the title but not the old info--lazy.
