    1937 rollsfast

    Good morning group. I’m wondering if anyone would be kind enough to share a little wisdom and advice with a newbie fixer/restorer? I’m looking at a 24 inch 1937 rollfast (supposedly “deluxe” but no tank). It is only the frame and trussed forks. What would be a fair price to pay for the frame and...

    50’s 24” perry hub painted wheel set

    24 inch Perry coaster hub rear, and the front axle says “made in western Germany”. These came off of a 1950’s Ross thunderjet. Both wheels spin very straight, without the slightest hint of a wobble. The paint is flaking spotty but they would be great for the patina look. The oil port is missing...

    Sold “Klaxon” horn

    It works great, and it’s LOUD!! Klaxon(?) horn. There are no markings on it that I can find, but it sounds like an “oogah” horn. A previous owner had painted it gold. I was able to get most of the paint off but there’s a dot here and there that shouldn’t be too much work to remove. Nice patina...

    Selling shipping wheels

    Hi. I’m looking for advice on selling and shipping wheels. I have a very nice set of painted 1950’s Perry 24” wheels with really nice snake belly tires.

    Monark girls head shroud for mens bike

    I have a girl’s head tube shroud that was in rough condition, so I cut off the point and trimmed the end to see if it could be made to fit a mens bike. Only problem is is that I don’t have a mens tank monark. It doesn’t fit my ward’s/Snyder real well but it looks like it could fit my Hiawatha...

    Old rubber

    Good morning CABE dwellers. I see a few posts here and there about old tires on occasion and it’s surprising what prices pop up for some of them, but recently I came across a set of tires that really just blow my mind, and I’d like to hear what “the pros” (you guys, 😎) think about a value for...

    X53 western flyer

    Hi. I am now the proud owner of a crusty western flyer X53 project. The fenders had been chopped and foolishly I thought “no problem. I have a nice set to replace them with “. Well the joke was on me, eh? I had no idea that these fenders are exclusive to this bike. Now my project just became a...

    Where is my whizzer serial number

    Hi group. I finally got myself a genuine whizzer, a ‘48 pacemaker. I spent the week stripping it down (it had already been repainted) and I’ll be damned if I can find a number on it anywhere. Nothing on the BB. Nothing on the seat tube or head tube either. Is it possible this one didn’t have a...
