    I Need Some Advice....

    I'm an old guy (81) with a collection down in the basement...and life issues dictate I sell 'em. If I just let the bikes sit, my three daughters will be faced with finding them new homes - and I'd like to save them the trouble. Most, are fairly rare bikes in my area (just outside Chicago) and...

    '38 Phillips - $500

    Here's a bike few people have probably ever seen (though I’m sure there are folks on this site who could read me chapter and verse on it. I’d appreciate any corrections they might offer). An original 1938 Phillips. (Ok...original, insofar as I can tell, except I cleaned it up, respoked it...

    Recognize this master link??

    This chain is from a not-terribly-old Batavus Old Dutch. I'd like to take the chain off the frame for cleaning, oiling, etc. - but I can't. The other side of this master link is a solid plate - no slots. How do you get this apart? Thanks.

    SA 3 speed hub w/coaster brake lock nut need

    I really need a locknut - I think it's part HM 132 - for my hub. It's nothin' more than a flat nut that holds the brake arm in place. I've attached a pic of my brake cone...plus a pic I got off the internet that pictures what I'm looking for. Anybody? (The hub is a SA AWC 3 speed with coaster...

    Reduced Japanese, German, Dutch, Italian herd thinning (50% off listed prices)....

    Space, time and health issues dictate a herd thinning. All of these bikes are rare enough that I know nothing/close to nothing about them (i.e., company history, year of manufacture, etc.). Insofar as I can tell, they're original (the Osawa has new spokes/freewheel); they all present well. If...

    CL and QR Codes...???

    Craigslist seems to have introduced QR Codes instead of the old "reply" button. Those QR thingys don't show up in any listing I view - therefore, no way for me to respond to a listing. Can anyone tell me how this is supposed to work? Thanks.

    A question for the paint prep experts...

    I'm restoring a '38 Raleigh X Frame...It's been glass bead blasted; two coats of a high-build primer. My plan is to paint it in a satin black enamel, with clear coats to give it a nice, but not over-the-top shine. More of a gleam. Anyways...there are still small former rust pits, here and there...

    An aerosol painting question.

    I'm going to be painting a frame. I want it in gloss black. Thing is, I seem to be better at spraying a semi-gloss. IF I used a semi-gloss/satin...and followed with multiple coats of gloss clear...would I wind up with a high gloss finish? I'll be using Rust-O-Leum products. Thanks.

    Lucas Silver King headlamp value??

    I'm trying to figure out the market value on a Lucas Silver King headlamp from the 30's - can anyone advise me what that might be? It'd be for one in "average" condition. I don't have one for sale. I'm just trying to find what a fair price might be; the internet hasn't been any help. Thanks.

    A continuous-loop cable??

    I'm restoring a 1938-ish Phillips with a period-correct Cyclo 3 Speed. The shift cables are frozen/broken. Upon disassembly...I discovered that it had not two shift cables - but just one. It's somehow formed into a continuous loop - joined by one of the fittings that seat in either the gear...

    A change in the direction of my collecting interests and a major health issue dictated selling off my Sears collection a while back. And this is the last of the lot. It's also the best.

    Shade tree fender dolly

    I had a fender that needed some hammer & dolly work...and I didn't have a dolly that would fit under the fender. I realized I had a hole cutter of exactly the same diameter. So I made/cut this. Far from elegant and at a low level, tool-wise (as is my skill set). But it worked.

    Rod brake rim vs non-rod brake rim??

    Can someone tell me if a rim designated for a rod brake will work on a non-rod brake bike? I'm trying to replace the rims on a '36 Adler - and 26" Westwood rims appear to have the profile that matches. Seems like the answer should be, "Yes". The Adler bike I have, has a paddle brake up front; a...

    Showa single speed freewheel hub very wanted...

    I really need this hub. Off a 50's (?) Japanese bike. My threads on the outer race are buggered up. Anyone have one?
