Heck…..all my bikes are rats! Just love em my way! Hahaha!

My black 54 is my favorite rider!

Think ya need a teenager to hook ya up! Lmao!

Looks like we both need better seats! Hahaha!

Took the 1950 red phantom rat out for a little joyride this morning! Really needed a ride to clear the ole noodle! Lmao!

My work in progress. Stacked washers, square nuts, and stainless steel rollers

I’m thinking a queen of hearts, joker and a couple of aces!

which came first….the Schwinn or the Chevy!? Hahaha

Freebie 1996 phantom repop frame and parts in the garage.

You definitely have a gem! Love it!

Refer to the ‘45 dx thread on the cabe

Clearly a 46 hub

The cam is what the other 45’s I’ve seen look like. My thoughts are that maybe frame was made late 45 and assembled early 46? Purely speculation. 3 things stand out to me as 1945….the tube upper bracket, dog leg crank and kick stand cam

*cam

What’s the pin that holds the kick stand in look like? Let’s see what the kick stand can end too please!? Dog leg crank as well as the tapered kick stand are early too.

That round tube style upper fender mount may even make it a 45! Nice find!

41 project and a 62 American

Hello Caber’s! It’s that time of year again! Come join us for the saint Patrick’s day parade and festival! We had a great turnout last year and are expecting the same this year! Would love to see some more Caber’s there this year! Saturday the 16th in Dublin California!

Porkchop’s patina potion is half white vinegar, half hydrogen peroxide and a pinch of salt mixed in a spray bottle. It’ll rust bare metal right before your eyes! You can have 50 years of rust in a matter of a few days!

Absolutely amazing beautiful work!!

Love those convertible tanks!

Really like that you included the back story as well! Some great looking rudes! Love it!

I know this is a super old thread but this is what it’s all about for me! Get to share these old school rides with folks young and old alike is the magic about them for me! I’ve turned many of young and older into vintage bike aholcs and seize every opportunity to share this with anyone who...

I had to go back and check that photo and it’s the correct vin. I took a bunch of pictures of it the first day I bought it home and it’s in that group. Think it’s just a terrible photo cause the camera focused on my face instead of the frame.

Not a great photo but it’s the only one I have.

Hey! Just a thought….maybe in 1949 is when the decal changes? Let me see if I took a photo of the vin number

Brought this 49 back to life last year and found this decal on it! The first bike you pictured in this thread screams 1948 to me! Those non knurled s2’s are the first year and only year without the knurled rim. Also has a small badge and a sliding rail seat. Nice bike!

A place for the beer money and a perfect fit box! Lmao! Or saddle bags and a bungee

Love those wheel bells!

Honestly never did the research for myself to confirm the names of the colors. Many others have referred those color names on these two bikes

My 62 American and 41 project

Cool badge Ozzie! First time I’ve seen a bfg badge like that! Pretty cool! Did a nice clunker build for my son with the 56 middleweight I found. Can’t wait to see what you do with yours!

Good morning Caber’s! Jose has rolled several fenders for me and I highly recommend his services! Thank you Jose!

Glad you kept that piece!

Did you try to clean, lube and reinstall the original cam? That cam is one of the identifiers of a 45. It would be nice to keep it in there.

This eagle mag cleaner has always worked wonders for me!

Love those shell casing grips!

Nice find Dave429! I put together a 38 model c awhile back! Fun frame to start with!

For me personally….i think there’s room for everyone’s take on this. Weather you ride em or hide em it’s all about the people and the connections you have. From your family and friends to the perfect stranger. Most people have a connection to a bicycle. Balance in this hobby is what keeps it all...

Oops! Sorry about that!

Nope. Just my favorite

All I could see in the photo is a phantom! Hahaha

Good morning Caber’s! I’ve had the pleasure of buying bike parts from sj biker on a personal level for years now. This man is a historical fact and artifact finder. I have the upmost respect for his passionate persistance in this wonderful hobby! For me personally….weather or not this sign...

Just thinking about kick starting that ankle breaker is making me limp! 😂

Is it possibly a dealership decal?

This one is a 96.

I do believe that the Dyno roadster is the second generation and the original stretch would be the Dyno coaster
