@JRE reminded me of this find. A younger cousin of the Spitfire, a 1958 Tornado 24". Sure wish I could find boys bicycles this nice!

I found a couple of yard relics I believe. A 1937 American Flyer and 1940 Elgin, the elgins front fork is froze! Happy Easter all.

I purchased this rescue bike and would like to know maker and year if possible. It has flat fender braces and rear braces are riveted to the dropstand bracket. Serial number looks to be Y5100 on bottom bracket. Also what to do with the rims that look to be very rusted, any way to clean em up...

I need help and any info you can give me on this frame, its 16" and looks to be for 24" wheels. the serial number looks to be 4B944, no head badge

you meet the smartest people on FB. Reminded me of the olden times, what was it? you meet the nicest people on a Honda

Heres my find a real nice as found Anthony Bros. Convert-o aluminum tricycle

I got this 1948 Monark that the Head(badge) hunters cannibalized. Should be a good rat rod candidate if nothing else.

Perfect! thanks Shawn. btw working on those squats for the butt cheeks- easy on the way down but hard for an old man to get back upright(gritting my teeth smiley face)

I just got this repainted, cannibalized by head(badge) hunters, Monark? 26" bicycle. I need help with ID and model, and are the truss rods bent out of original shape? if they are rebent, its a perfect job. It looks like the serial number may be missing a digit, maybe a 0 after the 1. It has a...

all are in good condition being stored inside for many years. 1) Schwinn Suburban 5 speed, will need tires 1holds air 1 tube needs repair. 2) Phillips- black, Strumey Archer 3 speed looks to be 1971, good tires. 3) Huffy Timberline-maroon, 3 speed Shimano, good tires. 4) Huffy Regatta-white, 3...

the offer had better be close to advertised price, its a beautiful bicycle. Just remember the first word we learned to speak ;) the front tire is gone, had a huge blowout and i had to replace it. all i have done to it is wash it off and change the tire. thanks for your interest, gene

I found a fairly complete Colson made 1941 ? Goodyear Hi-way Patrol. I don't think the dropstand is original as its black, repainted rims with mountain bike tires and missing the chain, grips. Date code looks to be E1 and has a morrow hub dated K2. Anyone know what the tab over the rear...

@Freqman1 what builds cheek muscles? once my pants slip off my belly they are on a freefall to my knees!!!!

This Goodyear Hi-way Patrol looks to be May 1941 with a Morrow rear hub dated K2 that backs up the code on BB. More pics on show and tell 3-3. Please correct me if wrong, thanks

take it to someone with a shop press, easy fix usually

My favorite gripe about ebay- free listing with stupid prices. renew listing until your clicker finger wears so short it won't reach the renew button. Maybe they are brudders from udder mudders

Click "forums" tab top left of page, scroll to bottom and click "bicycle restoration tips" or do a search for cleaning paint and chrome. that should get you all the info you need. if not get back to me and i'll give you some info on what i use. gene

I don't think you can put it back together from the wrong side. the brake assembly only fits in one side on all the ones i have taken apart. bendix and perry

I use this @#$+ on every thing- rubber stuff not hot dogs. seriously too bad you didn't leave one grip open and wrap one to see if wrapping is necessary. I have found it soaks in until you have enough on. GOOD STUFF

I have lowered price and will part out if no one wants the whole bike

This bike looks to be original except for the hand grips, maybe handlebars? and the front rim is a different design from rear and is less rusty. the front hub looks to be Elgin. Tires are 26 x 1.75. It has a different looking rear reflector. The paint on fenders is thin in some places. THERE IS...

Too many negative snow pics today. Heres my pic to get things back on track. By the way I can just about match the white stuff in last posts and we are not done yet😝

Forgot to mention rear tire is crap, front looks like NEW

Heres my contribution. A 1995 Schwinn Phantom on NY day and home after a 600 mile round trip Jan 2.

Nice bike for its age and it looks to be original except for newer pedals. 26" tires. I would rather sell local pickup but will consider shipping it. Cost to ship will be another $50 plus actual shipping. Feel free to ask questions or for more pics.

they are balloon tires- 2.125. thanks guys

I hope someone can at least supply me with the maker of this bike. The serial number shown is on dropout and it has a perry hub. the headbadge is beyond reading but maybe the shape will help. Any ideas of how to possibly bring it back? THANKS for any opinions. Oh, how did i do straightening the...

sorry i never answered you. first thanks for the info. yes i measured OD. So to find more info on it I would search for info on a 28" rim? same as bicycle rims called by the size of the tire that works on them? I need to find a value as i have a person interested in it. Thanks again, gene

I am asking for info for a friend. Searched images on the net last night until everything blurred. The closest I can find so far is the chain guard is a match for colson built tris but haven't found anything with exact frame, close but no cigar yet

LOVE the turkey cartoon!!

I purchased this prewar Schwinn DX ? yesterday a sale near me. It looks to be original except for some tweaks along the way. Someone sprayed the fender braces and ends with silver, changed out the right pedal running a (hopefully) NF bolt through it, wrong rear reflector and a non Schwinn front...

veeeeeerrrrrry funny bob ;) this should make ya happy, it made me sad. not even a schwinn front on a nice dx I picked up today. maybe I will start a collection of? what would you call em- misfits? 😵‍💫🤑

I can't find any information on this tricycle and hope a caber can help. It has happi time on chain guard and faintly on the head print, not a metal badge but printed on the frame. I would like appx age and manufacturer. thanks for any help

That makes sense. I just wondered if Schwinn may have used up old stock and may have put the drop center on the front instead of the rear for some reason

I have an original 48 Autocycle with a knurled S-2 rear and drop center front wheel. I recently saw a girls Autocycle, year unknown, with the same configuration. Have any others encountered this? I have read in 2 books that 1948 was the first year for the knurled rim. Need help from the experts...

I cleaned out an old bicycle shop that everything from a set of 1933 Ford spoked wheels, with stickered tires, to NOS rain gutter fenders. This wheel I can only guess may have been from an early motorcycle. It is heavy made exactly 24 1/8" diameter, 2" wide, 1 1/4" inside the rolled wall, the...

Everybodys doin it, doin it. Pickin their nose and chewin it, chewin it. They think its gum- but itsnot!

Whoops forgot something!

I have 3 skiptooth chains for sale. THERE ARE SOME STIFF LINKS BUT NONE ARE FROZEN. #1 looks to be diamond brand- it is 58 5/8" long to the center of each end link, no master link. #2 is the roughest no brand marks that i could find. It is 58 1/8" long has a master link. it looks like it was...

10 available New dropstand clips. Check pics for measurements. I put them next to Westfield clip on a 1937 Empire bicycle and its an exact match. I also compared to an old BF Goodrich clip which looks to be Schwinn built and they are close but these have a dip before where the stand goes and the...

2 mudflaps that look to be new. they measure 7 1/4" long and 6" wide. there is some tarnish on the metal but no rust. $15 each plus actual shipping.

Frame is 21.5"

I have had requests for shipping so it will be $185 (125 + 60 for teardown and packing)for the bicycle plus the cost to ship it. The tires are good for display only. Here are additional pictures

This is a nice original bicycle. The first year the collegiate was produced, a single speed model. There is minor rust on the frame and bad rust in a couple spots on the rims. The headbadge and seat are as found I didn't touch them. The tires hold air ok but I would replace them to ride it. Best...

21.5"

This is a nice original bicycle. Missing the correct seat and the chrome is rusted on the rims, the only 2 blemishes I could find. Best to call 3one5 568 6one68 for faster answers as I am only on computer at 8am or 7pm. Feel free to ask questions or for more pictures. Located In Seneca Falls...

lmk if you want pics of this one on the thread. i was wrong on the code what i thought was c was actually E9 and no letter before serial. ND model D hub. what i found odd was the front fork had holes for axle instead of slots. another one with no badge, gene

thanks Adrian, Do you want this on your westfield serial # thread? I also have a repainted girls bike with C9 code if i remember correctly. will post if also if you want or i can send pics to you first to see if you want it posted. THANKS much for the info, gene

I would like any info you all have on this bike. If its in wrong forum please move. I would like to know the year and brand if possible, heres what i know: serial is K42660, new departure hub, 19" frame, blue with gold pin along blue/white. Chain is loose and moves wheel when you pedal and a...

@SKPC asked me to post this late 40s(per @slick) Flyer with X18648 serial number.
