It happened! For those of you who may have seen my previous posts about racing my 1948 Dayton Huffman in the Michigan Gravel Racing Series, this past weekend was the first race to actually include a class for vintage bikes. It was the Dirty 30 Gravel Race in Saranac, MI and the vintage class...

Some of you may remember me posting up last year about my 1948 Dayton Huffman gravel racing bike. Well, over the winter, I decided to beef up a couple of things and fix a few parts that had broke from the previous racing season. So here is the next revision (so far). I had a set of 700c...

Edit: info I'm finding says a 1947 based on the serial number. Seat post clamp style resembles post war version as well. Never fails....any time I come within 10 feet of a vintage bicycle, it seems to follow me home. Hahaha. Headbadge say Fleet Wing, looks like maybe a post-war CWC? All I know...

1936 Monark SilverKing, rider quality. Aluminum frame with no signs or cracking or damage. Bars, seat post, seat, pedals are reproductions (I believe), has new tires and chain, overall good condition. Personally, I would put a nicer wheel set on it (in the correct 24" size as these are 26") if I...

For Sale: Huffy Radio Bike, 1955, in pretty good shape. Here is what I know about it: Mostly original. The radio has the internals in the tank, as well as the antenna, but the internals for the battery box are missing. The grips are not original and I question if the chainguard is correct. The...

Picked up this interesting bike today. It seems to be a Gambles Hiawatha badged lightweight. New departure black hub with coaster brake, skiptooth chain and sprockets, dogbone cranks, stem with the bolt on the top side. No idea what is original and what is not, what year or who made it, but I...

Just wanted to share a project dear to me. It's my 1948 Dayton Huffman. Stripped the frame bare to show off the beautiful brazed joints, slapped a set of 700c rims laced to a Shimano 7-speed IGH on the rear and a Shimano drum brake hub on the front, wrapped in a set of 700x40 cream tires. Other...

I believe this bike is from the early '30s. Schwinn The World badged ladies bike, 28" wheels, looks like it was originally blue with white stripes on the fenders. The serial number looks to be 474214 and the date code on the crank looks like it says AS 30. Not sure how original it is, but it...

Hot rodding on a budget? I swapped a wheelset from another bike of mine, so these are lighter aluminum rims, freshly greased bearings (both wheels and bottom bracket), smoother/softer compound tires, put a smaller rear sprocket (20T instead of 22T), a new chain (which should have less...

So a friend of mine offered me this old bicycle for free that he had as he's not really into them like modern bikes. I wouldn't take it for free, so he said to grab a bottle of wine with a cool label on it to trade. DEAL! Not really sure what year or make it is. No head badge, Sprocket makes me...

So my girlfriend has not one, but TWO Pink Lady bicycles made in West Germany. She found the first one (on the right) about 5 years ago and brought it back to life though it was missing many original parts. The one on the left we just picked up. It'll need a total going over but looks to be very...

Hi! New user out here. Been wrenching on old bikes for about a year or two now and figured I would post some up on The CABE. Took my '53 JC Higgins mountain biking the other day for the first time after the build. It had been sitting outside for many years and was a bit crusty (but has a...
