I’m looking for this kickstand. I believe it is a Berry Cohen kickstand. Patent number is 1984299. There are a few different versions but I am looking for one like in this photo (picture borrowed from “cstorar”). Please let me know if you might have something. Thank you.

Im hoping someone can help me out with this. I’m working on finishing up an Elgin Robin project and I need a kickstand for it. This isn’t a restoration. I’ve seen some of these bikes with drop stands but I’m not going that route because I’m running an original Skylark rear fender and it won’t...

I was recently looking at an old chart of bearing part numbers. I noticed that Westfield is broken down into “Westfield old” and “Westfield new” with different bearings part numbers for each. Does anyone know when the switch took place? I’m trying to find some headset bearings for a 1936 Elgin...

I’m trying to complete a rebuild of a 1936 Elgin Robin. Im looking for a few small things to help button it up. Here’s my list: Complete headset Complete crankset A pair of headbadge screws Kickstand Chainguard. Condition not really that much of a factor. Doing a bit of a “patina-build” at...

I just acquired this seat for an Elgin Robin project I’m working on. It has the perfect patina I’m looking for. The seat cover is in ok condition for its age but if there’s anything I could do to preserve or prolong it I’d like to do it. This bike will occasionally be ridden but not very...

This is probably a dumb question but I’ll ask it anyway. I’m putting together an Elgin Robin that is a collection of parts from many different sources. The fork, front fender and frame are all from different bicycles. It seems to me that the front fork should have a threaded hole in it for a...

I’m hoping to move a few steps forward on my Whizzer project and the next item on my (very long) list is to find a front motor mount. If anyone has one they’d be willing to part with please let me know. Thanks.

I’ve been going through my collection of random parts and am trying to identify these remaining rear racks. Anyone able to recognize any? Edit- I believe the third one is from around a 1950 Hawthorne. Thanks.

New Old Stock (NOS) Vintage Raleigh Bicycle Chainwheel & Crank. I got this several years ago in a collection of vintage bicycle parts. In that collection were several brand new Raleigh parts. This was among them. This part had never been out of the sealed package until this evening when I took...

Vintage Hiawatha CWC Bicycle Horn Tank 1940’s 1950’s Western Flyer Hawthorne. This bicycle horn tank came off approximately a 1950 (Possibly give or take a couple years either way) Hiawatha ladies bicycle with 26” tires. This was on a full-size adult model. The manufacturer (Cleveland Welding...

A friend that dabbles in the vintage bicycle world just picked this up today. I think he’s hoping to flip it to buy a clothes dryer for his family. I‘d like to help him by giving him some potentially useful information about the bike but I’m really not a Shelby guy. If I had to guess I would...

Looking for an aluminum fork for a 1937/38 Hawthorne badged bike. Thanks, Jay

A friend sent me a text yesterday and asked me if I wanted a pair of “old cruiser frames.” Initially I saw one was a Silver King and told him he could probably sell it for some real cash. He insisted that he was too busy to deal with it and told me if I could make a buck on it that I could have...

A few years ago I found a late 40’s/ early 50’s Hiawatha tank bike (see photo) at a swap meet. I recently sold that bike. In order to sell the bike I had to put a newer seat on it because the ripped original? seat seemed to be a turnoff to potential buyers. Now I have this seat left over. I’d...

Ross Starfighter Chainguard. Came off (I’m guessing on the year) late 50’s boys Model with 26” X 1.75” tires. Was originally red in color. Now has a healthy amount of patina. OA bath might work wonders. $40 shipped and insured in the CONUS.

1950’s J.C. Higgins chainguard. I have no idea where I got this or how it ended up in my collection. Obviously has been repainted. Metal is very straight with one very small dent as indicated with screwdriver tip pointing at it in photos. If I were going to use this and repaint it I...

Vintage bicycle tire lot. This is a collection of old bicycle tires I have removed from countless projects over the years. All of them are USED. Some of them are more used than others. These tires are all in the 50 + year old range. Because of that I probably wouldn’t recommend using them for a...

Wheels leftover from various bicycle projects over the last ten years. Everything (with the exception of the lone aluminum wheel) is probably pre-1970. I personally have not gone through any of these hubs so I can’t speak to their condition. Just looking to clean house and get rid of all of them...

1940’s to maybe 1950 CWC built Hiawatha men’s bicycle. This bicycle is waiting for your touch to restore it or just ride it as-is. It has many notable features including the original Native American headbadge, a front springer fork, tank, gothic peaked fenders, skip tooth drive and a rear rack...

I know a (sort of) similar thread was posted a few years ago but I’m hoping there might be new information now. I‘m in the process of rebuilding a late 40’s Whizzer. I want tires that look vintage but I don’t want to use 70 year old tires on this thing for safety reasons. I have used the Royal...

The short story: Schwinn DX Bicycle tank. No horn unit included. Has been repainted. I believe this is an original Schwinn tank. $250 shipped in CONUS and you pay the PayPal fees. The Long story: A few years ago I was looking for an original postwar DX tank. I found someone on here selling...

I bought this project in pieces years ago. I finally got around to putting it back together. Once assembled I thought the REAR fender didn’t look quite right. It looks too short to me. All of the fender mounting bolt holes matched up perfectly and the braces fit just right but it still seems...

Monark Chainguard from a 1950’s 26” balloon tire ladies Rocket model. Blue in color with ivory and red accents. $40 shipped and insured in the CONUS.

This tank came off an approximately 1950 26” Ladies CWC brand bike. I believe this one specifically might have come off of a Hiawatha model although I believe it is the same as a Western Flyer Super and some of the other CWC offerings. This tank DID originally have a horn but there Is NO HORN...

A few years ago I bought an old Hawthorne bicycle to restore. It was missing the chainguard. I searched for an original paint Hawthorne chainguard for a long time. I finally found this on EBay and bought it. I was restoring a black Hawthorne at the time and thought this was black in color and...

A few years ago I bought this three speed 1961 Corvette. When I purchased it the bike was disassembled and missing the fenders. I put everything together and occasionally rode the bike for many years, it functioned pretty well. However I always wanted to get fenders on the bike so it would look...

1948 Original Chicago Schwinn ladies bicycle project. I believe this was a 26” (full size) model. I bought this several years ago to get some parts I needed to finish a few other projects. I’ve held the frame for years because has such cool lines. I figured I would eventually use it somewhere...

Last fall I bought a ‘52 Schwinn at a garage sale. It had been sitting for around forty years. The bike is rideable but has a problem. It pedals fine, but after I coast for a moment the crank rotates close to a full revolution before it starts to get any resistance again. There’s absolutely...

FOUND! I‘m re-doing a 1965 Schwinn Heavy Duti. I assumed I had a chainguard for it somewhere in my collection but I was wrong. It’s going to be repainted so cosmetics isn’t really a factor, but I am looking for something that is straight and won’t need a lot of bodywork or prep. Send me a PM...

FOUND! Looking for a complete Rocket Ray for a Streamliner project. Paint and condition not critical. Not working probably OK too. Would prefer an original but might consider a repop if that’s all I can find for a reasonable price. Thanks, Jay

1952 Schwinn DX men’s bicycle. This was my personal rider but I’ve found a new project and need to let this one go. Over the last few years I’ve lovingly worked on and ridden this bicycle all over south Minneapolis. It has a new nickel-plated chain, new tires and tubes and most bearings have...

Just picked up this green 1952? Streamliner and would like to find an original tank to go with it. Would love to find one in green but also might be open to a rough original I could repaint. Please let me know if you can help me out. Thanks.

Looking for a stem for a prewar Schwinn cycletruck. Crusty OK, rusty OK. Let me know if you can help me out. Thanks, Jay

Now $800! Western Flyer Super. ***Edit- I do have a correct seat (not shown in photos) for this now although it is torn and will need recovering.*** This bike was very high-end when it was new. It has a springer equipped front fork, headlight, tail light, electric horn and a rear rack with...

Late 1950’s Ross Starfighter Model tank and chainguard for sale. These came off of a 26” bike. I currently have these listed on a eBay but would prefer to sell here to help out a CABER. Provided someone isn’t bidding on them I will cancel the sale and sell here instead. All parts originally red...

Late 1950’s Ross-built Coast King bicycle. Brand new 26” X 1.75” tires and tubes. Brand new chain. Cleaned and re-greased crank bearings. Was originally a red bike, color may come back with an OA bah or other rust treatment. Or spend a fiver for a rattle can and paint it any color you like. $90...

Mid-to-late 1930’s Snyder built, Crown badged tank bike. All original condition. Paint was given a “chemical bath” to remove surface rust, then buffed and polished with professional auto body tools and supplies. Frame paint came back very nicely. sheet metal items (tank, fenders, chainguard)...

Picked this up last night for $10. Couldn’t resist given it was inky a couple miles away and the price was right. I have a little girl tha always wants t work in projects with me so I thought we could spend some time in this one. Now I’d just like to find out what exactly it is. Originally...

Looking for as complete as possible Model H Whizzer engine.

A few years ago I bought a WF Super at a garage sale. It was 95% complete but someone had started to do some work on it so a few little things were disassembled or missing. I’m at the point now where I’m trying to get all of the electricals working. When I opened the tank there was no battery...

I'm working on a long term project to get this old Whizzer complete and rideable. I was told it was a birthday present for the original owner in 1946. However, the original owner has passed away and sometimes those details can be one a little cloudy when passed down from other family members...

10 vintage ladies bicycle frames. Some are pre-war ballooners. Some are as new as 1960's or 70's middle-weights. All were 26" bikes except for the pink Schwinn which was a 24". Couple Elgins, couple Schwinn, Monark, Huffy and some other brands as well. Four have had frame repairs or welding...

Looking for a Whizzer H motor. Looking for something fairly complete but needing some parts is OK as well. Prefer a rebuildable core motor or enough good parts to assemble a complete motor. Thanks.

1950 Western Flyer Super. Bicycle is in 'as found' condition. I stumbled upon this bike and bought it without realizing just how special and collectible it really was. After doing some research I have learned that this bike is too valuable and desirable to just be sitting in a storage facility...

Looking for a right side men's Torrington 10 pedal in about the same condition as the one in the photo. Thank you.

Greetings all- I'm in the early stages of putting back together a late 40's Whizzer that I picked up last fall. When I got it one of the pedals was gone. Someone must not have been able to get it off and sawed it off leaving the stub in place. I was able to get the stub out and would like to...

Price reduced! Now $40 shipped in the lower 48. For sale- two pairs of Schwinn "glitter" grips. One pair is red and one pair is green. I believe these are probably original. If they were reproductions I would think they would be in nearly perfect shape but these show signs of some average wear...

For sale- one pair of Schwinn red glitter grips. I believe these are probably original. If they were reproductions I would think they would be in better shape. These do show some wear- especially at the top end of the grips where they have both worn through in some spots (see photos). $23...

Anyone have an original Phantom style fender light in rider quality to rough condition they'd be willing to part with at a reasonable price? It's for a project that's going to be left mostly unrestored cosmetically. Please let me know if you can help me out. Thanks, Jay
