First ride on 36 Westfield "Racer" e-bike conversion. 18 miles testing systems.

Thanks!

I sent you a PM. Thanks

Deal. PM me, thanks.

Very good condition Torrington from 30s.

Apologies - I have withdrawn the parts.

Hey man, sorry. I have decided to build out that bike and withdraw the parts.

Sorry ND

Sorry, ND.

DOND is for one (1) tank, two decals, a model airplane and a headbadge. The tanks on my red Shelby daily rider has a hand painted decal and is not for sale. The square tool boxes are not part of the sale, sorry for the confusion.

There are two tanks and two airplanes; the bike was used for display and I took down that add on Craigslist a couple days ago. I am moving the wheel set and putting the bike back to semi-original for sale. I think it would be more appropriate for you to PM me on something like this. Happy Sunday!

Sorry, ND

1930s Shelby Lindy steel tank and Decals. The tank is a solid steel, high quality reproduction with predrilled holes for hangers. The decals are from Nostalgic Reflections and are of the very high quality as well. Throw ins are a correct size Lindy airplane model airplane (however, steel and...

It's actually not even attached, just sitting there close to where it is supposed to go waiting for something to do I guess 🤫

I think you are correct. I just remember the date from when we dated it on this post. Not sure how to correct the number but hopefully most people can see it on the pics. Thanks!

I believe this one is from 1924 based on serial number 897488. I got this as a project bike and decided to sell off my inventory, so I don't know much about it. The rear wheel has a Model D hub, so I know that wheels are not original to the bike. The drop stand is also for sure not Iver...

I am selling all of my bikes and parts and this project is being sold as a bundle, not individual parts. The frame is rusted but in good shape until you get to the drop outs, which are only about 3 mm thick and would need to be replaced unless the bike is for display only. I was going to have...

Do you still have this?

I am looking for a mid 20s Iver Johnson crank or crank parts. Also interested in other 20s Iver Johnson Parts. Thanks!!

Bummer on the blowout but sweet ride!!

Same old, same old..... 28 miles, but I did pick up a vintage Bianchi for the wife that I am building it now. Yes, I am going to add gears and upgrade the brakes. Yes, I will keep all original parts (I have the saddle) for future restoration.

It is. I’m currently in Italy for a few months but I can probably get it to you through my friend who watches my house. I do have a brake arm for it now.

I use Bafang 750w on my builds (the pics are early experiments) and you can’t use a coaster brake because the crank is free (turns backward). Tongshen builds a 350w mid drive that has a fixed crank you can use with a coaster brake but I haven’t tried it.

There are many options for hub motors and many price ranges beginning under $100, it all depends on how much power you want. Many are complete wheels, while others are just a hub. They all have a basic "CPU" and you can add things or keep them simple. These two have a basic on/off/throttle...

No old bike here. Yet.....

22 miles around Colorado Springs this morning on the 34 Shelby, my lightweight. I'm getting faster with the shifter and the bike really moves. The bike is far from done, but I'll be out of the country for awhile, so I want to get as many miles on it as I can.

Bomb!!!

Just tried out my new daily rider for 18 miles on the old Santa Fe trail. Not quite done with it, but getting there. Beautiful day for a ride.

System check ride, about 10 miles, on the last e bike I will build. 1936 Westfield frame built up as a fake Indian from a frame I had laying around. I built this one for myself after building a couple customs but just not for me. I was looking forward to a long ride on a Shelby I just...

Would that have been 28 inch then? It also mentions steel wheels but the ones on it are ND model D, mid 30s.

Hello again, experts and thanks for viewing my post. I just got this Iver Johnson, which to me appears to be a pre 1923 junior bike (based on a IJ serial number article of unknown origin). I would think the wheels are wrong and that it would have had 26 inch iron clad wood wheels? The bars...

Thanks! It came with no crankset or head badge. You had identified it as an Excelsior built Sears based on the head screw distance and rectangular paint over pattern some time ago. I finally got around to doing something with it. Are ND Model A/M hubs correct for this build?

I am finishing up a 1920 something Excelsior "Rustoration" and would like comments that will help make the bike as close to actual as I can get it. The bike started life as an Excelsior built Elgin and came with everything except the saddle, crank, gooseneck, pedals, light/tube and one of the...

Looking for 1930s 26 inch drop center front wheel or rim in decent condition. Thanks!

Same - build them, ride them, lose money, repeat.

This item is no longer available.

I sent you a PM.

How much do you need for them?

140 for drop stand.

$125 for the drop stand

Are you selling as a package or individually? Thanks

Looking for 28 inch truss rods for 20s Shelby build, so prefer thin rods but will take thick rods as well. Also looking for a 20s Iver Johnson truss rod like everyone. Thanks!

Having done similar builds but not as old as what you are proposing, it is all in the gearing (and brakes) for me. I ride 5 or 6 times a week on mountaneous/steep hill trails and 1 to 3 of those days are on antique bikes. That said, I am a huge fan of Sturmey Archer products and I believe...

Sorry ND

Sears Chief badge, open to trades.

Yes, unfortunately it does not delineate when they stopped using those forks. I saw 86 pages on Davis but not much on Shelby. They can't be that rare?!

I am working on a couple of Shelby builds and would love to see some pics of mid 20s Shelby motobikes and any information on what they were badged as. Also, when did Shelby stop using the Meiselbach forks? All information and pics greatly appreciated!!
