Very good condition Torrington from 30s.

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...

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...

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

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...

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!

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!

Sears Chief badge, open to trades.

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!!

Looking for a 28 inch Iver Johnson truss rod. Thanks

Greetings and thanks to anyone taking the time to look at these. Got these fenders today, not realizing how narrow (1 3/4 inches) they are. Pretty sure they were once nickel plated and the loop on the back fender looks like an Iver Johnson I am getting this week. Anyway, I have a couple of...

Not sure of year or even make, though I suspect it may be Colson. No hardware, just what is in the pics.

Looking for either of the two above. Thanks!

I was pretty sure this is a mid 20s Excelsior built frame and low and behold, after stripping 4 layers of paint and colors, including the obligatory Harley green house paint, I find a serial number and what appears to be a lug or lugs on the seat tube. I wanted to leave it alone but it was...

Perfect with no scratches, 24 tooth.

Excellent condition Columbia Model C lamp made by Hine Watt Mfg in Chicago. The glass has a small crack but otherwise the set is near perfect for its age.

I just cleaned and repacked these ND hubs. They roll very nice, brake works; however, there is no brake arm or nuts.

Adjustable seat post, 7/8 diameter.

Not sure if 40s or 50s - nice wheel set with very low mileage Kenda tires. Rear hub is Bendix, front is Schwinn scripted and the wheels roll well.

Redone at some point with crash rails, has a little color fade from storage but otherwise near perfect.

I am writing my thoughts as a full fledge antique Motobike enthusiast doing a museum restore on an old Shelby. However, I got into this building custom electric bikes for someone and built one that I ride when I feel really lazy, want to try out new products or have super high winds. I'll...

They look like they can be cleaned up pretty well except under the grips, where they are pretty rough.

Nice condition with some flaws typical of a 90 year old bicycle seat. Thanks for looking!

Unknown make, maybe English

These hubs came off a teens wood wheel bike and was told they were Atherton hubs, but all posts point to Corbin. The rear rolls very nice and braking mechanism engages. Front hub is currently sitting in a tub of WD 40 and will be repacked prior to shipping.

30s Lucas King of the Road aluminum headlight in excellent condition with no dents. The light does not have a bulb and has not been tested.

Here is a Motobike hanging toolbox with hangers that fits multiple frames including Mead, Westfield, Snyder and others. The toolbox measures 2.5 inches tall by 21 inches long and is in excellent condition with no rust, dents or major flaws. Will trade for early teacup light/battery tube...

Hello. I am thinking of doing a Lindy tribute build with one of my Shelbys, which has a Meiselback fork. Is this fork too early (and therefore the entire bike) for a Lindy, given they weren't produced until 1927? Any help is greatly appreciated as I do not want to do a hack job on any build...

Nice 30s gooseneck that I think is for Colson but had a similar one on a Huffman built bike from 1941.

Beautiful 1936/37 (serial number indicates 37) Hawthorne Motobike that has been refurbished as a rider, not a museum piece. The bike appears to be mostly original with liberties taken on repop seat, pedals, bars (from Cabe!), rack, and crank/sprocket/speed chain. The bike has never been ridden...

I am looking for a late teens/early 20s Westfield tall motobike frame or complete bike in any condition. Please PM me if you have one you would like to part with.

Hello. I am trying to identify these two aluminum seat posts. The first is 6 inches long and the tube is 13/16 in diameter. The second is 6 1/2 inches long and the tube is 1 inch in diameter. Definitely do not need the second one and would probably part with the first one if you need it for...

Parting out this 1938 Colson ladies bike that I put together from spare parts. Frame, snap tank, bars and crank are original Colson, fenders are peaked (not sure from what), rack is random, good rolling drop center painted wheels with new Kenda tires, very nice ladies seat, period gooseneck...

Thanks to everyone who commented on this seat as part of my mid 20s Shelby restoration. Since I refuse to destroy it on frequent rides (though it was stated that it would be fine daily) and a few of you have expressed an interest, I am putting it up for DOND. Shipping is $20 and if you want...

Greetings Experts. I am doing my first professional restoration on a 20s Shelby and have some questions regarding the saddle. I have attached some pics of a saddle I have and am wondering if it can be restored to the point of being appropriate for a fully restored bicycle of that era. If so...

Greetings experts. Attached are some pics of a couple of forks I got in a package deal and not sure what I have. The first looks like a ladies Schwinn locking fork from the 30s?? The other one I am not sure and could definitely use some help. If anyone needs either fork, PM me. Thanks!!

Looking for a pair of thin 28 inch truss rods and bridge. Build is a late 20s Hawthorne Flyer. Thanks!

On Craigslist in Denver..... https://denver.craigslist.org/bik/d/indian-hills-vintage-1939-schwinn-dx-la/7412962630.html

Greetings experts. I am doing a full restoration on a 20s Shelby built for Valu stores. The frame, fork (Meiselbach), fenders, etc. are going to the paint shop soon but I do not know what the original paint scheme was. Does anyone have a pic or reference to an age appropriate paint and color...

Hello again bike experts. It looks like I have found another bike that is difficult to identify and respectfully request assistance in determining exactly what it is. It is badged as a Firestone Flying Ace but I am not sure if it hasn't been re-badged. The Serial number is H594376 and past...

Greetings bike experts. I picked up this bike/build this week and could use some help identifying it. The gentleman I bought it from thought it was a 1915 Sears Chief, but the badge holes (2 inches apart) wouldn't match up, the fenders are wrong, and the gooseneck is too short among other...

Greetings. I am new to the community and just recently started collecting vintage balloon bikes. I just purchased a pre-war frame and do not know what I have as it no longer has a head badge. It is a girls frame with lugs on the downtube and dropouts built for a drop stand. The serial number...
