    1940's or 1950's Westfield? Just Got It...

    I know, I know. It's a girls bike. 😬 Seminole . But it's all there, from what I can see, from birth. Even the tires. And I couldn't pass up the price on it. 🤪 It has flat fender braces, so I'm ASSuming the later 40's... Post War. And when someone can, please let me know what year it actually...

    4 MORE Raleigh's!!...Just Got Them

    I'm OUT OF CONTROL, and it's pretty obvious now. 🤪 I went yesterday to pick up two, and back this morning for the last two. I bought 6 bikes in all from him (including the RSW and the Superbe) in the last few of days. Wiped him out, and he was thrilled. 🙂 He's moving to the west and can't take...

    Raleigh Superbe... Just Got It

    When I went to pick up a Raleigh RSW that was on Craigslist ( I Posted it), he had this bike he hadn't listed yet. So, of course I had to have it, even if was missing a rear brake and levers. I have extras. I still haven't looked at either hub closely enough to see a date, but I'm thinking...

    1966 Raleigh RSW... Just Got IT

    This was on Craigslist for less than two days, and I can't believe no one here on Long Island was interested in it. Lucky me! 😎 A quick 35 mile drive and it was mine. (He also had a Raleigh Superbe he hadn't listed yet, so I went home with that also that I'll be Posting!). Condition you see is...

    Roadmaster... Just Got It

    Well, here she is. I started a Post on this yesterday before I bought it, so this will a cleaner version to see what's going on. 🙂 Pretty rusty, and even the back wheel nuts are missing for what ever stupid reason. This will be a long time in coming as I bought 3 bikes from this guy to work on...

    HERA... Just Brought It Home

    Well, I bit the bullet and bought it. Thanks to @juvela and all of his research on it (check out the Post from yesterday on the bike), I had to have it. Quickly took photos before the rain started again. Appears to be all original, right down to the tires. And check out how the fender braces...

    Roadmaster... To Buy or Not To Buy...

    A guy I know said he had an old bike in his backyard. I went to take a look, and here it is. I'm thinking late 40's. If I make an offer... what should it be? He's not sure. Missing a seat, which he thinks he has somewhere. Very rusty, obviously, but some cool parts. Like the head and tail...

    Raleigh Sports... Another Project...

    Picked this one up yesterday for cheap. I have another rear wheel, along with really nice handlebars, neck, etc. to use. Haven't even looked at the hub for a date, but looking at it I figure '74.

    HERA...What Brand Is This?

    @juvela Any clue? Someone I know is selling it cheap. I saw it when I bought a project Raleigh Sports and a pair of Euro Clay tires (that you can see in one of the photos). Low end from what I can see 🤨

    1987 Schwinn Le Tour... Just Got It

    Just happened upon this on Facebook shortly after it was listed this afternoon. It started out at the original owners garage sale in the morning... no one wanted it... so he put it on. It was only 5 miles from my house and cheap. Taken care of for most of its life, and mostly original, he was...

    Giant GFR...Not Really Vintage Yet...?

    Just picked this up as another project to play with. 🙂 Bike was his sons, and it was collecting saw dust from the shop in his garage for many, many years. I have no clue as to age, so maybe one of you experts can at least put a date on it for me. Appears all original through the filth, but who...

    IRON HORSE Suspension Mountain Bike...Just Got It...

    I was having a cup of coffee yesterday morning going through Marketplace and this popped up. Looked cool... liked the color ...I know NOTHING about mountain bikes... it was 20 miles from my house... and CHEAP. So off I went! 🙂 Iron Horse bikes almost became an account of the Ad Agency I was...

    Chiorda Gimondi...Just Got A Pair...

    As purchased, and I have two of them, but I'll just show this one. They're identical...and new. They were sitting in a basement for over 30 years (see Sunday's Show And Tell where I posted 4 bikes and a quick story). What do I really have in these apparently lower end bikes that need sew-ups for...

    Bianchi...Just Got It...But What Is It?

    Lower end Bianchi I know. This is one of the four bikes I purchased on Sunday. (I've never seen "Bianchi" done that way on any bike I've ever seen. At first I thought bit was hand-done). And with the rain here today, all I have are the two photos I took when I got home with them. My usual ton of...

    Peugeot PY-10 (???)...Just Got It...

    I picked this up late this morning, along with a Bianchi and two new Chiorda Edmondi's. I'll Post on those later at some point, but here's the Peugeot. I THINK it's a PY-10...1976 ish? I'll let the experts let me know how close I am. I got a text from a guy last night (who I had purchased the...

    1960 Schwinn De Luxe Hornet. Reverse Paint Scheme.

    1956 Black Phantom...What's Not Original?

    The owner said that the seat (obviously), handlebars and wheels might be from the 60's. (He checked the serial number and came up with that year). Is he correct From what you can see, is there anything else? I might be interested...if the price is right. 🧐

    1960 Schwinn De Luxe Hornet...Just Got It...

    Picked this one up this afternoon, about 45 minutes from my house. With the exception of incorrect grips and missing the rear reflector, it appears original...right down to the original, crumbling tires! 😃 Guy selling it was the second owner who bought it recently (my age), and needed to make...

    Raleigh and Hercules...Curbside...

    On my way home with the Rollfast I just Posted here, these two bikes were sitting curbside. I brought the Rollfast home and unloaded it, figuring I'd go back and see if the bikes were still there. They were. I rang the doorbell to make sure they were being tossed, and the owner said to take...

    1930's Rollfast...Just Got It...

    Well, I picked up this "Bronze" paint-over this morning from Facebook for cheap, after it was listed for a King's ransom last year ($800). I explained to the owner (not original, she said it was hanging in a garage when she bought the house) it WAS NOT original paint...nor was the light...

    1950's Schwinn Straightbar with Springer...DX?...Panther?...Just Got It

    Quite the "Frankenbike" as you can see. Spray bombed...after market fender braces on maybe original fenders...wrong seat and grips...wrong light, etc. Anyway, I saw this bike months ago in the summer when the guy was selling it on Craigslist as a "1951 Panther" because it looked like pictures...

    1975 Raleigh Sprite...Just Got It...

    I picked this up yesterday afternoon on the way to my daughters house (very convenient!). I needed it like a hole in the head, but it was pretty cheap... and because it was yellow... and because I have parts in almost mint condition to replace things like the handlebars with. 🙂 Front rim...

    Sold 1939 Schwinn DX with Locking Spring Fork

    I've decided not to do anything with the bike after all these months of having it. I haven't touched it. This is how I got it. Let it go to a good home, hopefully to someone here. 😎 Photos should tell the tale. Head badge is an AMS Flash, not a Schwinn, and I do not have a key for it. This will...

    What's Good To Use to Preserve an Oil Cloth Saddle?

    I recently purchased a 1935 Hawthorne Motobike in very good condition. I'm going to do my usual detailing, but I'm out of my element on preserving the saddle. What do you guys use to keep it from drying out further? I don't want to make any assumptions, so I'll leave it to the experts.

    1935 Hawthorne Motobike...Just Got It

    If it's not, please let me know. But from all the research I've done, it fits it to a "T"...especially the one-year-only head badge. This is a Facebook find, only 4 miles from my house! I know you guys haven't had much luck on that, but I've been doing very well lately. 🙂 Story I was told was...

    Motobecane Super Mirage...Just Got It

    Picked this up today on a whim...and because it was cheap. 😁 I'm figuring around 1980 because of the down tube shifters, but if someone knows for sure, please let me know. Looking at it, the fork...saddle...and rear wheel have been changed out. Pretty filthy (as you'll see) and needing work...

    1951 Schwinn Girls Panther...Just Got It...

    Got this one this afternoon after debating what to do...so I did it anyway. Photos are as I purcvhased it. October 2, 1951 according to the serial number. And condition is questionable as you'll see. First one I've ever had, and it does look pretty cool, even in this condition. On the front...

    Only photo I have is this one. I do know that the rims are complete toast (rotted, I was told), and the rest is questionable at best. Is this thing even worth making an offer? I'm hoping you tell me "NO" so I don't go and get it...

    Hawthorne Pedals...on my 1950 Schwinn

    Yes, I know that they weren't original to this bike...1950 Schwinn D-19 as shown. But can I assume that they're from the same time period? I didn't notice this until I started to take the bike apart. The person that had the bike way back when apparently took three of the blocks off and spun...

    1966 Schwinn Varsity Upright

    This is one of the 9 bikes I picked up last week. I might be keeping this one as it's my size and needs only tires. I didn't do my usual "Crazy Cleaning/Detailing". Just wanted to make it look nice when going for a short ride in the neighborhood. Enjoy the Before and After photos...

    J.C. Higgins Bike...What Model and Year Is This?

    I got this as part of a group of bikes I purchased, and I have no idea as to the Model. Jet Flow?? I'm figuring the year to be around very late '50's to very early '60's. Appears to be all original and in decent condition 😀...but missing its head light.

    1955 Schwinn Red Phantom Project with Locking Fork

    A project for sure! This one needs a lot of love, but I've seen much worse on ebay with just a frame. The rear dropout dates it to 1955, and looking under the top bar reveals that it was initially red, and not green. And missing quite a few items...wheels & tires...tank...correct handlebars &...

    1955 Schwinn Hornet Deluxe

    Any Clue As To What This Is?...

    Not my photos, so it's all I have to go by. The sweetheart sprocket suggests it was from a Schwinn. Handlebars from an Elgin? A Franken-bike of parts for sure. So, any guess where the frame and fork came from? 🧐

    Another Craigslist find, but not what I expected when I got there. 🙁 Photos of the bike were not good, and when I spoke to the gentleman, he said his neighbors house was being cleaned out and the bike was going to be tossed. It belonged to the 90 year old man who had lived there (original...
