So I'm this late in the stage of the restoration of this 1910's Zenith only to realize I have the wrong front hub (32 hole) so I'm hoping these photos will tug on the heart strings of you viewers to help me locate a nice 36 hole New Departure Model "M" (last picture) so I can complete this...

Hey there, It's been a long time away from the bicycle hobby but with all this time on our hands I decided to jump back in and carry on with the restoration of my 1910's Zenith. I did a really dumb thing and restored/ re-plated the front hub that I thought was the correct one that came with the...

I've owned and used this bike for the past 15 + years but now with my 3 yr old I need something newer with gears to tote her around on. Light and horn work when you add the 5 lbs. of D cell batteries. Wheels run pretty true but I noticed a few loose spokes the other day, some lube and tune up...

SOLD< SOLD< SOLD!!! Thank you CABE... I say near LA because I'm not into packing and shipping all of this stuff! Here's how I'd like this to work... Yes we can talk so you can get an idea of what I have but basically I'd like someone to come with a pick-up and clear out my shed. There's way...

As you can see my hub is missing the brake parts! Thanks for looking. L

A 1920's Cadillac made by Edwards and Crist? Lawrence

I bought a 1903 Columbia Chainless model 106 and the two speed (ball end spoke) hub was missing the brake assembly. I'm willing to trade all things pictured plus many more parts including fenders, bars, cranks, and whatever else you'd like from my shed (and there's some pretty good stuff in...

Looking for a Twinnbar kickstand for a friend. Please let me know any info? thank you, Lawrence 818-726-9195

Hey there, does anyone have one of these seats in decent shape? It will be restored so it's more about the correct base parts. Also looking for a twinbar kick stand. Thank you, any info would be great! Lawrence 818-726-9195

This it to prove that I don't restore everything I get me hands on! Also I had this early 20's? Crown for a few years now and never took the time to share it with ya'll. P.S. The Fleetwing is simply more proof! (Wrong category) Hey, anyone have thoughts on what year it may be? Thanks...

Well, I'm sure it was used on others but... I know I'm technically supposed to post this in the WTB and I will but this is kinda specialized. I have a wiped-out bearing & race for this hub. I rode on it but it's not right. One side isn't too bad so one will work but... If anyone out there...

Anyone have a good restorable siren/ horn from the mid 20's? It seems appropriate for this latest project! Thank you in advance, Lawrence

So I've been lazy about getting an update on the progress of my rusty purchase, but here it is! I've actually been done for two months now. First are some pics of what was delivered to me and I scratched my head and thought of aborting the project. Was it too far gone??? So I put it together...

I thought I'd use this one day but I haven't, It should be on someone's bike, it's way too cool to sit in a drawer! 3" Dia. and in perfect condition! $80. shipped

I've been slowly working on this bike for a couple years now, and I think it's time I let it go! The bars and stem are beautifully replated (super nice!, I have $350. into them) The fenders aren't worth picturing. No rust holes in the tank, everything has been media blasted and primed. I do...

I have a friend's wife that wants to buy her husband a nice restored prewar bike for his birthday at the end of the month. She's willing to spend $1700. for it plus shipping. She doesn't know what's what and that is where I come in... I know he likes Twinnbars and tank bikes but not in RED! Not...

I bought these a while back to use on a 40-41 Rollfast Roamer but then learned the roamer didn't really use these. The Roamer I guess was more of a baseline bike. Looks like there's a small spacer missing where the axle goes through? Anyway, I don't need them anymore. I'm pretty sure I paid a...

So there I was, having a quick glance a Ebay when I saw this one ending in three hours. I thought... Hell, that'll probabley go for $6 - $700. so I chucked a bid down for $566.66 just for a little drama. Cut to today when I take a look at my email and see... Please pay for your item?? Totally...

Does anyone else have this happen to them??? When you see reoccurring profile pictures of CABE members, you start to assume that that is who you're comunicating with and that is what they look like??? For example... Catfish is an old man that love helping out kids with there bicycles! And...

I found this picture of what looks like this rack on a Rollfast ??? but I'm not sure. The middle section looks the same as a Hawthorne Zep rack but with different ends. I was going to use it on my Zep project but I located an Egg crate (8 hole) rack instead. After identifing it I may concider...

I'm building an off brand D.P. Harris "ZEP" bike and discovered that I have the wrong truss rods and bracket (Mickey mouse type) and I could use some help. Also a rear fender (non ducktail) no frame indents for upper mount. Here's a picture of a Zep for reference. Thank you for looking and...

Prewar Schwinn Frame, Fork, Fenders, light and crank SOLD [ATTACH=CONFIG]86755[/ATTACH Well, years ago I thought I'd take on a Schwinn project and as time passes I just don't see it happening. I'm not going to say what model and year it is because I just don't...

I have a few nice pairs of cross braced bars but none are the type that bolt around the bar itself. I'm restoring a 37 Zenith ( Harris/ Snyder)(ZEP) and from the pictures I've see, these seem to be the correct ones. If you know of a pair please let me know? Thank you for your time. Lawrence...

I'm looking for a clean pair of Torrington bars to re-plate. I made the mistake of trying to re-plate a well pitted (rusty) pair a year ago, and although they came out perfect, they cost me $175. by the time all the pits were filled. They're for a 38 Elgin Twinbar and look like the ones...

I'm helping a friend find a prewar ladies bike for his wife. Unless it's super clean orig., he would prefer a restored one (ready to go for the most part). Something unique and different rather than a basic or common. He's willing to spend $600. to $800. Any info or leeds appreciated. Feel free...

I just picked up this bike and I need some help identifying the year and parts? I've only seen 28" rims in wood and metal clad wood. Please help me out here. Does this help identify the year? Also the sprocket has a paten date of Jan. 1918 and the frame has a decal date of 1922. Does the stem...

I just picked up this bike and I need some help identifying the year and parts? I've only seen 28" rims in wood and metal clad wood before. These are all metal but take a single tube tire. Please help me out here. Does this help identify the year? Also the sprocket has a paten date of Jan. 1918...

What does anybody think about these repop 28"s out there?, are they Ok? Can you ride on them? or just in an emergency. Someone out here must have either tires, or a solution? Thank you for your time, Lawrence 818-726-919five.

Here's a never used or mounted prewar front fender For a Schwinn??? I think I was told it was a 39, 40, 41? The shape of the fork and springer bump-ins are apparently the difference? You Schwinn guys would know better. I paid $80 for it because it was too cool and I thought I'd become Schwinn...

I have these deep fenders that I've been keeping around to use one day and wondered if anyone knows what they came off? I could part with them if I was convinced the'd be better on their bike but for now I'd love some help??? Thanks for your time, Lawrence P.S. They have a 1/4" raised lip...

This is a pair of prewar wood clad rims in great shape, solid and strait. They do have some plating loss but not rusty. Use as is or paint to match. $95

I know very little about these hub conversions but it does look like its missing parts. If someone out there knows about these hubs and has the parts (and skills) to complete it please let me know,... I'll send it to you for service and pay you dearly for your efforts! I've wanted those extra...

I have no idea what this thing is but if you can give me $10 and pay for shipping, you can try to figure it out? It has a couple issues but still fixable and useful (see photos) . Any questions give me a ring. Thanks, Lawrence 818-726-9195 SOLD

Speedo seems to be fine but I suspect a new drive gear would make it right. $35. shipped Thanks for looking, Lawrence 818-726-9195 SOLD

Misc. racks and chain guards from various years and models, not sure from what or when? They came in a parts lot from about a year ago. If you see something you'd like just make me an offer and I'll get it out to you. Thank you, Lawrence 818-726-9195

Not sure what year this comes from but if your looking for it,...You do! This and other parts are not useful on my current projects but maybe yours? I'd like to get $125. for it but that can include the shipping. Thanks for looking, Lawrence 818-726-9195
