    WTB '40s mens 26" frame for klunker build.

    I'd like to find a '40s mens 26" frame in semi rough to decent shape for a future klunker build. In an ideal world I'd like a truss rod fork, stem, handlebars, and crank with it. I'm not specific to brand, but prefer something other than Schwinn for a change. Can be completely rusty or partial...

    Murray Jet Fire...years produced?

    The other day I picked up a Murray Jet Fire men's 26" and wondered what years they produced these. I bought it because my first vintage bike ever was a Murray Missile. I haven't been able to find another one of those, but this is darn close so I grabbed it. Thanks for any info! -Marc.

    WTB decent chrome rear fender for '78 Heavy Duti

    I'm looking for a usable chrome rear fender for my '78 Heavy Duti. A previous owner cut mine in half for reasons unknown. I don't need the braces or the reflector, just the fender. Can be a little crusty like mine to fit the overall theme of my bike, but I prefer one without dents if possible...

    So I bought a Heavy Duti.

    Browsing FB Marketplace late Saturday night and came across a later model (Haven't de-coded the serial yet but it appears to have the post-1975 chain guard) Kool Lemon Schwinn Heavy-Duti for 65 bucks. Unfortunately it was already pending. I sent the guy a message anyway asking if he'd give me...

    DISREGARD! Anybody passing through Ft. Wayne IN on their way through lower Michigan?

    Disregard please. Seller flaked out on me and I can't figure out how to delete the ad! Thanks.

    Firestone Flame seat?

    I figure this is a long shot, but before I go with a generic Amazon white seat I thought I might see if anyone has a seat like this in better shape? Not looking for perfect, but maybe not missing a chunk like mine?

    'Pig' bike project?

    I've been wanting to put together a 'pig' bike for years but so far haven't found any raw materials. In particular a 20" early '50s frame, fork etc. I was wondering if anybody in lower Mich might have some stuff? Trying to avoid having to get stuff shipped if I can. -Marc.

    'Garden' bikes.

    Anybody else cringe at the sight of a cool old bike slathered with white house paint, or pink spray paint (tires and all), stuck in a garden? There are a couple near me that desperately need to be liberated! Lol. Not that I'd ever advocate such a thing, but I wonder what they'd think waking up...

    What was your first bike?

    Mine was a brand new Schwinn Predator in '84 or '85. I can't remember the model for sure but I think it might have been a freeform. Blue anodized frame and wheels, pads, blue knobby tires, and a blue plastic seat. Every kid in the neighborhood wanted a ride on that bike! I rode the daylights out...

    Hello all! I'm new to the site but not to old bikes. This weekend I'm going to look at a '62 Schwinn Typhoon. It's the continuous twin bar frame, black with white painted rims and painted fenders. Complete bike in need of a deep clean and probably new tires and tubes. Seller wants $140 out of...
