I went to get dinner, came back, and it had sold. The meal was not worth losing out on this bike!

I was actually just explaining this method to another member that came to visit and purchase a bike. I have used this on several forks. Actually got the idea from watching one of those fork-straightening tools. It just looked like a jack with notches to fit the axle and a curve and slot to fit...

Well, lowered to $350. My guess is that the frame/fork/badge is worth that. Add a decent seat, seatpost, 28" clinchers, prewar handlebars with wood/leather grips. Any takers?

I have been looking for a mens bike (or even a frame) in this great color for a long time. Can't believe how nice that one is!

Dropping to $250 for a limited time. Need cash for a project. If you like it now is the time to come and get it.

The rear tire is the correct size, but a little rough. I will include an english size Michelin Roadster tire for the rear. Front tire is wrong size and I don't have a correct one for it. Dropping to $300 if you hurry.

I use a green marine grease. No issues for the past 10 years. I had the same problem reported by all who used white lithium. It apparently, with age, becomes candle wax? The stuff I have removed had literally gotten that hard. You could pinch a clump and it would break rather than squishing down.

I just take a inner tube smaller than the rim I want to protect. Cut it along the inside so you get the smallest diameter. That way it is already one piece, no need for glue or tape. But I have used layers of duct tape and other random things. Also, old inner tubes are great for use on old...

I used to shop there quite a bit when I lived in Richmond. They are still open. Maybe they have a few in a box and would sell you one?

Need to get some cash flowing for a bigger project. Also, can't seem to locate the badge. So... lowering it to $300 picked up for a limited time. If I do find the badge I will include it.

Need to get some cash flowing. Dropped this one to $250 for a limited time.

I didn't even think to measure. I will find out tomorrow. I am just over 5'9" and it rides well for me. And that is with the seat where it is set at, so I would guess around 21".

This appears to be a 50's BSA. Jeweled pedals, functioning rod brakes, wrong size tires someone threw onto the rims for some odd reason. Beefy, beefy, I mean BEEFY, front stand and basket holder. Brooks saddle, sad repaint. I will include a giant vintage wicker basket that fits perfectly into...

I am being told that this is definitely a teens bike rather than early 20's. But I added a pair of true 28" steel clinchers from a mangled 22 Crusader. Luckily , 27x1-1/4 tires fit. The original 28" tires for these would have the same ID, but slightly larger OD. The grips were carved by someone...

1939 Westfield Peerless badged. Badge says Peerless, everything else says Columbia. Is a "Custom Deluxe", as screened on the downtube. Tank is not original, but is a close match done with several shades of paint, distressed and with real rust coming through. So far, nobody has noticed that it is...

This is a 36 Mead Crusader with Carlisle whitewalls. Pretty nice rider, probably currently my favorite to get around on.. Seat is worn. Probably could use cleaning overall. I think the paint would come back red with some cleaner polish. Tank is nice and clean, all the graphics are fair. Has the...

Any ideas? I have seen a few like this on here before, but didn't own one at the time to warrant trying to commit the info to memory. Tried looking at past threads for racks and didn't see them.

The inside of the space created is about 13.5x6.5 Doubt a grocery bag would fit. If the above basket was smaller it would look cool in there. I'm wondering why they made the end curved rather than making the whole thing boxy.

Has anybody ever had one like this? Does it maybe have a specific purpose or is it just for carrying things in general? I don't see any manufacturer stampings. Maybe someone has some catalog pictures of one?

Over the years, I would keep bolt-on kickstands because I always have one to fit any build. Now it is time to make some room. The 8 on the right are WALD. On the left is an Atwood, a Greenfield, and some unstamped stands off of older free-spirits and stuff like that. It would be difficult to...

C'mon everybody. If I can at least find out the time period of manufacture, I can determine if I want it on my Mead.

There is some rust but also still has a lot of the original black paint, and what looks like possibly an original screw with the low-profile head and square nut. Glass is very nice, clean, no chips. Don't see any visible scuffs, scrapes or scratches on the lens either. Stamped WALD MFG. CO. INC...

In good shape. Post on back is solid, has good threads and so does the securing nut. Over all diameter is a little over 1.5", visible glass diameter is about 1-3/8". $37 shipped

Are you still looking? I have a bag of flat braces I can check the measurements on. They are rusty but is surface, should sand right off. Let me know.

Should it have the Columbia script on the hub?

I have a Westfield with that frame style and chainring. Mine is badged Peerless though. I guess they are all just budget-model Columbias.

I really like it. It can fold down to act as a normal rack, or fold upwards to hold things inside. It reminds me of the produce basket racks like a friend of mine has on the back of his cycletruck, except his is round and doesn't fold or anything. Anyways, I just want to know more about it. I am...

No idea what this is really for, bike, car, motorcycle? It would look great on the rear fender of a bicycle. Especially if your bicycle is a 1932. Latin script: SPES MEA IN DEO EST Edit: just checked the translation "My hope is in god" $32 shipped

"A" is an Eagle lock with key. Key say Eagle as well and letters NMCKC. $30 shipped "B" is a CYCLOC. $40 shipped ***SOLD*** Both locks work as they should

Have two available. Both have minor wrinkling on the ears as you can see in the pics. I thought about putting them in a vice between two flat pieces of metal, but I will let the next owners try. "A" does not say Goodrich, and the reflector has cracks, but the pieces don't move and I can't see...

This has old original cloth-covered wire in poor shape. As a result, while testing the bulb (which initially worked) the exposed hot wire contacted the mount, blowing the bulb. So you will need a 6V bulb and some wire. But the mount is really cool. Has a rusty visor which has a spot for a...

Like the title says. Pretty basic equipment.UPDATE: I found the front extension. It has the multiple holes on each side to adjust it to fit any bike. So that is included now. Just needs the screws that hold it to the front of the rack. I will remove the screws that hold the lower braces together...

I believe this is correct for some prewar Iver Johnsons. I just think it is a good option for any bike that you would like to put a rack and stand on. Especially if you frame doesn't have the ears for a stand. Screws are likely not correct. I have only seen one in person other than this one, and...

Wow! I am glad to see a show like this happening so close to me. With all the bikes that show up at the Farmington VW swaps, this is a great idea. I will definitely plan on being there and bringing plenty of bikes to show.

The truck is full and I can bring about half of what I'd like to.

I did not use steel wool. I wiped with wd40 and a rag. That just got the surface rust and grime off of the top. I was careful with the cleaner polish. The white pinstripes didn't fade at all. But still be careful, rub lightly on the white and if you see significant removal just stop. I wouldn't...

I wouldn't bother with OA. I had a 36 Oriole, but it was the other frame style. It looked like solid rust, so I wiped it down with WD40. That showed some promising red and hints of the pinstripes. Then I used Mothers brand cleaner polish compound. It really brought out the red and white. Given...

I believe BL serial makes it a 75. 75 was also the only year with a chainguard bolted to the chainring rather than a guard that bolted to the frame I think.

These things had such killer style. How well do those forks actually hold up to hard riding? Not mountain bike riding, but just bumpy street miles.

I think it says "Rugby"

My guess is that you actually only need a bushing the thickness of the chainring, with an O.D. the same as the crank hole, and an I.D. the size of the crank. It would be sandwiched between the crank arm flange and the crank nut anyways, and the bushing would allow the chainring to spin. I...

The patent pictures don't show anything. I will read through the patent when I get home from work this evening, and see if anything is described.

Can anyone post a picture of this center washer/bearing assembly? I'm not even sure what to be looking for. I have a feeling that I don't have it. But then again, I looked at several that have sold, and didn't even know that the center washer existed, so they must be quick to disappear.
