Yeah,
The missing chainguard is really the only down deal. I don't see the truss rods in any of the pics either. Those are a little tough to find as well.
The rest of the stuff would be fairly easy . Unless of course you have to have an og putter stem and smaller type fender mount tombstone reflector. Oh! And don't forget the aluminium torpedo light.
This bike is one of those, that has just enough there, to make you want to buy it, and then you'll spend the rest of your life looking for the missing 10%.
 
Thank you LOVE IS IN THE AIR

I am feeling some REAL LOVE ,the bike at copake went to 4,000 in a few breaths ..I bet this is going to be another cycle school lesson.Thanks for bringing it to my attention ,, I just inherited money ,,and it is burning a hole in my cycle pocket ,,walter branche ,, wanting to join the Huffman rescue project
 
Thank you

I know huh? usually I hear from at least half a dozen people asking what I think, this time silence. so... either no one is curious (which based on the bidding already I don't believe), or everyone hopes this one flies under the radar (which is impossible...at least now it is!:rolleyes:)
maybe I'll not answer the "how much do you think it will go for" questions, and just tell people to bid and find out. :p

this much I will say:
there are somewhere between 50 and 100 Firestone Fleetwood Supremes.
while nice, this one is missing a few pieces, sadly one of the missing pieces is the chain guard so whoever gets it will be looking for an original black Firestone guard.
and finally, these don't really come up all that often so if you want it, bid to win!

BID TO WIN , thank you for the words..........-How much is the chain guard ??, this is going to be a long 6 days ,, at least at copake the pain only lasted for a little while!!! walter branche

I thought briefly about letting this one slide under the radar before I posted it, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I was going to let the 4 bar Monark that Rookie attained slide and the Tandem wood wheeled Monarch slide, but I just couldn't do that either. I would prefer to see someone from the cabe get these bicycles, that way they at least have a fighting chance to stay in one piece and stay complete and appreciated. I would buy them all if I could, but sadly I cannot. Oddly enough, I was just telling my lady the other day that if I could find a Huffman Supreme and a Pre war motobike (mead ranger, hawthorne flyer, iver johnson, dayton, packard, or shelby traveler) I would sell the rest of my collection, except my Panther and I would never spend my nights looking at bicycle porn again. Then this popped up!!! It's already out of my price range, but I hope whoever wins it, loves it and appreciates it. Granted there are missing parts, but half the fun of this addiction is the hunt! As long as this bicycle doesn't end up back on the Bay in two weeks in pieces, I'll be content knowing that sharing this listing was the right thing to do.
And Walter, if you win it, which I hope you do. I expect a thread in the Project Section. So that I may enjoy the restoration process of this fine example of early American leisure.

thanks,
judd

I think rebirthbikes has hit on something important. as it stands someone told me the current top bidder is one of the CABE members known for blowing bikes apart. the thing we learned with the Copake bike is that these kinda go for more complete than the parts go for separately. I think, for the most part, the blow it apart mentality only pays off with the Schwinns. with these and others like it, there just aren't enough of them out there.
the chain guard is going to cost a bit, probably in the $400 range, then there are the other parts that are missing. if it was truly complete with everything correct, this one would part out pretty well, thankfully it isn't. this one is missing most of the high dollar items. the light just went by on ebay for just over $500. the tombstone reflector is a $200 item, the Putter stem is another $400-$500 item if you can even find one. as mentioned, even the small items you don't think of are hard to find.
I think the person to really go for this one is going to have to really want an original paint 5 condition pretty badly and he's also going to have to be patient in building it.
maybe the guy with the Copake bike will go crazy on this one too... who knows.:confused:
