Sunday's Show and Tell...6/8/25

[BRadzGarage]

A friend went picking over the memorial weekend and he posted his haul. Within that haul was a 1932 Schwinn. Out of curiosity, I message him about what the plans is for it. He had many other individuals ask about it also which he informed he would let it for for $150 but I had to wait until the others passed. There was one guy who was going to snag it but the friend didnt want to let it go to him due to they were going to paint the bike. So we agreed, as long as I don't paint it, its mine. Didnt take me long and I was up there to grab it. Fun part, the bell even still works.

What do they call that on the lower right?
Looks like it's something you'd have to hold onto with both hands while swimming across Turtle Creek! Lol

Another solid weekend of garage sales. Got a nice 4 jaw chuck and a steady rest for the 16 inch southbend. Also got a big tub of vintage hot wheels stuff because I couldn't pass on it.

Spent last week taking a small parts replication class at McPherson College’s Antique Automobile Restoration Summer Institute. Fellow CABER Jeff Kidder was also there, @Blue Streak .

I've seen that kustom green Oldsmobile at the Stray Kat 500 car show in Dewey, Oklahoma a few times. Love that car, and the others you shared too!

I spent more time building my klunker than picking up anything new this week, but one of my neighbors gifted me 4 bicycle inner tubes he found in his garage, and I bought my first tie dye shirt in 20 years at a local VW car show yesterday.

Got this sweet hand brazed truss style rack for the Continental from eBay.

Dad and Brother brought me home a couple of crusty Colsons for parts.

1939 Firestone Cruiser with a good stem and rack.

Does anyone recognize this strange utilitarian chain guard??
1935ish Delmar Simmons Hardware Co. badged Colson with what I assumed was a good stem and drop stand...

Bevlok Stem had a little "derp" to it! I really like these thick fenders too, but don't have anything the right age/size/brand to put them on. Err, maybe the Snyder frame/fork I was given would look good with these fenders, wheels, and a boiled linseed oil treatment.
While I was in Indy picking up some wheels(that I didn't take pictures of), I stopped in an antique shop and saw a lot of really cool non-bike stuff. The things I wanted to take home with me were either too big to fit in the car or overpriced.
Price was too high($595) for me on this Humber bike too. 1950ish?? Someone else here may be interested though.

Sturmey hub wasn't where I could roll it to see a date, but I got the serial.

I laughed out loud way too hard when I saw this. Had to bring Mr. Bill home! Ha

A Don Mainland built, 1982 Schwinn Superior frame. Late-August build from 4-digit tag on the badge (I have the correct Tange fork, but not pictured). By this point, they switched over to the art deco style decals that appear on the ‘83 Superiors.
