    Spring time '65

    Well this cleaned up nicely and once I get a chain put on it and some time I will take it for a ride. It needs correct badge and I'm still on the hunt for a chain guard but for now this one will fill the spot. I have a few Stingrays of various years and styles, I very much like these early...

    Spring time '65

    I played hooky(it's good to be the boss) today and picked up this MA serial December '65 Stingray. It was certainly dressed and sold in '66, original frame,fork, stem and bars +. The sissy bar, pad and banana seat were a real bonus, my guess was an attempt too bring an older Stingray up to snuff...

    WANTED Huffy Rail frame

    I 'm looking for a Huffy rail bike frame as complete as I can find. I believe there were some other brands that had a similar frame, I would be interested in any longer framed muscle bike. I have $ or parts for trade, let me know if there is any out there. Thanks

    Hi to all

    Welcome Walter, I love my patina bikes as well and have a bunch. I also stared with my eye on one and it quickly got out of control. I had as many as 30 bikes in my fervor early on. I felt like I could not pass up any bike I saw. After I realized what it was I really wanted to collect I refined...

    New shop help

    My dogs would more likely lick someone to death once they get in front of them, but you can not walk past our house without her letting you know someone is there. If you actually approach the house she lets everyone in the neighbor hood know haha. I do not live in a high crime area but things...

    New shop help

    Sorry about the loss of your buddy I dread that day as my kids are young and it will be extra hard on them. We have 2 rescue dogs from "out of the Pits" they deal with mostly rescued Pits. Our first boy Ace came from SC in his moms belly and was born at a shelter. He is such a sweet good boy...

    Show Your Muscle Bikes

    A little lady muscle this Friday morning. and I do like muscular ladies. Here is a 1969 Fair Lady in blue I dressed up with a banana seat and ape hangers. The second belongs to my daughter, I bought it for her before she could ride. It is a one year only color Burgundy 1972 Fair Lady with...

    Does anyone know what year this is?

    I agree early '60s, I had same guard on a '61 I sold. It is a Columbia made bike I believe. I have the correct rear rack for that.

    .......and then you end up not doing squat

    I wish @Endlesschain had never started this thread. Now I know I'm not alone in my time wasting and I'm much more at ease with it. As we say on the golf course "Paralysis by analysis"

    Rustoleum new spray top = fail.

    This seems to be the new American way, over designed and unneeded changes. How many of those who redesigned the spray can have actually sprayed any more then a dot on a test wall in a controlled environment. Lots of people think it is the product that gets the results, most never consider that...

    .......and then you end up not doing squat

    I have not wasted so much time since buying my ultrasonic cleaner, and all my small parts are nice and clean. I think it's time for my Sunday night safety meeting right about now.
