Rusty/Patina Bicycle Gallery

[kingfish254]

The theme for my BO9 starsNbars bike was Red White and Rust.

 

[late for dinner]

I just couldn't wait to find another rusty old bike, so I made myself one.

I knew I should've labeled it.
[I wasn't sure if some of you folks only checked specific threads or not]

Its a 1939 Columbia Westfield Deluxe. It is missing the headlight/horn
and a rack Gem. Outside of that, everything's original outside the temporary crank-set and wheels.

I have the original rear wheel and crank set, just need work..

I didnt put much down on the bike to begin with, due to a lack of work, given the weather conditions among other [personal] reasons, I just didnt have much to spend. Bri-In-RI actually set me up with this, on a steal of a deal, knowing I didnt have much to begin with.. he really helped me out a lot on this one.

Where money provides, a headlight is definitely in the works.. but I think its gonna be a while before I can afford to drop another fifty frivolously.. though I hope it wont be too long,. [all play and no work makes Johnny a lazy berk.] haha.

Here is my 1974 Schwinn Continental grocery getter. I wish I took some as-found pictures.

Singlespeed for now. I plan to put the gears back on some time to help with weight. I sometimes pull a cargo trailer with it.

Love those fender braces!

 

[pedals]

Me too. I have to doctor the straight ones in the front. Really glad the curved ones are in good shape. Not bad for $50 altogether.

Little before and after for you guys sharing this Rusty Bucket with me.

still looking for suitable tank.

This is how it looked after owning it a few days, the 24" in front was shortly replaced by a matching bald 26" and the original front fender finally., The apes distracted from the overall look of the bike., and didnt match on top of it., back to OG bars with the grips from these apes.
The only cleaning thats been done was an Apple Cider Vinegar bath.,

This is how it sits now.
