Have had this one for a while - got frame from Jaxon ( thanks ! :) a while back. Been on hold, but since I have a thing for 'import' Musclebikes, had to keep for later. Best I can find out it's a ' Road King' brand. Will be a simple rider-type rebuild,with some period parts and some newer...

Could post in fresh finds, but need input from the pros, so here goes, the semi condensed version. Guy a few weeks or a month back talks to me at the flea market and says he has a banana seat bike or two... talk more... says he has a chopper bike with shifter. Ok, got me interested...

Stopped at a house and bought a couple bikes ( girls Huffy and a Free Agent BMX ), Lady says she had another bike she did not put out because the wheel is bent. Asked to see it, and she rolls this out. Original Ukai Z2 rims are very slightly tweaked, could be trued, on '42 81' ACS hubs. Hutch...

Maybe this should be in fresh finds, but figured the BMX guys would appreciate it more. Stopped at a house and bought a couple bikes ( girls Huffy and a Free Agent BMX ), Lady says she had another bike she did not put out because the wheel is bent. Asked to see it, and she rolls this out...

Not much more to add - We found a bike near New Munster, Wis, seller would not ship. Curious if any RRB members close and would be willing to help us out.

so..... I get a call yesterday from a guy has a Chopper for sale. Thinks it's a 3 speed but it has a small little lever, so maybe a 3+2 ? Won't give me a price ( grr ). Finally decide to go for it, drove 50 miles round trip, in a blizzard and -1 wind chills.. This is what I found: Didn't...

Had a great time at the Spring Carlisle swap meet with my dad on thursday. Lot of good stuff, not quite as busy as years past ... almost bought a car, but decided to let it go. DID bring home a vanload of cool bikes - more than I've ever bought there before. Here's the 'group shot' as...

got this from a freind who was letting go of a few bikes. Western Flyer badged, non skiptooth, 26 x 2.125 rubber. Still debating on the direction to go with this one, but any onfo appreciated. enjoy .

picked a load of bikes this week,actually two truckloads full. 29 total, mostly lightweights. had the seller and my dad load and unload em, since I'm still recovering from apendix surgery ( but you can't keep a good bike hunter down, lol ) One included, was this Schwinn - my first balloon...

Well, not a complete bike, but a nice find nonetheless. found this pile of NOS fenders. not sure who made these, Wald maybe ? vintage razor edge fenders. black or white painted, still wrapped up. and one loose chrome 26" front. No braces, but nice straight fenders are much harder to...

Went to a multi estate auction this morning , with my mom :) . we both bought more than would fit in my van, oops. second trip to get it all. They'd advertised some bikes. so was not sure how they'd go . turns out pricing was pretty realistic. Got this 1978 Trailmate folding bike, as sown -...

Picked up this Kent " Lone Riser " bike yesterday. first pic as found. tinkered with it some today and came up with this . No idea what year or anything, did a exhaustive online search and no results. anyone ever seen one ? Guessing 1990's. Did ride it a little, rides ok , odd...

One of my other casual hobies,(blasphemy, I know ),besides bikes is dump digging for old bottles and cans. ) anyone else collect beer cans as a kid ?) Got stir crazy so went out yesterday afternoon before the storm hit. got out about an hour, ground is still pretty frozen to dig in...

Found this one today - price was right I think . Paint has quite a bit of wear, the rims have cleaned up ok, few spots where they have pits. forks nice, the tires are mismatched, unsure what was original. Both hold air, and I pumped up and was riding, nice riding bike. Not sure what to...
