    Westfield what?

    I'm at a loss on this one. No headbadge. Horizontal badge holes. Coffin skiptooth chaining leads me to believe Westfield. New departure model D. Deco stem. Thanks folks. I've been away for like 6 weeks, and this place is all different! Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

    These are my bikes. I never realized there were so many.

    Here we go. This pic list represents about 2/3 of my current projects. Some pics are from the day I got the bike, some are more recent. These are the only bikes here that are actually completed. They are all the result of someone needing a bike & asking me directly. I built these over the...

    Help spreading stays.

    How to spread my stays? Trying to stuff fat tires into an old frame. Can anyone recommend, possibly with a link, any single factory produced tool that I could use to get more space in the rear? I used a the park tool for lining up dropouts.. helped. But not quite the trick. Thanks in...

    Anyone know anything about Schwinn bicycles?

    Ok. What is the difference between a tornado and typhoon frame? Not the cantilever framed models, but the twin bar styled ones with two tubes running from head to rear stay. Did any of those frames come in 26" size? Thanks Lucas Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

    Hard bike to google

    Not much for me to go on. New departure rear hub, peaked fenders, not a skip tooth.. "general" branded. I think I've seen a bike with a similar junction behind the bb & it was a Columbia..? The middle tube being Arrow straight looks like my jc higgins. I don't recognize the chaining or...

    Schwinn Canti... Can you all fill in the rest?

    Was told it was a '55. Seems reasonable, but... Rear hub us a hi-stop. Front hub is a " schwinn approved 1 80 " Whats that? Rides nice. Thanks for looking. Spray bomb is thick, but i like it for now. Bobbed fender is cool. My favorite part of the bike is where the chain isn't blue. But...

    Reid Bikes

    Anyone have any inf or experience with Reid bikes? They call themselves an affordable brand. We got in 4 Reid fat bikes. All mtb. The first one, an Ares, went from box to built in 20 mins flat. All welds are cleaned up amazing well. Weight is decent. Finish is great. Components are decent...

    Indian Scout

    Need help figuring the year. Cant find refrence to cantilever scout frames anywhere. This one was fixed up using a schwinn at some point in the past, so its not at all original, although the paint is original, and mostly crust - free The rear is Shimano 333 (shudder). My first priority is...

    Raleigh Rambler MX

    So. What is it? Whats it worth? Just kidding. Its priceless. I would like some input on the year. Looks original, except for nasty ratty frame hack @ 6 way seat tube junction...and the front brake looks mightily like a period correct bike shop add-on. Love it. Works great which is good cause the...
