And here I thought they had some kind of mechanism that made them turn with the handlebars.

They do, it's called a thumb
We're talking 1950s-60s technology here.

That Huffy is sharp

 

[RustyGold]

Were they intended to be turn signal indicators, originally?

Cool stuff!

Yes, pretty clever mechanism.

Yes, pretty clever mechanism.

I think with a couple tiny pulleys and some string a guy could make them automatic...

We had steam powered and electric cars 100 years ago...So it could happen.

Drove down to Jacksonville last night and picked up the 55 Huffy and I was also able to pick up @karfer67 's first build "the Higgins".

Higgins = SOLD/TRADED to Adam.
Huffy = SOLD

 

[RustyGold]

A pair of beauties...my eyes are having troubles picking which one to look at

Got these lights, horn, and other cool stuff in a trade with @Voyager Al recently.

SOLD almost everything except the cool LEDized antique light

Took another JAX roadtrip tonight and picked up this pink Fink.

SOLD

 

[blwnmny]

I didn't know they made a pink Rat Fink. Huh.

I think they have made them off and on even going back to the original frame. They don't make as many as the green ones though. I think the pink ones are discontinued again. This one is the aluminum frame too.

 

[aceuh]

I drove about 3.5 hours to buy a pink fink a few years ago... The guy said that it looked like new

The bike he showed me looked like it had been used as a commuter bike... Rain or shine... It was rough and rusty... And he wanted a premium for it...I walked away from that one

Picked up this Hawthorne zep skiptooth at lunch today.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

[emoji146]fish, the only thing I gained from lunch was calories...

Picked up this PriorityDistrict 2.0 with a three speed Gates Belt Drive system. Gonna salvage the drivetrain for future use on my Wingbar. The 700c tires will great on a motobike too. They are a cool gummy olive drab that would be perfect on my Harley Davis-son.
