Jake, someone bit on my "Do you have any adult bikes for sale?" yard sale question. Looks like am getting an adult trike and a cruiser tomorrow morning for three Jacksons. I want to do a chopper trike bad (and not a OCC chopper). Wish me luck. Deals are rolling in faster than I can do anything with them.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 9/17 Nirve Cruiser

Picked this ladies (unisex) Nirve cruiser that has a bad red paint job, but nice green rims and a faux leather seat and grips. The tires have a little dry rot, but they have a funky flower tread.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 9/17 Western Flyer Trike

I picked up this Western Flyer Trike along with the Nirve cruiser for three Jacksons.
I am thinking this may become a chopper trike with a Nirve Clutch kids chopper frame I have.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 9/20 Old Elgin for Free

Just sold the $60 Trek 7200 for $330 right after I ordered this old Elgin from yeshoney. Basically that makes the Elgin free with over $200 to spare.
I am looking forward to recieving this bike. It will be my first pre-war bike ever.
I may put the Onyx 29er wheels on it for fun!

I got that exact Trek (only in burgandy/silver) out of someone's trash, it was REAL rough, it's the frame I'm using for my SS MTB, using 26" Araya wheels and an old Tange rigid fork, gotta figure out what to do about rear breaks since the bike is set up for 700s.

Love that Hardrock, I could probably sell that here for about, $50, if I was lucky. haha

I cleared $270 profit on the Trek and $170 profit on the Hardrock. Not bad for a $100 combined investment.
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 9/25 50s Huffman Custom Liner Frame

Sold a Boston Whaler bow rail for $150 and I paid $10 for it. So I am using part of the profit to buy this cool early 50s Huffman Custom Liner from kickbackcycles along with a cool hood ornament. Otherwise this weekend was a total dud for any yard sale finds.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 9/30 1941 Huffman Dayton

Another cool bike from RRB. I love this beehive springer. Looking forward to stop buying and start building.

To me that looks like a 50's huffy and a 40's snyder springer fork used one the 41 Hawthorne comets and such.

Thanks for the input. It may be. It was supposed to be a mix-match. I'm not going to restore it, I just bought it because it will look cool. :mrgreen:
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 9/30 1941 Huffman Dayton

What is the serial number on the frame You can date it from that.
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 9/30 1941 Huffman Dayton

Thanks for sharing your awesome completed ride!
I will post the serial number once I actually have possesion of the bike.
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 10/2 Manton and Smith Frame

Oz "dealed" me into buying another old frame. I couldn't pass up the Manton and Smith frame.
I need to stop buying. It goes against my natural instinct to sell.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds - 10/4 2 Harley Whitewalls + 2 More OCCs

I picked up two more OCC's today and stopped by the Harley dealer and found a matching pair of WHITEWALLS!!! These will all go towards my future chopper trike build.
