    Help IDing this trike, please.

    Thanks for the input. That was my first thought as well. I've had a few Worksman bikes and the welds look familiar.

    Help IDing this trike, please.

    I picked this up at a garage sale this weekend for $20. It appears that it was originally dark blue. It is a 24" trike. The baskets brackets are Wald, the rear hub is a Shimano 3.3.3 coaster brake model. I need to replace the bearings in the headset, not sure of the size. I recently moved and...

    Guy across the street had a garage sale, picked up two Emory Bikes.

    I think so, we haven't completed the deal yet.

    I'm thinking I should sell the blue one if you are interested. I may have a truck going to San Diego next week, actually. Let me know if your interested, $150 delivered to SD.

    Actually, I think I'm going to sell the blue one.

    The gent across the street had a garage sale and had these two Emory Bikes for sale. So, of course, I had to buy them. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them, I have a back injury that prevents me from riding. (But not buying). They look to be pretty original, the grips even say "Made in...

    NEW STUFF AT WAL-MART (Op Bike PICS ADDED)

    Went back to Walmart a few days ago and they had sold about half of the ones I took pictures of about a week earlier. So that's about 40 bikes in 8 days. So I guess someone thinks they look good. I'm not one of those. The top bar looks really strange to me. And even stranger in person than it...

    NEW STUFF AT WAL-MART (Op Bike PICS ADDED)

    My local Walmart yesterday: They had about 100 of them. Lots of different colors. They are aluminum and the price was $199. My son is 10 years old, for some scale (maybe).

    straight bar frame?

    I got my info from LEON DIXON/NBHAA.com. I guess there is discussion both ways as to whether or not it's worthwhile to go to him. I paid something like $26 for the info. It was the first old bike I've ever purchased and I came across his website and had him ID it. I'm comfortable that the info I...

    straight bar frame?

    I'm no expert, but I have a '51 CWC 24" boys bike that is very similar. The serial number is A60222 AC with a small "w" in the "C". It has been IDed as a 1951 CWC "Jet". The rear dropouts are idenical to your frame. The rest of the frame is similar, but yours looks like the joints are smoother...

    20" cream tires?

    I found these on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-1-PAIR-O-COLOURED-STREET-BMX-TYRES-TIRES-GUM-CREME-CREAM-20-X-2-125-LS214-/270927161918?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&var=&hash=item3f14846a3e Overseas, but seems pretty reasonable, less than $30 for a pair delivered.

    My first build, a Schwinn Heavy Duti

    The goat is a Nigerian Dwarf. They're a bit bigger than pygmy, but still manageable (usually). I've got four, two wethers and doe and month old kid. I just have them for weed control, but they're more pets than anything. They get in the way sometimes, but they're still kind of fun to have around.

    NEW STUFF AT WAL-MART (Op Bike PICS ADDED)

    They usually have more than just a few bikes. Yesterday they must have had thirty. This was the only cruiser style, most were multi-speed mountain bike types. At another local store I passed on an Onyx that was 40% off a few months ago. I guess I do have a little self contol.

    My first build, a Schwinn Heavy Duti

    My LBS had some Schwinn stencils, so it thought I'd try out some stencil painting today. The paint job has been curing four day, thought I'd be OK. Bought the green low tack tape for a bit of extra confidence. Put the stencils down and sprayed it white. One side looked good but apparently...

    NEW STUFF AT WAL-MART (Op Bike PICS ADDED)

    I'm almost afraid to go to Walmart anymore. Everytime I go I come home with another bike. This is number 5!
