I have a shimano 3cc coaster hub - it shifts fine but the coaster only works in 3 or high gear - any ideas? I'm thinking I might just pull off the coaster arm side so I can see the internals without really taking it apart. Shoot in some cleaner then some lube.

Tribune Sports Roadster - Westfield Mass - also has an old Columbia decal on the seattube - single speed coaster New Departure Hubs - check out the fins on the front and rear fenders, has a white tip painted rear fender which didn't really happen much until the English started doing it in WWII...

I might consider trading for something decent for my 29er or maybe an old british rod brake 28"

kinda want to build it up myself but watcha got?

I think other than cleaning the chrome and repacking the BB I'll leave it alone, throw on an alloy 26" coaster wheel set with blackwall 1.25 slicks, mustache bars and a leather seat.

probably originally a 3 speed coaster brake, double top tube lugged frame

picked this up recently and thinking about selling, whats a fair price? I was considering 300

so what do you think this is,

maybe so but I thought the earlier ones had a U brake in the back and possibly a lugged frame, either way it's an 80s bike.

1980s Cascade, 20 inch cromoly frame, Bullmoose bars, upgraded to 7 speed cassette but still has the Suntour thumbies, Brooks spring saddle and leatherette grips, big 2.5 Bontrager tires, ..

ouch...better use a couple zip ties too.

I took on of those crap flimsy hybrid bike suspension seatposts apart, the top half is pretty solid and nests nicely with the old school post with the help of a couple hose clamps. Seems pretty solid but I haven't ridden it yet.

I've had this for awhile but recently pulled it out of the back of the shed. No graphics or headbadge but I think its a late 30s Colson with a Morrow hub.

getting there

early 50s probably - I think I'll just clean it up and put on some cream colored tires.
