Plan is to turn this into nice rider. Before tearing this down I put on new tires, new shifter cabling, and a some strategically place drops of oil. I wanted to ride it in its original condition. It’s heavy. It’s tired. It’s classy as sassy. The brooks saddle didn’t survive 2 miles...

Just picked this one up! Working dynamo front hub. Locking fork but the key is missing. 1962 license plate SA hub stamped 1960 It has a horn that takes a D cell battery. The reflectors on the wheels are curious. I thought that started in the mid 70s. Maybe they were added?

I am looking for some spare parts for a Sturmey Archer AW 3 speed. Specifically need the HMN 132 cone locknuts. Will buy any non working Sturmey archer hub with cone locknuts.

A friend just sent me these pictures from his late father in laws garage. The first bike has a head-badge that reads “BIRD Rowletts”. Rowletts was a bike store here in Richmond that shut down a few years back. My guess (based on limited experience) is a pre-war Shelby. Would love some...

Started a build thread on this earlier, but hit pause so I could enter the swbo. https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/1948-triumph.119223/ Right now I have a pile of parts:

This was fun. There was a lot of experimenting with paint. I learned some things that didn’t work and also learned some things that did work. It was also my first try at an oxalic acid bath. A technique that surely will be useful in the future. Thanks everyone for your help and interest...

I am halfway through this build. Thought you all would appreciate it. This bike had been sitting outside of a local junk store for years. I finally made a lowball offer and bought it for $17 This is my first attempt at rod brakes. I have already torn the bike apart and am in the...

I have two of these. Complete 10 speed positron 2. $5 each plus shipping. I think the positron cables are hard to find.

His and Hers

I have a handful of these invisible bike stands. Perfect way to take a great picture of your bike. Fits in your pocket. $11 shipped within the states.

I was given a few boxes of old bike parts. (Mostly junk) Anyone know what this shifter is for? It has two cables. Labeled Shimano Twist Grip Control.

These came off a dept store 3 speed. Shimano 3 speed hub. I do not have the shifter. $25 plus actual shipping (48 states). Or local pickup (Ashland ,Va)

I need to do a little unhoarding. This will all go to the recycling bin at the dump this weekend. Unless anyone wants it. You pay shipping or pick up. (Richmond VA) Probably all just trash, but you never know.

Frame is in great shape. Extra large frame for tall rider. Aluminum top tube, down tube, and seat tub. Lugged to some sort of steal rear triangle. Rear brake outer cable is internally routed. I left the old cable installed as it might be helpful to pull a new cable housing through...

This is a long shot… I am missing one bolt to attach a Suntour Roller Cam Brake Pictured below are two bolts. The bottom one is correct. The shank needs to be 6mm long. The top bolt shank is .5mm too short, which causes it to pinch the brake arm in place. I may try to file the...

Just picked this one up. Couldn’t resist. Will get a deluxe tune up and detailing and will then be looking for a new owner. I’m guessing 1986 based on the stamp on the rear hub.

I’m in! First step is to do something about this rust. Might try an OA bath.

Not my ad. Thought someone might want this. https://newjersey.craigslist.org/bik/d/morris-plains-vintage-bicycles/7655351403.html
