Picked this up today. 1956 Phantom. Rims are shot but the rest of the bike will clean up nicely for a decent survivor rider. Only missing the horn, front lens and rear reflector.

Just picked this up. All original 3-speed balloon bike. Has original paint (Red faded to gold/green) and decals with S-2 rimset and correct Schwinn crash rail seat. Only missing correct tires and the Rocket Ray light. I'm thinking about just getting the light and leaving it as-is...

Picked this up in January. All Original Complete to the tubes...

Snagged this 1957 Green Hornet this morning off local Craigslist. Needs the right seat, light and bars. Decent paint that should clean up. Horn works. Good winter project.

Picked this up at the Memory Lane swap Friday. Complete OG 1980 MooseGoose in candy blue. I sold 5 bikes and bought 1 so it was a Great Show. Needs grips and a different seat to be complete but It's a survivor so I'll leave it as-is.

Found this Friday at an estate sale for $25 Original chrome Team Murray X24. Not high quality but it is OLD school and easier for me to ride since it's a 24" bike. Has a funky Troxel seat that appears original to me but I have seen catalog shots with Elina seats so I might swap it out when I...

Got this last weekend at a local auction. Complete and ALL original. Cleaned and ready for summer.

Picked this up Saturday from the original Owner. She got it for her 9th birthday in April of 1953. An only child, she said she decked it all out with the suicide spinner wheel, saddlebags, streamers, speedometer and crashrail seat to match her dad's Harley. Her dad replaced the girls chain...

Well here's a 90% complete original Schwinn Green Phantom that falls well into the RATROD catagory. Serial number under bottom bracket says it's a 1951. Only missing the rear light and front light cover + lens. Green Housepaint and rust over original Green and black. Locking springer without...

Girls bike but still fairly rare. Covered in green housepaint but almost complete (missing Light).

Another auction purchase from Saturday. This one is special since it's the only chrome Cleveland Welding Roadmaster example currently known to exist. Nice winter detailing project.

Got these at a local auction Saturday. Not sure on year, 1938 maybe? Silver King Boys and Girls rider pair. Boys has center drop rims laced to a morrow hub in rear and schwinn hub in front. Both bikes have replacement fenders and seats. Frames are exceptional for the era.

Here's a Garage sale find yesterday. Mostly complete aluminum frame 1935 Ladies Monark Silver King (first year). Only thing missing that I know of is the battery pack for the headlight. Needs recrome on the really rusted chainguard, crank, neck and wheel set. I was considering the frame for...

Here's my find of the month from Local CL (had to drive 55 miles but Hey!) 1952 Complete Original Green Phantom with all the bells & Whistles. Bought it from the Original Owner. Been hanging for 45+ years. Has some missing paint on one side of the tank and some silver paint on most of the...

Here is my entry in the RAT ROD bike build-off 4. Sending it out this week for sand blasting. I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Here are my 1950 Schwinn Panthers just cleaned and ready for summer. Found the Ladies last summer and the Mens last month. Ladies all original except lower delta rocket ray tray. Mens all original except rear rack (repaint), pedals(50's walds) and rocket ray light. Both horns and lights work.

Found this recently... Couldn't pass on it since it has really nice Red Center drop rimset with Black Out New Departure Hubs. Might end up at MLC or Ann Arbor this month since I'm runnin out of room...

Just picked this up last weekend. Going to be the base for my spring RatRod project. I thought the spraybomb would come off and reveal decent original paint but after a bit of stripping, I found that whoever painted it sanded through to the primer. Oh well, this way I won't feel bad about...

Hello from suburban Detroit. I collect Original Paint/equipment Pre-1960 Balloon tire bikes, Pre 1985 BMX INC bikes, and anything else that happens to catch my eye. Only been into this hobby for 1 1/2 years and have about 30 "collectable" bikes. Hope to post my first RatRod creation here when...
