    Schwinn Panther III

    Just picked this up about an hour ago. This Schwinn needs tires, a cable and some TLC when it gets a little warmer, it's 34 degrees out right now! Dig those saddlebags!!! Far out....oops am I showing my age !?!

    American Pickers

    I like watching the show because I too like digging through other peoples "junk". I used to chase down every "bike in a barn" story that I heard of.

    Royce Union and a Rollfast

    I was with a buddy of mine today and we stopped by a friend of his, and Lo and Behold these bikes were sitting up against the shed in the backyard. After asking about them and generally BS-ing a bit I loaded them both in my truck! Any ideas about what year these are? Thanks for any help...

    Bike Frame Material

    I am new and I am wondering is there a certain type of tubing that is used the most for frame building or altering an old frame? I had to stretch an old Murray frame for a project I'm working on. I scavenged a piece of 1' conduit. It bent nice and I figure if I sand blast the galvanization...

    Bike Builders In Michigan?

    I'm here in the "thumb" of Michigan, but I'm wondering if there are any groups of bike builders anywhere in Michigan? Not necessarily a club but :lol: builders that get together and swap ideas? Right now I'm the goofy old guy with the weird bicycles....that's OK with me but I'm just...

    1936 Monark Silver King

    I stumbled on this bike sitting in a rural backyard. I had to pull it out of the weeds and tall grass that had grown up and through the spokes. I bought this and a Murray frame for $40. When I got it home I shot some air in the tires and it's been 4 days since and they haven't gone flat!

    HI _SPEED Special

    This is an 60's AMF Roadmaster frame and a tank from a Monark bike. The rest is new stuff. It's been hand striped.

    Monark Silver King

    I went over to guys house to look at a frame for the "Indian" bike I want to build and I found this up against a shed in his backyard. I understand the frame is all aluminum. It's got a fork lock and a center stand kickstand. The fender lights are not bent up but the lens are gone and a piece...

    The Indian Chief

    Here's a project I just begun collecting parts for. Being an old motorcycle rider (I'm old and my motorcycles are old!) I found these Indian style fenders. I have a couple of frames I've picked up one is an AMF Roadmaster frame and the other is a Schwinn. I have to see which one will work...

    Hello from the "Thumb" of Michigan

    Hi , my name is Bob and like I said I'm here in Michigan. I've got grandkids that learned to ride bikes and wanted me to ride with them. I decided I couldn't have just a "bike" I had to build something different. So that's how the idea for the HI-SPEED Special began. I began collecting...
