Picked up this tall Schwinn World Sport to flip

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Wow! That is a tall frame!
Should bring good money to the right person, so hard to find the big bikes if you are on the tall side...

Luke.

Tyler came through with the cool Zeppelin guard that may end up on my AirFlow / FloCycle. American Vintage Bicycle Supply rocks and needs to get some t-shirts made with their logo.

Guard used on SaltHammer in BO11 (SOLD SaltHammer)

chainguard really flows nice on that whateveritis bike

Thanks, I like the way the front curve of the guard somewhat mirrors the rear looptail curve of the frame.
The bike is a Hawthorne Air-Flow which is basically a Monark Silver King Flo-Cycle with a different headtube casting.

I also picked up this cool old Japanese made tin toy car. Looks like it is based on a 1955 Pontiac Star Chief

(SOLD)

Road to Charleston after work tonight to pick up a deal on a PHAT chopper that had a Nexus 7 roller brake wheelset. I couldn't believe that another seller still had a Girvin fork too. It was bargain priced for the past 2 months and no one has picked it up. Well worth the 5 hour round trip. The wheelset is purple to match the frame.

One day Girvin, one day I'll have you. (Or maybe one like it)

 

[kingfish254]

I already did a Beehive Girvin on starsNbars.
Maybe I'll make a Monark Girvin out of this one.

Scored a 1946/7 Rollfast Whizzer today!!!! The one that almost got away!
Rolled up on it at a yard sale with a SOLD sign. Got the number of the buyer and a couple of hours later it was mine. It even has the original bill of sale, an original photo, an original engine manual, and a 1949 Popular Science magazine and ad.

TRADED

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Score!

Luke.

 

[Fv2]

And here I thought I scored some good stuff today.
Awesome find.

 

[kingfish254]

Got this nice dropstand a few days ago.

 

[kingfish254]

UPDATE. (one week later) - Drove about 2 hours North and traded the Whizzer for these two original paint beauties.

1952 Schwinn DX

SOLD

1951 Shelby Flyer

SOLD

 

[rrtbike]

Wow. Nice Shelby! I love the color.

 

[kingfish254]

Got a text just before lunch from a guy that I bought the Murray tanker from a few months back. He wanted to thin the heard a little more and gave me first shot before CL.

Got this sweet Elgin curved seattube with fenders and wrong fork.

And this Rollfast chrome middleweight tanklight bike. He grew up around the corner from the Snyder plant

 

[kingfish254]

Got this cool Thudbuster seat post from @yoothgeye along with a seatpost clamp that I needed for my Ruff Dean frame. I will probably end up shortening the post a little due to the curved seat tube. Check out the cool Wald Repair Tags too.

SOLD Thudbuster
