Just was cleaning out my wifes grandfathers back yard and found this gem ;) I need some pedals, a chain, rear reflectors, grips, seat, and tank but i love it as-is.... If you have some crusty parts to match that I need PM me.

Just moved into a new house that is surrounded by desert mountain trails and looking for some ideas for the best bike to buy whether new or to look for something specific used... I am 6' tall so need something that would fit me. Never really ridden off road so open to any suggestions or ideas...

I am getting ready to strip the paint off a bunch of parts and started with a heavy duty stripper, but have seen people using grinders with different wheels on them to remove paint etc... Just curious what your favorite way to strip paint before a respray without damaging the metal... Sorry...

Love the paint on this one! First dibs when you get tired of looking at it!

I'm open to prewar trades if you have any, but still just testing the waters...

I am thinking about putting this up for sale to focus solely on prewar bikes (two of which just popped up recently I want...) I am heading out of town tomorrow for a quick vacation so thougt I would throw this out there to see if I got any offers PM'd to me while I am gone as I am not exactly...

Figured I would bump this with a pic of my 1950 Higgins... Looking for a nice rider quality troxel seat for it still... All OG paint and equipment otherwise....

I say sell me the seat for my bike and then do whatever you wish!

I am not positive but I am pretty sure it has been repainted and re-chromed. It looks way to shiny to be OG

I am interested in any period correct accessories if you have something that would look cool on here like a light, horn, tank, etc.... I also want a drop stand for it as well if anyone has one cheap! Thanks

I just bought this 1935? Wards Hawthorne as a birthday present to myself, what are your thoughts? I can tell the kickstand is wrong as it should have a drop stand and clip on the rear fender I believe. The seller told me the kickstand was a rare elgin pencil stand but I have no idea...

Love this one!! Great find!

Nice! Whens someone gonna sell me a cool bike like this???

Nice, I agree that there is no good pickin in Arizona that I have found either!! I would love to know what other hot rod and antique stuff you found, I collect a little bit of everything...
