I got this model of an Alfa Romeo Duetto with 3 bicycles on it. Scale is 1/43 Mebetoys, made in Italy. Does anyone else have any models cars with bicycles. Doors open, also.

Broke even going to the swap. I took my girlfriend with me this time. She freaked out at the swarm of flashlight at the back of the pick up at 5am trying to look at the bicycles, just as the full moon was setting. She thought they where crazy because of the full moon. I replied, "No, they do...

Here I am in Oswego, NY, 80 miles away from Rochester, NY and I am looking for a group to ride with. None of those fine bicycle people are logged in here at Ratrod saying anything about their rides. What have I been missing?

I will be there early.

I am also finding the same at bicycle swap meets. In the early mornings one group of dealers swarm and chase down the other dealers before the opening of the swaps and buy all of their bicycle for a cheap price. Then they double the price. They go and look at all of your stuff before the car and...

Have you tried rust?

Do not ask me. I use old English 3 and 10 speeds with fenders on dirt rails to trails.

Est'd 1951, people were smaller back then. Double top and down tube. "H" crank, Humber or Hercules?

Please, come over to this site. A few of your former members can over during last years troubles. We will not delete your messages if you are looking for non-Schwinn parts. The worst that we do is not reply because we do not know the answer. Also we are are always looking for different bicycles...

Maybe you should start with a woman's chopped mixte frame and put heavy springers on the front or an old mountain Rockshock piston style front. chopped mixte http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewto ... CRE'S+MATE

Good start, finish the bicycle the way you want. Then let the drug of finding other bicycles set in.

Unknown. I might rebuild it for girlfriend or use the parts to help rebuild an older men's bicycle. We have a few paired bicycles sets. A 1970's Raleigh Sprites and a 1940's Columbia/Westfield pair. It would give us a 3 speed pair.
