I know most of the bikes except for the painted blue bike. It has an art deco chain guard.

The Western Flyer has a great looking decal.

I am a bike charity, so I flip bikes to make money for our local Relay for Life. If you could help with a value, that would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm somewhat kinda pretty sure the painted blue bike is a Shelby...though, as RustyS states, it is probably a juvenile which is throwing off the proportions for me, which is why I'm only somewhat kinda pretty sure :grin:.

Chainring looks Shelby, as well,

I'm intrigued most by the Western Flyer...it appears to be Raleigh built, I'd be curious as to the year (should be a date stamped on the rear hub). Not from a value point of view, because British bikes don't tend to sell for a lot here...but, because it may be one of the oldest Raleighs I've seen in that style.

Edit...not as old as I thought and not Raleigh...yet. Looks to be around a '58 and was part of the BCC conglomeration.

This mish-mash of parts was being sold as a Shelby...

...I found it unattractive, but I keep my eyes open for a Shelby as that is my younger daughter's name :). At $125 I couldn't understand why it wasn't being bought (Monark springer would justify ~$75). Now it makes sense...I was probably the only person there that didn't know it was a Ross :grin:.
