picked this up at a yard sale last weekend. Cleaned and waxed, repacked all the bearings, put my favorite bars/stem on it. love the red pedals. anyone know what sort of light should be on the front fender? I'm guessing it was white plastic, as there isn't much chrome on this bike...

I've got a bunch of parts to work with, but haven't quite figured out if it's possible to retain the crank and pedals when using a small (3hp) briggs motor. It's an older, round-cylinder motor. I really like the look of it. the frame is a late -30's roadmaster, being able to keep the skip-tooth...

i have a springer fork from a 1940, I think , Roadmaster ladies' bike. The frame I ride is a mid50's Higgins. The fork tube is longer on the ladies fork, and I either need to get it threaded deeper, or maybe add a spacer, or maybe try to remove the tube and get it re welded shorter... What do...

anybody want to guess what this is? has a bunch of different parts added to it, so that's no help. cool pointed rear drops...

got this today from a guy in his 50's. Listed as an "older 26" boys bike". I need help id'n the frame, may also post this in that forum as well... looks like a JC Higgins springer, also has a 70's wheelset, Wald front, USA Bendix coaster both with really nice Chain tires... $20 well spent. I...

got this frameset less than 24 hours ago from Charles. Lovely, mid 50's (i think) english Flyer. I had a stash of old 3-spd parts, a cool Wright leather saddle, and slapped this together quick. still needs a chain...and I have a great set of black/ gold pinstripe fenders that almost fit...but...

I'm pretty new here, so hi. I have a couple bikes started, but tripped over a cool girl's 24" bike in someobody's trash. Skip-tooth AMC Flash. (frame will be availible cheap soon in the F/S) I traded an Amf bike last week to Chris-y777, and got a 26" Monark frame in exchange. here's a quick...

Hi, and apologies. i'm looking for an old frame that i can swap a bunch of skip-tooth parts onto. Is it going to be impossible to use an old crankset in a more modern (50/60's) frame? or do you just use the skip-tooth sprocket on the modern crank? here's a pic of the bike I'm using as a donor...

hi. just joined up, wish i had found this sooner. by way of an intro, here are a couple of my current bikes, as well as a future build. here's my '62 Panther, trash-pikt, alloy rims, and a S/A 3spd coaster hub laced in. I'm 43, and gears are nice to have... 2 bikes i built for the kids, ('cause...

just tripped over this forum 10 minutes ago, looks like my kinda crowd. I'm 43, 2 kids, love bikes. I've been riding a '62 schwinn Panther for a couple years, drag-bike-ish but with a 3-spd coaster hub which makes it alot easier to ride. trash-pikt, as all my bikes are. just built (2) 24"...
