    1949 Columbia - No idea what model ...

    Found this on Craigslist today .... Can't wait to get it home and clean it up. Here's a photo from the ad... Does anyone know what the correct chainguard looks like? Also, thinking about putting a pair of cream tires on it... your thoughts? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! :)

    1940 ladies Hawthorne (CWC)- worth buying/saving?

    All - I'm looking at a 1940 Ladies Hawthorne, complete with skirt guards and deluxe springer. Chrome is pitted and it's been completely rattle canned, but she looks solid. Missing tank, light, guard, and rack.... but everything else is looks to be there. Do you think she's worth...

    WF Reproduction

    Picked this reproduction up today. It's tires have never seen the pavement. Up until now, it was used only as a display in the previous owner's game room. Wow... must have been some game room!!

    Help identify this CWC bike

    Picked up this old CWC bike last December and still haven't heard back from LD on what it was "oiginally." (Kind of worried about him. Hope he is okay. Does anyone know?) The bike was advertised as a Roadmaster, but I thought it resembled a Hawthorne (ie: chainguard and sprocket). Guessing...

    Ladies Hawthorne

    Not sure what year, but love the fact that it's a CWC bike! It will look nice sitting next to the WF Super.

    50s WF Super / 40s Schwinn DX

    Picked these up on Monday. The Super was stripped of all its "fun parts," while the DX was stripped of it's tank and rear rack, but spared its chain guard. Should be fun tracking down parts for the restoration.

    Is this 52 JC Higgins bike considered collectable or is it basically a boat anchor?

    1950s Schwinn Springer Forks (value?)

    Purchasing a 50s Schwinn springer fork and wondering what a good price to pay would be. How much is .... too much?

    Schwinn Tornado / Straight bar frames

    Does the Schwinn Tornado frame differ from other Schwinn straight bar frames? Currently looking at a rusty Tornado, claimed to be a '52. I'd like to use the frame for another straight bar model, but am not sure if all straight bars are the same. Your thoughts? :?

    1948 Schwinn ??

    Just purchased this bike today. All original, less the front fenderlight (not sure what that little globe thing is), the rear rack, and the reflectors. Initially thought it was a '49, but the serial number didn't fit the range. Right below the standard serial number, there is a flattened...

    Hello from MN

    Purchased my first cruiser - just to get my feet wet - a '98 Retroglide. Waiting for it to arrive. Meanwhile, while searching for ways to customize the Raleigh, I found myself drawn to the vintage (1950s) Columbia. Even purchased some misc parts for one. Not sure what I've gotten myself...
