I've been looking at all the neat galleries on here and I thought I'd start my own as a way for others to see my bikes but also so I can keep track of what I buy/sell/trade. Google Docs just doesn't cut it :) So I'll start off with what's currently in my garage. Nothing cool, but this is...

http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/bik/3678293033.html I'm wondering if this was just painted over or whether there would have actually been a black and red women's bike. The price went down from 100 yesterday, so if it goes down to 50 I might have to pick it up.

I have some pics here http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewto ... 6&p=678710 I tried searching a bit but couldn't find anything except that it might have been manufactured by a company called Stelber in Brooklyn.

Last week I picked up a neat bike from a family friend who's been giving me some old bikes for free every now and then. It's made by Armstrong and he said the year is 1962. The front fender needs adjusting because it gets in the way of the wheel, but other than that, it just needs a good...

This is what it used to look like: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=64327&p=618288#p618288 New whitewall tires and tubes, new seat, relocated the reflector b/c the new seat doesn't have a fixture on it, cleaned it up a bit with WD40 and steel wool (still need to do the...

Just spotted this on a nearby Craigslist. It's made by the American Bicycle Company. Never heard of them so I looked them up. Next to no information online. The wikipedia page has a short paragraph and makes it out to be a conglomerate of bicycle companies. Makes sense, but the date was...

So I've been complaining that I can't find any neat old bikes in my area. Today, however, I went over to a family friends house a few blocks down because he told me he had a bike he wanted give me. Turned out to be a really neat 20" boys bike from a company by the name of Majestic. Can't find...

Looks like a neat bike, and owner says all it needs is another grip. I told him if it's 100% rideable and only needs a new set of grips, then I would pay hime $150. Is that too much for a bike like this. How would I restore something like this? This would be my first restoration project. Or is...

I really like the Triple Triangle frame on the GT's, so I picked this one up on CL for $60. Probably too much considering it's the end of the season and it has to be fixed up a bit, but everything else on CL in my area is even more overpriced and I wanted something to work on. It's a scratched...

Picked this nice Schwinn Cruiser off Craigslist for $100. Probably mid 90's, but what do I know? There were brand new whitewalls and the rims looked amazing too, might have been new as well. The cables were red, and I knew I had to get it and slap on these nice red tires that have been sitting...

So a couple of weeks ago I started working on my first project- a 1964 Schwinn Typhoon. I sanded it down, primed it, painted it and spent quite a bit of money in doing so. I'm probably $170 and originally figured I could possibly sell it for $200-$250. So after the paint was finished drying, I...

Is $125 a fair price for this bike? It looks neat and apparently it was the same model used in The Wizard of Oz, and it seems in pretty good condition. I can't tell though, if it's a mens or a womens bike. http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/bik/3193800229.html Thanks for any help. Alex

I found this neat Western Flyer Silver Flyer on eBay, but I'm new to this hobby and I'm not really sure what it's worth. It's pretty interesting, although the paint job isn't original. What would you pay max for this bike...

I'm new to the custom/vintage bike scene! I'm not sure what exactly got me interested, but I love anything vintage or different, so old bike are just that! I'm a high school senior from Queens NYC, and the only thing I hate about this forum is that I have to listen to everybody talking about how...

I'm currently in the middle of my first build, and I'd love a nice brown seat. Brooks saddles seem to be the perfect style, but I don't have that kinda money right now. I've looked on Amazon, eBay and Craigslist, but the only brown seats I can fid that are cheaper are designed for road bikes...

I bought a Schwinn Typhoon off of Craigslist for $80 and was told it was a 1964 model. A few days later I'm looking at the serial number and can't seem to find it online. I looked pretty close and am 99% sure I'm not reading it incorrectly. I would attach a pic but I'm posting this from my...
