    Need help with a recent find... Its a 30s Aerocycle

    I'm going to guess you didn't sell this bike yet and you haven't listed it on ebay. Just a bit of advice if you go the ebay auction route. There could be one person willing to pay $10,000 and the next highest person would be willing to only pay $8500. Sadly, you would only get the next...

    (ORBO) '38 Shelby Klunkinator

    Cinnaminson NJ (Schwinn DX) ad? Did he show you the Columbia he has, and the photo from 1939? Good, now I get to watch it come to life. Were their any other good parts in that box? Don't throw out that Shock Ease fork.

    $400 complete. Fork alone is $200. Delta Rocket Ray ($100 if working), $50 each for the chainguard, rear rack, wheels, and tank.

    Ebay issue... maybe

    It's either that or send it to someone you know who lives in that area and have him meet that person while in town. A 3rd party like a hotel is a no for sure.

    Ebay issue... maybe

    Cancel the transaction. End the convo. Sell it to the second highest bidder. Plain and simple, not worth the risk. Contact ebay again and tell them the exact situation and see if they will block any effort he will have in leaving negative feedback. Also figure out exactly why he was able to...

    Ebay issue... maybe

    Cancel the transaction due to improper shipping demands. If he leaves negative feedback, ebay will remove it since it wasn't within your sales guidelines. Offer it to the second highest bidder, odds are he'll take it and you'll only lose the incremented bid.

    Just picked up. March 9 1950 Schwinn Panther

    I actually have the rear fender, just didn't put it on the bike. Put the front on to show the rocket ray. Need pedals, and a few nuts and bolts, some of the drum brake parts are MIA, and a nice set of white walls. Will probably get a pair of John's Royal Chains.

    Nice and crusty! Just needs a few parts and some tlc and it will be good to go. Drum break and locking springer with key!

    All is good! Bike should be here Friday or Monday! Will rat rod up the what's left of the original bike! Just need to put together some funds first.

    Haha. Might have gotten lucky again last night. The guy is willing to ship it, so I'll be working it out with him today. It's a '64, but it's got all the right parts. Well, except the chainguard of course!

    2 hour drive, $60 paid, $12 in tolls and about $25 in gas. 2 Stingrays!

    So I'm guessing the best thing to clean the guard is a light spray wax? Or just leave it alone?

    Took the crank off the white one to see the date, and it's also a '68 of February.

    Yeah, the green one is in amazing shape. Just needs a cleanup, new seat, tires and tubes. Chrome has a little bit of surface rust and that's it. Paint has a few chips, other than that, it's in great shape. The white one is showing the original green paint, so I'll be cleaning that one up...

    Yup, someone had a yard sale on a Tuesday! Emailed him last night and he held them for me until he got there. Had no idea what I was getting, I just knew they were from the 60's and what color they were. Needs tires and tubes, and a good cleaning, but in really good shape! The green one is a...

    Picking up 2 '60s Stingrays this morning for $25 each, which will help me complete this bike! It might be a 3 speed when it's done. The other one is a 5 Speed.

    My 1961 Schwinn Black Hornet 20" Canti Project

    Finally broke the rust to get the neck off. Now have the frame and fork soaking in OA. Paint on the frame is really bad, but I'm still gonna leave it the way it is. Sprocket isn't bad, but the crank needs to be replaced. Tomorrow, cleaning the tank as best as I can without going near the...

    Super Rare, and Super Expensive. Reds have sold up to $2500, Greens as high as $2000. Never seen a black one sell.

    My 1961 Schwinn Black Hornet 20" Canti Project

    Going to build this up with a bobber/run-a-bout look. Ape Hangers were on it when I got it, and will be getting a brown mesinger spring seat. Needs a lot of work, and a several hundered bucks to complete. If anyone has parts for this bike let me know. Need the chainguard and I'm sure some...
