I kind of like the tiller. It reminds me of an old 3 wheeled Harley Davidson golf cart. My boys and I each took it down the rode a bit and it only got a little squirrely once. I made too sharp of a turn on a slight angle and it felt a little tippy. It doesn't exactly fly up the inclines, so...

Got it going this afternoon. Pretty fun to ride! http://youtu.be/WGjbqtF8mGU

Love this thread!!! Here is my Schwinn DX as it came from the neighbors farm (it was his older brother's bike in the late 40's). I have it all stripped down now and a buddy offered to powder coat it for me at cost, but I really want to leave it rusty. I like the looks of the satin clear...

I'm thinking it will probably pedal just about fast enough to keep up in the 4th of July parade, and it will sure hold a lot of candy to throw! :D

ha ha! not for sure yet (haven't fixed the tires to ride it), but it sure looks like it is going to want to crawl along!

My brother came up with this jewel this week! Not sure what this is, but it sure is interesting. No head badge or name on it. It has a Bendix hub, Any help identifying/dating this would be appreciated!

Thanks Crassly! I really appreciate the parts! Onewheelsqueal, Thatvis funnybyou mention the ride. We are sitting in Terre Hautte IN at an all weekend swim meet and I was looking at rrb forums. I saw the Chicago ride and told my wife I wished we could go. Maybe next time!

hey onewheelsqueal we are up your way every once and a while as my wife grew up in Joliet (off Black Rd). My brother in laws are in South Elgin and Wheaton. Zak

Thanks cman! I posted there and asked for suggestions as to what to do with it.

My neighbor just gave my son what I guess is a pig bike. My boy got to pick it out from several old bikes that the farmers kids had rode years ago. I really like the handlebars on this one, and keep teasing my son that I am going to trade him for a smaller set :) I am new to old bikes, so...

Thanks Deorman I just started reading about klunkers. I just looked at your gallery. Pretty cool stuff! What would you do about the incomplete saddle? What looks good on this type of frame, and is comfortable that can be bought reasonable?

Crassly That is great! P.M sent Thanks!! Zak

That's the plan :) (once I get the stubborn knurled retainer off the headset) Soaking it with pb blaster several times a day now! I think I need some new wheels as mine are pretty rough!

Hi all! I am in Sullivan. We are about 60 miles south of Champaign and 30 east of Decatur.

New to the forum and old bikes in general. I just picked up some old barn bikes and found this site when googling info on them. I have found alot of great info hear! Zak

The 3rd bike I was given appears to be a schwinn. I was told that it was a "pig bike". pretty bad picture angle, but I love the handlebars!

The 2nd bike I was given appears to be a Belgium built Western Flyer kids cruiser. It has 20" wheels. I didn't get a good close up before dis assembly, but did get this shot of it with my daughter who wants to ride it! Unfortunately, Gary B607 from this site helped me tear the hub apart and...

My neighbor gave me some old bikes from his barn. Here is the first one: I dont know much of anything about old bikes, but from reading this forum, found a local guy who is helping me. Gary (B607) advised me to post pics and let the experts tell me what I ended up with. The guy who...
