Well I decided to post my collection a little at a time, some are keepers, some I will sell but here's what I have as of the date at the top of the page.
1. 64sh (not sure the exact date ,serial# breakdown would help) Sears Spaceliner, 2 speed Bendix redband kickback,Nos Firestone tires. I picked this up off this site on a trade , I traded a 80 Robinson bmx frame, and it had been covered in gold paint (go figure) I buffed off the paint and the factory clearcoat and brought her back to this, replaced the rear reflector and found a tank on the bay (after looking over a year)

2. 1950 Indian Scout "BOARDFEATHER" this was a buildoff bike from a couple years back, the coolest feature is the rare Sturney /Archer internal/external 3+3 speed from a mid sixties Western Flyer diamond frame, custom galvanized seat post,BSA cranks....very fast top end!!!

3.79 Schwinn Spitfire 5, this is one of my more recent additions, just serviced the rear drum and put on the whitewalls,new cables including the positron, nos cable clamps, the correct seat should be in the mail anyday, just need to replace the grips with some in better shape, and fork out the forty bucks for decals.

4.Mid Nineties Redline 24" cruiser, GT piston stem,redline hubs .crank,chainring,unknown bars, redline seatpost, random redline decals I installed,ect.... it is just a fun ride, one of my favorite riders.

Re: GOLD STREET FILES 1/5/12

The second bike is cool, but not so the seat position. It looks fast.

6. 59 Royce Union middle weight, My son built this one, he don't get to ride it much as he is usually overwhelmed with school. but he ordered and picked all the parts himself, and painted it himself in one day for last years Cyclefest, its quite a ride!

7. 65 Huffy Daisy-Daisy Tandem, I really like the fact that this came factory with ape hangers, I swapped the wheels and tires as the rims are real rusty and the tires were original (just not too safe with weight of this beast) but its fun for me and the kiddo

11. Sears Screamer 5 speed ,disk brake 20x16 project. just about have all the parts including nos sissy bar and the rat trap is on another project right now, just saving for the seat (very close) and the pics don't show the bars too well but they are curled on top. Hopefully soon I can take it apart for paint.

13.Unknown BMX frame I am piecing together , the hurdle is I need these forks for the screamer, not sure what I am replacing them with.

Re: GOLD STREET FILES 1/16/12 MUSCLEBIKES ECT

Overdue with the updates, the rain hasn't helped much. Here's my BFK stingray I have owned since new, I picked up a shock sissybar and took it apart and put all the parts on a tall sissybar I bought off a member here, and the lights and siren, well thats just the most fun I ever picked up off ebay for $5.00 shipped, the sissybar reflector is also off the bay. I have heard a lot of complaints about these bikes, chrome rusting,lack of build quality ect. but I have been real happy with mine, after all ,this is the one that got me into building bikes.

I built this one a couple years ago for a musclecar themed buildoff, this one started out as a Coast King frame, i changed the bars since the I originally built it, never did find a cable for the Bendix two speed hub, but someday. The coolest thing is the Dana three speed transmission, I ended up making my own shifter as I didn't like the twist grip it came with. It is due for a repaint and I need a longer banana seat for it, but its a fun rider right now, maybe even brakes sometime :lol:
