My friend Ambman and I went to the junkyard that Greystoke mentioned in a earlier post. Thanks for the heads-up Greystoke! After driving nearly 4 hours to get there we spent almost another 4 hours hunting. Unfortunately the stuff has been sitting out in the weather for a very long time and has been picked over pretty good. We didn't find any Twin flexes or Cycle planes, but I got a few cool bikes and some parts. He has close to a thousand bikes in piles all over the 50 acre yard. If you are in Michigan and are looking for a pre-war straight bar bicycle or a cantilever frame he has hundreds.
Unfortunately the whole rear triangle was rotted off of this motorbike
Hard to see, but there were piles of handle bars under the stuff on the right.
Not sure what this was, but it had a few fragments of a block chain left on the sprocket. Most of it was completely rusted away, but the crank still turns and is in usable condition.
Picked up a couple of these Hawthorns.
Some art for the garage wall.
Sprocket says YALE. Made by Rollfast?
A 28" camel back. Mead?
From right to left, Columbia crank, NOS pedals from one of the buildings, half of a CWC tank, Elgin crank, and a skip tooth ?
