Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
I have a few more bikes today but I didn't do much getting anything done with them after this busy day.
Ladies Sears 3 speed that I don't know the year of with the numbers 502-47275043863.
Men's Kmart Allpro made by Murray number MO9647812 U5687426, the Murray date was 8/79 and it had Suntour parts U rear derailleur, Spirt front derailleur and the rest I didn't look close enough.
Ladies Trailmate Easy Ride with a date on the Wald Stem of 95 but I only saw 4 numbers on the frame, it has 24 inch wheels but I'm not sure if they are original since there is a gap between the tire of the fork & rear.
The last is a little Huffy Rockit that is a nice little bike but the crank is bad.

Thanks, I like that the Trailmate was made in Florida and the bike shop decal on it is from a Lakeland bike shop called Sparki's Old Time Bicycle Shop but apparently they had 2 at the time the bike was sold but I only saw one address last year I checked for local shops near by so I guess since the mid 90's they went down to 1 shop.
Nice find on the X24. My son has one that he likes to ride.
here it is after we got it rideable
here it is after a new set of blue gum walls from porkchop
It had all 3 pads on it but 2 of them was beyond saving

Thanks & that looks great.
I cleaned most of it but it must have been in a pile for years so some chrome is coming off in spots especially the handlebars except for where the pad was so it is a rat BMX, maybe after I get it ready some day I will get it re-chromed then maybe add a blue clear coat on that if something better happens for me.

Id just clean the frame up as good as I could then clear coat it. and strip the blue and spray it with the rattle can anodized blue. were going to switch to a blue viscount seat either put a blue chain on it or strip the chain guard and anodize blue it.
Ok, I can put them together to ride but painting is not my thing which is why I haven't finished my Christine bike since I don't want to mess up the custom paint I spent a lot of money on unless someone where I live wouldn't mind trading one of my other bikes for a paint job.
The last bike I will buy again. I got it to use the wheels on my Christine bike instead of my 24 inch wheels but I just have to find another Lightning Dart tire for the rear. It has an LHR The Special Balloon Tyre on the rear right now and the bike is from 4 1982.
I will get rid of the rest.
I am thinking of getting this 1969 Ford Falcon. I am just giving the link to the pics and if he finally gets the Title I am thinking of getting it.

Nothing great to most people but I got 1 of those Huffy Regatta 3 speed bikes at Walmart today. No pics yet because there has been a lot of rain recently but if it clears up I will take some.
Also.
$99 instead of $199.

I got a light for photography Medalite Strobe Model PG3001-ML. Sorry no picture but it looks like it was brand new along with it's box.
This Huffy Tulsa today for $0 today too. It needs to be cleaned along with the rear brake cable adjusted and maybe re-greased. Other than what I said before it looks just about new with a scratch on the top tube because the reflector that was on it and I'm guessing it's from 1996 with the numbers on the old Wald front hub.

My latest find is 4 door 1965 Ford Custom 500 289 V8 Automatic for $800 including being delivered home. It need some good work including new front & trunk floor pans and other repairs for the body.

Do you still like your Regatta? I bought one of these this year as well and really like it. It cost me $149 on Rollback (aka sale :roll: ) through the website though. None of the stores in my area carry the Regatta.
