Told myself that I would finish whatever I started and have to see it through now. I have a 6 other frames that are going to get klunked as well, so it's not a matter of ditching it for another frame. I am not going to mothball or shitcan or scrap it. I am also going to really use it, like a...

Have kind of decided to just keep this klunker as there was not much interest in the whole bike just the Davis forks. So here is a question maybe someone here will answer. Can any decipher what the serial number 1476636 on the bottom bracket of this mystery bike. no other markings but I...

Checked on the Stebler, but I did not see a pinch bolt upper seat post set up on any of them. The rear dropouts look more like Murray with that swept back look. I saw what looked like the Columbia design but it was shorter. Appreciate the shout out though.

I know the Raleigh's and such used a pinched rear upper stay/seatpost clamping. The rear fender bracket in between the stays is strap not tube. No there was no repair all was done when new. BB is has not been changed although I am thinking I may have to swap it out( Pain in the ... though). BB...

Redoing a Columbia-ish looking 26 boys straightbar. It came with cottered cranks, which I just thought someone threw on there in a pinch. Well looks like I was wrong. I thought I was just going to throw on a set of NOS hollow OPC I had been saving. Well as you can see in the picture it is a...

Hope this shows

Great pics and info guys. I actualy have a set of the stainless fenders. I thought I would like the way they lock and unfortunately didn't, so I have decided to go a different route. I would love like I stated a set of alloy large fenders, but could not find a set. I just purchased a set of...

Hey guys been off the forum for a bit, working on my cars and have been neglecting my 2 wheelers. In the past, the forum has been able to guide me on many things and the For sale section has yielded many treasures. So here goes. I am working on completing a 1948 SilverKing HexBAr. Some would say...

Ok I have a SilverKing Hexbar that I am building. The original fenders where steel. My question are either stainless steel fenders or aluminum fenders available today that would fit a 26" with no larger than a 2.125" tire( would love a FatFrank but that's asking too much )? I am not totally...

You guys are dead on the tandem. Is there a Huffy SN database to see what year this actually is? The other bike the rear dropout do look like Columbias, went to the MR. Columbia site and saw the rear dropouts on an early bike. still cant find a bike like it that has the tops of the seattube...

Need help with IDin' 2 bikes I just picked up, any help is appreciated. http://s864.photobucket.com/albums/ab20 ... C00441.jpg Hey all, hope everyone had a great Christmas and a safe New Years. Well I picked up a couple of bike yesterday. 1. One is a tandem only frame and forks seem correct...

Any pics of the t-shirts and prices, I probably wont be able to make it as the shop is doing a show at the local festival and we have to represent. Let me know I'd be interested in a tee if you are willing to ship it to Fresno....Thanks...Mo

I will get some pics up soon as I send them thru Ralph if he doesn't mind. Looks to be a 40's RM CW. Trouble is I can only see a Big 2 on the BB. That is it. Went to the swapmeet and bought what is badged as a CW Roadmaster. Guy was unspecific as to the year(probably didn't know). But I can not...

Hey Phil will definitely will agree as to misinformation. The Excelsior I am working on according to the date and the site it should be a 48 but I see that the 46 (again with a grain of salt ) has front entry rear dropouts. Mine has rear entry dropouts that would make it older right than 48. It...

Phil I dated the Elgin by the pics I have seen on other sites and there dates is there an ID bank like the schwinns to be sure, same with the CWC..Thanks.....Mo
