So, my neighbor has had these bikes in his field for at least five years. I bothered him about every year and he always said "well, I dunno, I might do somethin' with that trike and that folder might be worth some money". Turns out he's got married since I talked to him last, I guess his wife isn't as understanding as mine :lol: .
This Raleigh folder has a '68 S/A three speed hub. It is rusted together pretty good but I think it'll come apart OK. One of the tubes has and old style valve stem where it's like a Schraeder, only threaded all the way down, and with a lock nut like a Presta valve.
This is a Schwinn, it's rusted all shut also, I've got a girls frame of like age and size, also in bad shape. I might sell them as a set! :lol:
What should I do with this? It's going to be for my wife, she's going to make the decisions and I'm going to do the work. Now, wait a minute!! That sound familiar! I think it's going to come apart OK. She says the apes have to go. I'm sure I can find someplace for them.
And a Huffy! This one has the best paint. Glitter red original paint, white spray bomb over that and then some red overspray from something else on top of that. Cool! It's going to get BMX bars a moto seat and 72 spoke five speed wheels, a' la Black & Tang.
This Huffy I found at the town dump, my best source. I had one like it when I was a boy. It was bigger and had a three speed hub.
The seat is going on this bike: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=47113
Thanks for looking.
