A friend bought this for me at an estate auction last month in New York. He said there was a neat old bike on a sale 20 miles from his house so he sent me the auction's website. I about died when I saw what it was. Needless to say, I am very excited to get the bike and the friend was pretty...

Up till now, I only kept girls ballooners but I think I can make an exception for this one haha :) 1936(?) Evinrude.

Thanks so much! :)

At the El Torreon event in KC I heard rumor that there was going to be a bike swap in Lincoln Nebraska on Sept 11th. Anyone have any info on this???

The city wide garage sale started today and I found these two bikes this morning. I thought it was $2 a piece, but nope, $2 for both :) haha The 20" Columbia is probably worth $1 but I liked the Schwinn. I have quite a few ballooners but this was my first Sting-ray. I think I will probably just...

I had the same questions a few months ago when I found a Monark built Higgins. I had a bunch of people post some great information and I found it very helpful. Here is the link to my old thread if you would like to check it out. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22930 Nice bike! It has a good look to it :)

I posted some a few of the bikes on the Fresh Finds a few weeks ago...They are not super great pics but they were the only ones I had. I couldn't put them all on there but I got most of the really good ones :)

Haha, I am in the background in some of those pics! I hope to make it this year :)

I have seen two other Hartfords and they were built by Columbia. I have a early 30s girls bike badged "Crawford" and it was identical other than paint to the ladies "Hartford" that I saw. I do not know boy's bikes well enough to recognized the frame (sorry, I only collect ladies bikes because...

I have posted some pictures on Photobucket. Most of these bikes are the ones I got this last summer so I need to go back and get pics of the older ones too. Right now I have 5 foot snow drifts piling around the house so hopefully this spring :) Feel free to check them out if you have some time...

I got this bike this summer, sorry for the delay, but it appears to be a Monark built JC Higgins "Super Deluxe." Anyone know what's up with that?

I got this Hawthorne awhile back. I have not seen a Hawthorne with this frame before. It is a neat purple color with teal pinstripes. If anyone has any information on this bike, please share :)
