A few years ago I found some what I thought were NOS clear plastic center caps that fit Huffy Steering Wheels at a local riding mower shop. The owner did repairs and restorations and sold me all he had. Well, I went back in recently to check if he might have T Handle knobs and he had more of...

A few years ago I bought a Murray Fire Cat locally...mostly because it had Huffy rims and tires on it :D My wife saw it and said she liked it, and wanted me to restore it for her to ride at swap meets and stuff. I started restoring it in November last year. I knew I wouldn't finish before the...

Today was a GOOD day! I've been working a deal to get in an old shop for months now, and finally got in today. The shop had Schwinn, Murray, AND Huffy muscle bike stuff. The is the haul of Huffy shifters and covers...and yes, two Twin Sticks and a 3-Speed Slingshot shifter. Here...

Was at the Memory Lane swap this past weekend. Had a blast! Saw old bike friends and found a few trinkets. If you guys have wanted to make a bigger swap, make plans for the Memory Lane and Ann Arbor Weekend next April. You won't regret it!

Do NOT buy this is you want a functioning Schwinn Overload Tube for your 5-Speed bike: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172280320623 This is just a hollow tube made to LOOK like an overload tube. I had a hilarious exchange with this seller...I asked if it has a spring in it like the originals. He...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/322235159407?_trksid=p2060353.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Cool Drag-o-o-o-n custom. I love the seat!

Bought this today. Rare doesn't begin to describe it!

I picked these up today, thought you guys would think they were cool. Both are NOS with the clips :D And one NOS AMF 5-Speed Wedge and Renegade Shifter.

Went down to grab some bolts I needed and the owner had this little bugger he found...a Huffy Twin Stick! Not mint, but definitely usable. Both sides work, the plate for the Park Brake side slides right over and back :D

Thought I would share this find with you...how often do you see 4 of these little guys together? :) With 3 boxes and decals and all!

When they buy this for over $2k and find out the wheelie bar is a fake made from sissy bars: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141768448796?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I like the comment in the auction that this stuff was in climate controlled storage from 67-68 when the...

I don't think I saw this one posted, so I thought I would post it up: http://bicycleheaven.org/events.html It is worth the ride just to see the bikes in the museum! A bike hobbiest could get lost in there for days!

Not a Wham-O...despite the word "rare" being thrown around: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHAMO-SCHWINN-WHEELIE-BAR-Raleigh-Sears-Stingray-Krate-/262000099928?hash=item3d006c4258 Looks to be some sissy bars made into a wheelie bar, this isn't anything vintage.

Got a call from Bruce Crawford the decal guy up here in Ohio, he needed an Otasco Drag-o-o-o-n decal stencil for a guy in Texas restoring a bike. The guy had the frame and guard, but no decals at all. Though a series of trades I ended up with that Drag-o-o-o-n coaster that was on eBay maybe a...

This little guy here is NOT a used Hangman Noose. That is some sort of repop the seller made. The noose is all wrong, the point at the top is too, as well as the mounting holes on the bottom. Those mounting holes are way off actually. So don't spend your money on this...

Check this eBay auction out...not many in the box any more! http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-1970s-Vintage-Original-Swing-Bike-STILL-IN-BOX-/171796551317?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27ffdf5695

Stingrayjoe needed a Murray Eliminator headbadge decal, so I sent a headbadge to Bruce the local decal guy, along with a BF Goodrich Challenger decal, and he made these. Pretty nice job! I think he got the color for the middle of the Murray badge spot on!

http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/murray-eliminator-mark-ii-five-5-speed.90738/ Joe is a LONG bike muscle bike guy, from back before I started in this hobby. He was probably the first guy I remember to jump ship from Schwinn Sting-Rays to Murray and Huffy bikes. He was way...

I went out to see my bike shop owner friend today for lunch. When I was there I mentioned that I told his story about the Murray with the solo polo seat and hi rise bars. He said "Did I show you the picture of that?" He hadn't, and sent me this! He said his dad took that bike right out of...

Had the chance to pick an closed bike shop Saturday and found some great stuff! It was an old shop that closed around 2005, a local shop that was behind the owners house in an old barn. It was the little local bike shop that lots of towns had back in the day. The barn was so old that one of the...
