    FOUND Rearsteer front crank assy

    Need this front crank eccentric hub assembly. Working on a 1939 Colson Rearsteer. If not the assembly then I need this left crank keeper nut. Can not be from an Iver Johnson 2 piece crank assembly. Those are larger than the Colson. 757-613-2334 is best or text.

    JD56 is back among you again

    Been away for a bit. Up to recently I have continued being a mid 60s Tanklight collector but, years ago I moved my efforts reviving 1920s 50s heavyweight American made bikes. I've been fortunate to find and make as close to all OG factory bikes. I don't do much rationing because I like all...

    Went for a bikes pickup today. Paid up on this pair. Both came from a PA. estate. The Schwinn is a 48. Haven't dated the DP Harris/Snyder/Rollfast yet. Here's the Harris/Snyder/Rollfast serial, perhaps someone with the tools can give me the year. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    1953 Customliner

    Just don't have the time to revive this all original 1953 Huffy ballooned. I did replace the rims and added aftermarket white walls. I got this from a guy that said he got it from the original owner. Last 2 pics are as found. The first 3 pics had a mild WD40 rundown to see what was under the...

    Black Hawk or Falcon?

    Found this old thing yesterday while cruising the backroads. My uneducated Elgin guess is a Black Hawk. But, a friend mentioned it could be a Falcon because the Falcon had painted fenders and it's brother, the Black Hawk, had chromed or stainless fenders. Anyone know for sure? Black Hawk or...
