Reluctantly listing my Western Flyer Cosmic Flyer. Im not sure on the year, but I'm guessing mid 60s. Very neat and fairly complete bike with lots of character. The whole bike has been gone through, cleaned and regreased. The chrome on the frame isn't the best and it had been spray painted...

Recently picked up a 1939 Schwinn streamline frame and fork. It's not the prettiest, but has decent patina in my opinion. I don't have much plans for it except clean it and try to use as much parts from my stash pile.

Found this on Craigslist, and immediately fell in love with it. Pretty much all I know is the previous owner replaced the tires, bars and the grips. I can't really find much info on these bikes, so if anyone knows anything about them, please send me a pm! Thanks!

Found in the basement of an old general store this weekend, and scored this. I am not sure of the year, but I haven't really had time to completely go over it. Looks to be mostly original and complete, minus the front fender and the custom rack, but it has really nice patina. It is the first...

This years Charlotte Auto Fair was a little disappointing as far as bicycles go. There wasn't as much bikes this time as there was in previous years. If you did find a bike, they were either rusted out, beat to death, or a Franken-bike that had no usable parts on it. There was a few really nice...

I have been working on this bike off and on for the last few weeks, and I figured I might as well document and share it with you guys. Started with half a bike I found on craigslist awhile back: Not sure of the year, but I am guessing '69 ish. I don't really have a plan for the build, I just...

Went yard sailing and scored this 5 speed Schwinn Suburban for $10. It's missing the rear brakes, and it's going to need new tires, and new cables and housing. Probably going to powdercoat it black, clean the chrome up real good, and throw some white tires on it. Next is a 5 speed Schwinn...

A couple of demolition guys came by the bike shop last week and wanted to sell this. It's pretty rough, but it has some good parts on it. Don't know what I am going to do with it yet.

The story is, I was looking at Craigslist one day, and had found a purple 10 speed sears spyder for sale. I talked to the guy, and arranged to pick it up at his house. While we were there, we asked if he had any old BMX bikes and he took us into the old shed where he pulled these out. We settled...

Came across this yesterday at a swap meet. I have never seen one in person, but I have seen some in pictures. All I know is that it is a Wards, Monark Silver King, and that it's aluminum.  The guy I bought it from, bought it from the original owner, and he claims that it is all original.  I was...

Women's Excelsior, with Chinese rims, Murray crank, etc.. The serial number is B90410. Does anyone know what year, or around what year it could be? Also what is that little tab things on the fender braces? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking!

No sence in blowing up the Fresh Finds forum with my updates, so ill post my progress here. I got this bike last weekend from a very cool guy that lives in my area. I got alot of help figuring out what model, year, What parts were OG, and not OG from some guys here. Special thanks to B607...

Some of you may have seen my other topic, where I had mentioned this bike. I went back today and got it and he threw in a couple parts that I need. The Original color is red I believe, based on the paint inside the head tube, and bottom bracket. I also belive that it had some kind of creme...

I saw an ad Thursday night for a 70's ladies Schwinn for $25. Called the guy, and set up to meet him on my way back from school. The guy lives pretty much in the back of the back woods in the middle of the forest with only a very narrow, and rough path just big enough for a car to get through...

I found this Ross mountain bike last week for sale at a local antique store. Went back today, and got it. The gears need to be fiddled with to make them fully functional, and the rear brake leaver is kind of stuck, so no rear brakes. There's a weird fender up front that's bent, so it rubs the...

My dad has this Schwinn Speedster, and we dont know very much about it. Does anyone know anything about it? We would love to know everything we can about it. Thanks, Duncan

At a friends yardsale, I found she was selling her childhood bike. A Murray Super Stylin'. She has had this since she was a kid, and it has been kept in the garage ever since. Never left outdoors over night, and if it wasent underneath her, it was on its kickstand. Not too early, but older than...
