Looks like a Huffy or AMF, otherwise known as a good donor for a low budget ratrod build.

Run and get it before somebody beats you to it. Offer them $50 flat out the door. Nearly all antique malls have a 10% leeway. I've never seen one like that but looks like it will do the job nicely. I suspect the Spin Doctor sticker is from the music band.

A corvette 2 is a later version. It should have a silver plastic headbadge that is like sunrays. The badge is glued on and extreme care must be taken to remove it. A good shape badge is worth 40-60 bucks. My friend had one and his had chrome fenders, brown leather seat with crash rail. And...

There are "old bike shops" that actually have a selection of square tapered bb spindles. They make many different ones that have various offsets to position the chainline. In the past (when I worked at a bike shop that was well outfitted with repair parts) I have used square spindles with cups...

Re: Chicago TailDraggers 2013 ** Next Ride September 8th ** Anybody going to the bike swap in Carpentersville Oct 12th (I think that is the day)? I will probably be going.

There are some bmx hubs for left drive or you could go the fixie hub route.

I vote for this one!

As a semi serious collector of sprockets, I would like to beg you to not do "exact reproduction" of sprockets. Im already having to be really carefull to not buy reproductions of certain sprockets and I see buyers being swindled by sellers claiming repops are the real thing. I know just a...

I cant remember what the measurment are normally, but there is all kinds of info at bmx museum. They make you pay to sell though.

Welcome. I would love to see pics of your Westfield Elk.

The "pro" should be a longer frame. Usually 1-1.5" longer top tube.

Hope it is a good turn out for you guys/gals.

That sprocket is not a Schwinn sprocket. It is an early Hawthorn sprocket... which is just wrong for an "Old school Schwinn" bicycle club. Sorry, but as a sprocket collector, I notice such things. :?

Buy a derailler hanger replacement from a newer bike and use a file and a drill to make it compatable with a replaceable hanger. Thats what I would do.

Im thinking its an Elgin, but research that more. Just my first impression.

Re: Hibbard - Deluxe??? 1930?? The sprocket is probably H.P Snyder/D.P. Harris. That is what my research has found. And the nut rattling in my head seems to think the Hibbard name plate is associated with them too.

That sprocket is in the cluster pic that catfish posted on page 3. I believe it to be Westfield made, due to the probable double D center hole.

Probably dont know that you can click three choices then hit accept. They probably choose one and hit accept, thinking they have two more shots.

I wasnt expecting any votes, especially since im a newby around here. But in a perfect world i would win the rustyest build award. 8)

I have to say that I am supprised "Stock isn't" #63, hasn' t recieved more votes. In my opinion it is the nicest, cleanest, best executed build of the whole competition. I wish it was in the AG catagory. In my mind the type of mods it has, fit the AG catagory better and I didnt vote for it...
