    Not quite a bicycle, but it is motorized... And crusty

    I've been off the forums for awhile but I figured you guys might like to see the transformation the Pinto has undergone. She's definitely a head turner now! https://1drv.ms/u/s!Av0o7gD42MmXjmSM3Hi1fykDd4Zz https://1drv.ms/u/s!Av0o7gD42MmXjmregXxbMVHTMGxE...

    Prewar/Wartime homemade tandem

    Hey guys! It's been a while since my last post. New job, new house, getting married; stuff like that. I was browsing through Facebook marketplace and came across something pretty cool that just so happens to fit my fiancé and my wedding theme and we both loved it from first sight. Drove 2 and a...

    01 GT Timberline I-Drive

    Did a few more upgrades to the Timberline. I ordered a new Shimano altus derailleur to replace the failing acera. I got 720mm bars and a 60mm stem for better control. I also got a steal on some 100mm Redland magnesium lockout forks. It feels like a brand new bike! Next thing on the list is an...

    01 GT Timberline I-Drive

    Hey everyone! I've been back on the bike wagon again recently and wanted to show you guys what I've been up to! I know it's not a classic or rat bike but it is old in the sense that 2001 was 16 years ago. (As I near the big 3-0 that thought terrifies me) Aside from propsing to my wonderful girl...

    Murray tricycle and a Ross polo bike barn fresh

    Hey y'all it's been a little while since I've posted. I've been on the hunt for a couple wheeled relics for my nieces. I found both in the same place today! Both for 40 bucks! First up is a *60's? Murray deluxe trike with the og seat and faux fender light. Second is an *80's? Ross polo bike...

    Not quite a bicycle, but it is motorized... And crusty

    I acquired a single matching saddle bag for the Pinto yesterday... Now finding the right side one will be like winning the lottery!

    Thank you sir! If a Pinto or a magnum is what you are after try www.detroitmopedworks.com They usually come up with them every once and a while. Plus they may be able to find one for you. Alex owns the place and he is a top notch guy. They did all the engine work on my Pinto and girlfriend's...

    Back in the saddle with this "sun racer"

    Upon some further research I discovered what HSB&Co. stands for. -Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. This leading hardware dealership was the descendant of a Chicago store called Tuttle, Hibbard & Co., which took that name in 1855 when William G. Hibbard became a partner. In 1865, Hibbard was...

    Rollfast late 40s?

    Hopefully you have something similar under all that paint!

    Rollfast late 40s?

    It may not be the same paint but it is the correct chainguard for the bike. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/252486286856 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    Rollfast late 40s?

    Must've been the norm for them because my 37 has a sleeve as well. I wonder if they used "7's" till the 50s? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    Rollfast late 40s?

    It is badged as a sun racer. It's built by Snyder just like rollfast. They did like Schwinn and had hardware and specialty badged bikes. I wouldn't be surprised if the fender stripes aren't the same as well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    Rollfast late 40s?

    Check the numbers on the bottom bracket. That frame looks identical to my 48 sun racer. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
