    What would you pay for a silver king

    What is a fair price for a Silver King frame and fork? Finish looks decent, seller says there is a crack on the back left side, could be fixed. There is a sale thread on the cabe. Price seems very high to me. This is local to me, might make him a fair offer. If it is too rich for me, I am...

    20" Colombia?

    Not sure who the maker is. Has a brass badge, but it is blank. Someone put Schwinn seat, pedals, and grips on it. Rear wheel is a double drop with ND 1/2 pitch, front is a s-2 style flat rim. Any ideas on year, pre or post war? Who made it? What rim is correct? Thanks for any help.

    Nice n crusty * It rides again*

    Found this in a South Memphis alley! Prewar Huffman badged as a Western Flyer. Check out these Torrington bars. Super wide (26") with maybe a 1" rise. Cool octogon glass reflecter. And has anyone seen a torpedo mounted inside the front wheel? Has a '30's Memphis bicycle plate as a bonus

    Thick Bricks on a prewar frame?

    I have a 37 or so Huffman frame. Tried to put a set of ThickBricks mounted to 24" S-2 rims laced up with a N.D. skiptooth hub. The tire barley has enough clearance at the chain stays ( a couple more links of chain would give it even more room). However, the chain is slightly rubbing on the tire...

    Henderson Rat Bomber

    This is how it sits right now. Future plans include sturmy archer drum hubs with a 3 or 5 speed skiptooth laced on alloy wheels. Not real happy with the bar/stem set up, so something else is in order.

    I bought her yard art for $25

    Spied this while I was at work. She said the owner died and the kids threw it on the curb. She didn't want it to go the dump so she drug it home for yard art, said her husband has been riding her for "trashing up the yard" ever since.

    Rollfast: D.P. Harris- H.P. Snyder ?

    I think D.P. Harris made rollfast bikes at some point. And I have read here that H.P. Snyder made them as well. Did they both make Rollfast at the same time? Was D.P. Harris and H.P. Snyder in business together? Thanks in advance for any information, Johnny

    Kick-n-go

    Not really a fresh find because it's not mine. But, I did spot it today hanging from a tree in someone's front yard. Haven't seen one in a long time.

    Fat tires

    I want something fatter than a 26x2.125. Was looking for bontrager Hank's, but long gone ( discontinued). Are Fat Franks any good, are they much fatter than a standard balloon tire? I don't want anything crazy like a 3", just a nice easy rolling fatter tire than a 2.125. Thanks, Johnny

    I've been rebuilding a prewar Shelby (39-40). When I started to put the fork back on, I couldn't find the og headset parts. Had a bunch of others laying around (schwinn, cwc, murry, etc) none of them would thread on the steer tube. Finally found the og one, went on perfect. Then when I was...
