Wow! I didn’t even realize what a treasure trove of parts this thing is! That Pink Panther bike is super cool.

And now I’m looking at that brake… and even thinking “parking brake” if I use the tensioner knob setup…

Oh, I didn’t know about the seat post… I’ll check that out. The old speedo is cool too.

I’ve been watching for one of these free or super cheap for years. You know what part I want off of it!

Any ad that mentions “barn find” can be translated to the English “I’m trying to flip this junk at a big profit like I see on American Pickers”

Yep I can weld and it’s steel... but the bike is worth too much money to chop. I really should list the thing and sell it, I’m not that attached to it. A friend had one when it was new and I always wanted one, I got this one in the ‘90s when they were hard to find (especially because we didn’t...

I’ve got one, a ‘76. Parts are still around on eBay now and then but tend to be pricey. The only part I’m missing and the hardest to find is the chain guard... because, of course, we all trashed those the day we got these things. They turn up, but I’m unwilling to spend the money they go for...

I’ve posted my Dyno before but it’s been several years. I’m wanting to do something, maybe a set of Boa-G tires. What color? I’m thinking brown because I have brown grips and seat. It’s got nice original black cherry paint that I wish I could get over the idea of preserving, because I have a...

And he is in Hawaii... everything rusts there. I get it that things are expensive there, but the 1961 part is hilarious.

RATS!!! They were the go-to parts source for me!!! They should have raised prices to stay afloat, I’d have paid more, it wasn’t the absolute bottom dollar bargain I was after, it was the selection and availability of just about everything that I liked. Rats.

I messsged that one and told him that was like saying he had a 1961 iPhone for sale!

I’m surprised it isn’t right-hand-drive. It’s an English Ford. You can tell by the crooked teeth.

I’ve got a Dyno Roadster, and my suggestion is to do what I did and put a 5-speed hub on it. Like others have said, hills are an issue and you will really want gears. I do think a backrest would be a good thing, if I can figure one out that doesn’t look wrong.

Lol it’s a good thing you’re not set on $800!!!! Been watching “American Pickers” a little too much?

Ok that’s even nicer... :) Love the stock but later-model wheels.

That’s an excellent little truck!!!! I have driven many different Rangers. The decked-out 4x4 auto trans models are nice but the lightweight 2WD manual trans ones drive so much better! And clean, low-mile older stuff is infinitely easier to work on. Modern models are computerized nightmares...

Yep, they exist. I bought a 5-speed coaster brake trike hub for my trike from niagra cycle (dot com).

If altering the lines of the bars to better clear your feet on the pedals is "out" (I understand that, cool is cool) do you think something weird and crazy like a wider pedal stance would get you feet to clear them?

I love riding the Burke Gilman on my super low stretch Dyno. For the rest of you, the Burke Gilman is a paved bike path running through Seattle where a railroad track once was. It's populated with walkers, joggers, rollerbladers and roadie-bikers. A rat or hotrod-custom type bike stands out...
