Seen this sitting next to the road leaning on garbage can checked to make sure they was throwing it away. Trek 820 single track needs tube in front tire and little love.

Then picked up another lady's rollfast frame

Great deal on the trek. Hard to believe what people
toss out.

Free , my favourite!

 

[Brian macumber]

Yes free is me. Are the bontanger parts standard on the trek?

Was scrolling through Craigslist and seen another girls rollfast. Picked it up for cheap in anticipation of next year's build off. First one of the three with a metal Head badge instead of a sticker.

Got this 62 torpedo off Craigslist couple months ago missing the chain guard and fenders.

got this 64 Columbia at a swap shop for cheap probably gonna use the stuff off here on the 62 then use what parts I have on this one.

found this tricycle in a dumpster on the jobsite figured it would be good for the little grandkids. googled it and looks like a 50's not sure if seat is correct and missing the handle grips

has some holes in the step is it missing something?

Grabbed this up today from serial number BD66330 it's a 20" 68 schwinn guessing by looking at catalog pictures looks like a typhoon. Plus the rear tire says schwinn typhoon that is roached.

My 2 latest acquisitions a 67 Ross super deluxe that was yard art that I have started rebuilding.

Haven't updated in a while but since last post I've gotten this 83 hutch pro racer frame and fork with a crank set.

After removing the paint and adding the missing parts

Seen this today at a swap meet/ flea market today laying between bunch of junk asked how much he told me $10 set it in my wagon and snatched the money out my wallet. I already have a stand by it was a cheap one not very sturdy. This one is way better

its a bench mount and I don't have a bench where I wanted to put so I used a piece of 6 x6 and 2x8 and made a place to mount it.

A close up after a cleaning and oiling the moving parts.

Wish I would have had more money on me than I did I saw a 24" sears spider and a 38 bf Goodrich.

Yesterday I went to the st.augustine picked up this I think 94-95 dyno vfr or nitro not sure.

Read that I could possibly get the date off the handle bar under the grips which says 94

But the serial number making me think 95. I'm thinking the chrome will clean up decent enough for me. Took some chrome polish and rust remover and xxxx steel wool to the back of the seat stay and turned out pretty good for little effort. Going to try a OA bath on it if not blast and paint it.

had this dia compe big dog brake on it

Today I went to the Webster swap meet and picked up this late 50's? Firestone 500 if anyone knows different let me know please.
Came with some new fenders and handle bar and since I am going to just clean it up and leave it use the new stuff on something else and look through my stuff and find something that'll match the patina. Maybe replace the seat if uncomfortable and it's pretty crusty.

Late 50's bike, made by Snyder, who also made Rollfast and Hawthorne bikes. Here's a 57:
