These are fenders I picked up cheep for a rat build. They are not on the correct bike. I was hoping the wrap around brace and the unique axel mount were unique to a brand. Thanks for you input, I will look at some Higgins and see if they are the same.

Can anybody please help me I.D. this fender? I would like to track down the cover for he light but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

That's me freezing my ... off in the 1st pic. Cant wait for this year. See you there

I picked these up for a rat project but I am second guessing. I have no idea what they are from but they are cool. Any help on telling me what they are and what they are from would be appreciated.

I will be back this year as will my friend. We had a blast last year and can't wait for next weekend.

This is what I started with. What I think is an early '50's Monark built Western Flyer middleweight. I then added some fenders and tracked down a tank from a member here (i cant remember his name but I am grateful) plus a fork swap to fit the front fender. Then it was time to blast...

How is this powered? I am thinking of trying the same type of thing.

Re: Please Help. What do I have? I got the frame sandblasted and found the numbers stamped under the bottom bracket. On the drive side is WC57 non drive side is 056 and there is a #1 stamped by the chain stays. Can someone id this for sure?

Re: Please Help. What do I have? I looked closer today and there are no numbers anywhere. Whats the chance of finding a tank for this?

Re: Please Help. What do I have? Not that I could find. I will look harder in the morning.

Re: Please Help. What do I have? Nope. Nothing like that or the holes for the rivets unless they are under the thick paint.

Re: Please Help. What do I have? There are 3 very faint dots that are not symmetrical in any way that I can see thru the very thick coats of paint, but no badge.

Re: Please Help. What do I have? How hard to get a head badge or tank? Any idea how old? Thanks for the quick response. I have a ton to learn.

I have been lurking here, gaining knowledge from all on here. Today I picked up my first old school cruiser but I don't have a clue what it is. The head badge is there but there is completely faded away. I know it is very pieced together as the previous owner told me it was and I have no...
