It's off the bike

Well the frame's going to take a ton of work to straighten out and fix so I'm more than likely going to part the bike out. I mostly build Schwinn's so that slingshot front fork will probably be going on eBay. I decided to use the front tire on a different bike.

Excellent. The serial number starts with 9W. But it's nice to know that it is a slingshot front end.thanks

I picked up a bicycle at a garage sale today. It is a stingray style, sort of. I know I've seen this style of bike before I just can't place what make it is. The front tire says Sears linear tread and it is a 16-in wheel and the back is a 20. Any help and identifying this would be greatly...

Thanks!

Thanks!

I absolutely love the look of this bike. I wish I'd been the one to build it. But the guy I got it from built it out of parts he had and I think it turned out well. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it

Thank you very much. I like to go to a lot of car shows and I like to take a bicycle with me usually I take my custom OCC Schwinn, but now this one's in the running for being in the back of the truck. Lol

Thanks! I dig the mix of parts as well!!!!

Yesterday I picked up a '56 Columbia 3 speed Kustom bike. It has a tank, modified springer, 1950 JC Higgins girls fender skirts, 3 speed click stick and rides great!!! I'm calling it the CreamCycle!

Seems to have worked!!! Thanks!!!

I'm just getting ready to work on the bike so I will give that a shot

I did try that. And the threads did not go down far enough so I ran a tap down the hole and made sure they go down far enough now. I will try shims

Well it feels like the bolts or bottoming out and they just won't tighten up enough but I will definitely try that. I know with these handlebars there a giant lever. So I will definitely try that thank you
