It is rare that I get challenged for bike stuff by the estate sale "regulars" even here in the ultra competitive (for everything) Bay Area. As Muttley said, 99% of the people will not have a clue so bring cash and tools. Good luck!

As an estate sale junkie, I'm glad that sale is not near me. Because I'd be having an anxiety attack worrying about trying to get there 1st!!

I picked up this girls 1967 Fiesta a while back as part of a "package deal". The 67 Fastback handlebars and grips made it worthwhile. (is that seat wrong or what?) As far as I know, 67 & 68 were the last of the 20" tank bikes. The frame is a bit wee - like a Lil Chik but the tank makes it...

The fully extended forks using the 20" wheel look great. I dig the Murray look because of the straight bottom tube on the frame. Sweet.

Very cool but why do you say they are so bad to ride? (not that I've ever ridden anything like that) Visually amazing but they do look "challenging" to steer. Thanks!

It would be on a 1969 Stingray frame I have. Converted to a coaster 3 speed with a tall sissy bar (of course). Thanks.

Very cool! This site is pretty helpful: http://www.vintagecolumbiabikes.com/

I had asked about a 20" wheel look as well. I've got a drum brake wheel off of a Columbia and a heavily re-chromed S-6 (too far gone to save the knurling) for this type of application. Assuming I get a chance to acquire one of these magical forks. Otherwise its old school multiple fork bonding...

Both look great. How would a 20" front wheel look? (I hope that wasn't a sacrilegious thing to say...)

You are a man of integrity for sure. I'd buy from you any day. That being said, I'd still want a set for my Stingray and would never part it out - and I'd put that in writing................

Thanks Crash - nice find. Except for the sissy bar, it looks dead on. Pictures and any other info such as year are what I was looking for to find the correct chainguard and now I know it did have fenders so I need those too. I got it from a fellow estate sale junky who bought it from a...

I posted this on the 20" Muscle Bikes page on Facebook so if this is redundant I apologize. Hello everyone. I wondered if you could help me with information about a bike I have? I can't find any information on the web or even a picture. Its a Marubeni Yamaguchi - "Benny". It is very unique but...

I have a 68 Apple and it may be the nicest looking bike ever sitting still. Riding it? Not so much. Its a heavy bike with lots of flex in the back (shocks) and front (springer). You will get noticed though! Looks like you have a great start - mostly there. I would try to get that guard...

Cool orange on the fastback was 71 & 72. Sunset after that. Gonna be a beauty.

BTW - The little red sticker on the main tube is a 1974 Sacramento Bike License
