    What got you into vintage bikes and collecting?

    I was reminiscing about the old days with a friend and talking about our early bicycle days while looking through my bike collection and I thought I'd share a little Kokomo Indiana history with you all and how that started the bicycle addiction in me that will never die. Plus I found some...

    Got my fork today and it will not fit the Roadmaster as the steer tube is not long enough but it will fit my trike so the draggin' wagon has some new jewelry. Also parted down the huffy girls' Cranbrook I picked up at the junkyard. Some decent wheels and tires then noticed these really cool...

    Got the new Fat Franks installed on the Trail Blazer and it made a huge difference in the look. Also threw on some black torpedo grips and swapped the seat for a newer and more comfortable but still look the part seat. I am in love with this bike now. Group view... Also here's the Concord New...

    Draggin' wagon

    Pics... Also a hint of things planned in the future if I ever get time off work. Hint: 5 Trumpets on 125psi for those joggers with their headphones in who won't let you pass on the trails...😈

    Draggin' wagon

    Well after all the sad faces I will try to find some time to work on this thing. I got my rear fenders the other day. This big metal band clamp was at the flea market and chopped in half it will fit the bill perfectly.

    Another eBay score. Roadmaster Shockmaster fork. Hopefully it fits the roadmaster girl's bike I have if not it will go on my trike. These are one of the smoothest riding forks I have ever ridden. Have the same one on my Western Flyer Super and it rides like a Cadillac.

    2 more this morning at the junkyard. Nothing crazy but did pick up a very clean girl's Huffy Cranbrook that looks new but has a flat tire, and a Concord New Yorker touring bike with a 3 speed that will be a donor for my 1917 Columbia Arch-bar frame. I'll get pictures later but the Concord looks...

    Draggin' wagon

    Well I hate to do it but I'm throwing in the towel. Things have imploded at work and I can't get a day off work for anything so I don't have time to build and it doesn't look to be changing any time soon.

    Spotted this JC Higgins at the local antique store and had to have it. Guy was there placing new inventory so he even delivered it to my storage unit for me. $100 well spent. I'll probably loose the basket, put a more period correct seat on it, and ride it till the wheels fall off.

    It's Free it's for me! Saw this add on local Marketplace and went after work and grabbed it. Do you see what I see??? Yes that's right a June of 1968 Coppertone Schwinn Panther! Even has the optional speedometer! Rear reflector is intact, chain guard is there, pretty much everything but the...

    Draggin' wagon

    It kinda fits. Little adjustment and I think it will work for a rat bike.

    Knew I had the picture somewhere... Found it. Guy still has most of them.

    Draggin' wagon

    Got this on an eBay auction that may find it's way into this frame... Hope it fits but if not I may modify it to work.

    Just scored this little gem this morning on auction and I'm hoping it will fit the trike. If not I will make it fit.

    Yeah the color was great. Not as metallic as some of today's bikes but a rich burgundy. Almost reminds me of the Dark Cherry Metallic they used on Chevy Impalas of the mid 90's. New owner loves it I saw him out riding it the other day I ordered a new seat and grips for the trailblazer and...

    Got this old Trail Blazer badged bike today in trade for my Cannondale and Stranger things Predator 24 inch and some random parts. I think those fat franks I got are gonna go on this. Any ideas as to a year and maker on this???

    New rims, tires, tubes, and rim strips for the Cannondale. Looks so much better. I did reuse the original spoke protector plate and 5 speed cassette just to keep it as original as possible.
