Hey everyone! Quick note as our swap meet is this coming weekend: as our venue is relatively small, 500 bike Bruce will be there (he lives not too far from the event) and there are other collectors as well in town that have a lot of bikes. -if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for at...

That thing….. is just a gratuitous display of wealth!!!!

It’s killing me not to wash, wipe and clean everything! -I’m trying to keep as much rust, dirt and grease on there a possible! Much easier said than done!!!

Thanks @Wildcat ! Nope….. these are just some rusty chrome fenders off of an old junker. I did the test fit, and there’s going to be plenty of work to get these guys to fit and be fully functional on a ride.

So…. Disassembly went ok: you learn a lot about why these guys sat all these years once you tear into them! -couldn’t get one pedal off…. The crank is bent. I’d wrestle the pedal off if the crank were straight, but it’s not. Need to round up a crusty crank n chainring. Front rim hub...

This is one crusty critter!!! I don’t even want to start wrenching on this thing until I soak some of these nuts, bolts and bearings. There’s a pretty ugly mix of dirt and rust all over this thing. Bombed it with marvel mystery oil…. I’ll hit it a few more times today and during the week and...

Thanks! I put a rear rack/baskets on my summer build-off ‘Proper Rat Rod‘ and love them: both the look and the function. sort of like a poor man’s Harley bagger! :21:

Great looking bike….. I LOVE that rear suspension!

Thanks Bart!!!! I actually salvage a lot of $$$ out of parts bikes (usually step through / women’s) I smother in paint and sell for $100-$125 (US)

Thanks! -scored them from my bud 500 Bike Bruce for a $10 spot!

Yeah…. I guess it was inside a fence? Lol! it didn’t really roll very well. Anyone who grabbed it was going to have to carry it!

Super cool frame with that rear suspension. Can’t wait to see how it comes out!

You ever pull any large mouth bass out of those canals?

Beautiful place! Is the shed your bike shop or just for other stuff?

Finally here are some parts. Not sure if I’m going to keep the wheels or replace.

As I’m limited on space, I spent yesterday moving Christmas decorations out and getting a space ready in my basement for this guy. Still super tight, but it’s all I got for now!

Ok: here we go! Scored this old Huffman I think last winter. I used it as yard art all summer. Im going through a basket phase, so I thought it would be cool to build a beater that can be loaded down with gear and ridden on or off road. Wreck it, drop it…. Who cares! The goal here is to...

Bars look awesome

Thanks! -I am going through a basket phase! I’m going to keep the rear baskets on there (I actually bought those about a month ago…. (They’re not technically mounted yet) and replace the small gray front basket on there with the larger, rustier one I have laying on top. pulled some chrome...
