You dida great job getting the og paint back. I just had to do that to a set of drop center wheels that had silver paint on em. Took me so long to take it off but now the original paint to the rims are back and look awesome so I can only guess how time consuming the frame was. I've got a couple...

awesome bike!!

Thanks for the reply and that's a truly beautiful bike!!!!

Ok awesome. Thanks for the info. i was looking on niagra cycle and they have a bunch of different size wheel sets for 700c wheels is there an average width size I should get? Sorry for the airhead questions but I dunno nuttin bout these wheels

i just bought a late 20s early 30s elgin camelback set up. It's a 28 inch wheelbase bike. I learned the hard way buying prewar tires for my other 28 inch bike that those tires are so much money. With that said I was thinking of just getting a set of 700c wheels and 28x1.5 tires. But I'm seeing...

luckily you have a nearly complete original prewar. Besides a delta front loader light and a drop stand you're set. And those two missing parts are readily available on the innerweb.

Wow that bike is amazing!!!! You got a great deal. I've seen these sell for $1200-$1500. Is the tank original? I thought they used hanging tanks but I'm not certain. Regardless it's an amazing bike. What's the serial # to narrow down the year? I have an original paint 39 westfield motobike and...

Wow that looks awesome!!!!

i guess I'll chirp in on this. Like everyone stated vinegar and salt water works well but that only draws out a certain tone. Peroxide will give you red rust tones and Clorox bleach and salt water will give you more of the green and blue tones. For example if you're trying to rust out something...

Well my buddy just dropped off the dyno. I love vintage bikes I mean next to my kids Classic bikes are next in my heart. But this dyno is the nicest ride I've had!!!! I'm super happy with this bike!!!

I ended up caving in and agreed to the trade. I'm getting the dyno a drop center wheel set I need for my '39 and folding money for my schwinn. My buddy is a die hard schwinn guy and I'm not so Im stoked on it.

Wildcat you always amaze me how much you known bout these bikes and I'm feeling my age that I couldn't see those were hearts without my glasses lol.

What's up man. I don't believe that's a columbia. It actually kinda looks like a monark frame with schwinn fork and columbia chainring. Check the rear dropout for serial # that's where columbia would have it or sand down under the crank casing and see if you can find something. I know my bikes...

Yea for sure give the bike a wd40 bath but I'm sure you already plan on that. Lemme know how the linseed method works I've never tried it before but the cabe guys swear by it.

Yea man they are amazing bikes. I've told my kids a handful of times if our house ever burned down they each have a bike to grab and my mead is one of them lol. And your wasp was so kool man but I agree you got a real kool replacement.

I agree it's m&s. I have an original paint 1928 mead built by schwinn. Mine is also badged as a crusader but is a 28inch motobike like the schwinn b10. I love meads enjoy your bike
