After countless parts combinations and a lot of trial and error, I have a roller. So far I've got a 20x3.0 rear tire paired with a 16x1.75 front tire mounted on new steel wheels. It was hard to resist doing black wheels with all black tires, but I'm trying to stay with a more classic look so I...

I’ve been plugging away at this one, but a lot of my time has been spent waiting. Got the frame back from the powdercoater and it turned out great. I was trying to keep this a low-cost build and I got a deal on black powder so I went with it. I found a black Troxel banana seat that was in need...

Great resource @renman. None seem to be long enough... The ID is roughly 1/4"+, and the longest shank on the chart at that diameter is around 3/8". That's essentially what I found yesterday. There's always a chance I'm doing something incorrectly, but the factory grommets seem to be longer...

Has anyone found a successful solution to replacing the grommet/eyelet on a banana seat? I decided to re-furb my Troxel saddle and didn't think twice about drilling out the grommet. Now that I'm ready to reassemble I'm having difficulty locating something that will work for he grommet/eyelet. I...

It's been a good week of progress. I got a buddy to weld up the headtube on Scrapper and close the wounds on the 24" Hawthorne--HUGE victory! Took advantage of a gorgeous Tuesday to do some soda blasting; most everything cleaned up really well. I also managed to track down the rest of the...

I wasn’t planning on entering this build off; I don’t (didn’t) even own any muscle bikes. But I’ve always liked them. Inspiration struck a few weeks ago when some of my 24” parts weren’t selling and I had the brilliant idea to use them on a bike instead. Great logic, right? This isn’t selling so...

Got the forks safe and sound yesterday. Thanks for the stellar packing job and fast shipping--hope we can do business again soon! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And an "info/valuation" thread here from the boys bike. Now that I've got both bikes, I decided to post them in the Fresh Finds over here. There are more pics over on the "other site" of each individual bike in the Classic Balloon Tire Bike section.

Picked up the boy's version yesterday, and with a ton of encouragement went back for the girl's this morning. Miraculously it was still there. I've been told these are either '40 or '41; I still need to post the serial numbers to know for sure.

Picked this one up this morning and hoping to find out a little more about it. Appears to be all original and only missing the headlight. The paint is fantastic--I haven't even wiped it off yet. I passed on a girl's version of the same bike, complete with the ND 2-speed and the headlight. May...

So far I've discovered it's a CWC built Western Flyer only available in 1941. It's the top of line WF for that year and the only year they used the "tall tank". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been doing more selling than buying for a while now, but I made an exception today. It would have been my Dad's 67th Birthday and since I grew up with him taking me to auctions, I decided to find a sale in his honor. Settled on one almost four hours away that listed a 1940s Western Flyer...

I looked closely today and it almost seems like there are remains of a decal that used to be there. Also, there are tiny screws in the head tube that look like it would have held a badge, not a decal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
