So has anyone used bike frames after they have been through a fire? Haven't got to see how bad they got burned yet, but one of my stockpiles out at my dads got burnt up in a field fire. My nicer bikes that was out there was in a barn that the fire didn't get to.

Ended up just letting the rain knock the loose stuff off then clear coated it and hung it.

I'm wanting some ideas on how to clean this without taking off all the old pinstriping, then what are some ideas on how to protect it?

Nice Western flyer Comet, I have a complete one that I plan on redoing one day. Mines a 24 inch, not sure if they made both 24 and 26 inch versions

The 3 speed and sprocket are the reasons I snagged it up

So a guy I do some trading with stopped by my house today. He had a bike and some records he wanted to trade. So I had some boxes of old president plates I had got from cleaning out a house so he ended up with plates and I ended up with a Huffy built JC Penneys 26 inch 3 speed bike and s few...

Missed out on finishing it, but will continue in the build area, once time frees up

Between over time for the first time in 3 years and working my plan B business, I haven't had much time for bikes. Actually just need to finish the seat and the rims and assemble So hopefully will be able to make some time this week

These was sent to me from the seller, haven't had a chance to see it in person. hopefully will get to see it this weekend

I can tell it's prewar just not really sure what it's worth. Any info would be helpful.

He killed it, I couldn't be happier. Can't till he comes back around to have him do the rest of the bike. Some where I have a star sprocket I'm going to powder coat and have him pinstripe just to hang on the wall.

Had my sprocket pinstriped by Brad Grimm today. He rocked it. Can't wait to get the bike finished now.

Who would even think about scrapping them? And WOW what a find in the Hampton roads area.

Not much going on this week with the build, waiting till this weekend and taking the frame and sprocket to car show we are going to, they plan on having a pin striper there. So I'm going to see how much he will charge for a little pin striping

Digging the look so far. Man I need to get me a monark crown piece for one of my bikes.

Got the peddle off finally and got the frame painted and started putting it together. When something falls on your powder coating gun, thank God for the kids having 3Doodlers Got the fork on right before dark the chrome was shot so its getting powder coating.

Yeah really hadn't thought about how I was going to repaint it yet. May clear the frame and fork then paint the fenders red then dry brush yellow and black over the red, (I have a set of fenders off another bike like this if these are toast). thinking for the seat I will recover one with the...

A buddy said he found a bike for me while he was out on a grass fire call. He asked me if I wanted it and who am I to refuse a free bike. Well he sent me a pic of it today. He said it went through the fire and he hoped I could use some parts off it. Will know what is useable Monday. If the frame...
