    GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- FORT WORTH BIKE SALE

    Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES Is this the advert? http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/bik/2638258211.html I was actually of the assumption that the good stuff would have already been cherry picked, very selectively and ahead of time, as the ad alludes to.... Very interested to...

    New on the showroom floor

    Clearly Schwinn has been paying attention. Kudos! My only complaint about the raw bike above, since they're listening, is the fenders. I LOVE fenders. Big, long, wide fenders, and, stubby customized, bobbed fenders. The fenders on the above mentioned bike look like 60's middle weight fenders...

    MADE A BIG MISTAKE TODAY...

    ^ This is how you make big strides toward making things right. When it comes to many circumstances, it's how you react to them that matter more than the circumstances themselves.

    Last Week's Trip To Antique Archeology

    Danielle was not there (according to a third party in Iowa she never is anymore). Danielle's equally tattooed but, most unfortunately, very homely counterpart was :(

    Last Week's Trip To Antique Archeology

    Stopped by "Pickers" during a long road trip. Neat place, very very small. They say TV adds 10lbs, in this case I think TV adds about 2,000 square feet. This original location is not so much their hub anymore, it's more of a small museum and a place to peddle T-shirts and hats and coffee mugs...

    Schwinn Experts, Phantom Serial Number Help?

    Schwinn Experts, Phantom Serial Number Help?

    I thought that too. The crank says only "AS&CO", no date casting..... I'm not sure if they were doing the crank date casting into the 50's????? But please keep up the ideas, thanks guys.

    Schwinn Experts, Phantom Serial Number Help?

    Ahhh, ok, this helps get me going in a direction, thanks Slick Rick! The serial is on the rear dropout, BUT, I thought that change was made in '52 (I have a '52 in the other room with it on the dropout), according to http://www.angelfire.com/rant/allday101 ... odes1.html Springer is a...

    Schwinn Experts, Phantom Serial Number Help?

    I bought a mostly restored Black Phantom in pieces over the weekend. Everything looks on the up-and-up but I'm having trouble with the serial, I'm afraid it's one of those overlapping numbers.... C01404 I can't tell if it's a '52, '53, or '57. Are there other elements about the bike that I can...

    Bicycle People?

    I passed it off the first time, but the second time I was asked if I was an artist it really got me to thinking.... I don't know if being called an artist is a good thing or a bad thing......

    BIG WAVES IN CHICAGO.... UPDATE 10-21

    Re: BIG WAVES IN CHICAGO....youtube The swell on Friday was the tail end of Thursday night's storm. We were up in Door County for the craziness. Seriously, I've been in a couple less-intense hurricanes. Power was out for 80% of the Door until Saturday. Luckily we had a gas fireplace in our room...

    Shipping

    Your thread here runs parallel to the one I started yesterday about making buying commitments. Frankly, this "how much is it shipped to Fresno" window-shopping stuff is a crock. No, I really don't know how much it's going to cost shipped to Fresno, or Des Moines, or Hackensack, but we both know...

    When Somebody Says "I'll Take It"....

    Oh I agree that for the most part, there's a considerable degree of integrity here, but this issue is no case of "one bad apple". I had no less than 4 people tell me they'll take it on an item recently, then, vapor. I do think there's quite a bit of Ebay psychology going on too. When a person...

    All Chrome Tanks on eBay...What's the deal?

    Prices look about right to me........ They're reproductions, and yes, they will fit a Jaguar. That particular cantilever style stank can be found on and off for much less on Ebay with a little patience.
