I would say it's a Columbia made bike for some store because the head badge doesn't look like they used on their own name. I noticed Columbia & Murray has similar fork designs but the sprocket looks the same as the Columbia bikes I have just looked at. Like this one in the thread link. Third...

That Free Spirit is built by Murray for Sears with cool paint. The stem has numbers on it above the insert line which has the year on it. Example: My Murray Monterey has F278 94 makes it 1994. The decal above the bottom bracket has numbers on it too that can help date it and helps you to get...

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories Yeah man. I have never been flagged or flagged anyone before so I'm not going to start for Karma's sake.

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories http://lakeland.craigslist.org/bik/3959269477.html I sort of agree but not everyone that has multiple bikes is a dealer. I haven't had mine on for a few months but I was thinking of putting them on again this next weekend I hope this guy...

The odds that I see the bike I traded away last year to help a homeless guy with a bike that actually worked on CL a long away from where I live. They took the rear wheel with a 3 speed off then took the exercise bike handlebars off along with the better mesinger seat. If it's still there the...

I agree that it looks 50's or 40's but I don't know the exact year. It's made by Murray so I believe the serial number would help you.

Nice. Never heard of Universal but it does look like a Tyler a Romet and a few others so I guess multiple companies used the same frame work & design. I didn't want to post a pic to your thread so here is a link to the old gallery thread I made for unusual & Orphan bikes like that. As you can...

Definitely made 58 to early 60's with the same frame as the Murray Missile. Member who has Sears catalogs would know the exact year.

Looks like a Tyler from Poland or a Romet but there are some other bikes the same way.

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories Doesn't know what brand it is but it clearly has a Huffy head decal from the late 80's or maybe early 90's.

I saw one of them at an antique store and they want $500 in rough condition. Said he seen ones on Ebay go for $1000 which is why they put the $500. He said it's a promotional bike because he or whoever owned it said Coke was asked about the bikes which has no record of them or whatever. I'm...

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories That Yellow Schwinn is a reproduction and it's been on CL at that same price over a year. Looks like it has the same seat as the Murray Valiant Classic I had with no company name on it. Edit: I didn't notice the last link. The second bike...

No problem.

Cool. Looks great.

Totally sweet bike. I'm guessing the light doesn't turn on.

Most of the new ones are 27x40 while the originals are 27x41 or at least mine is. But it might be only on the ones used at theaters. I have numbers on mine too. 830156 then Christine under it at the lower corner next to Columbia Pictures logo. National Screen Service Corporation with other...

Color highlighted area: 8-5020X1-0408(98) 1

Ok. That would be 1998 for the year and yes it's the model number so you can order the bike or the parts which they still sell a few at Sears Parts Direct. To Wildcat: Yeah apparently back in the late 90's Murray was doing retro bikes to keep going until it was too late then sold off the...

Yeah as I said in your other post it's a late 90's US made Murray badged JC Higgins. Put the stem at the insert line because it looks lower than they usually are on them. If you need help on the year post the numbers on the stem above the insert line and the decal above the bottom bracket. I...

That Murray looks great. I was thinking of doing something like that on mine and the funny thing is all the rust & faded green/blue paint is exactly the same too.
