Welcome from a fellow Minnesotan.

Spray paint usually comes off with acetone.

You might try gripping the cup with a vise grip plier and then whacking the plier with a plastic mallet.

I have the same bell on my 1908 Elgin King. Sounds like the ice cream truck coming down the street.

I will be there and setup with a couple dozen bikes. Any Rat Rod members please come by and introduce yourselves. I'm the old guy with the grey goatee, probably wearing a green NDSU hoodie and driving a dark green F150 with a trailer.

Nice find. The pedal extension is often used because the threads have been stripped in the crank.

Wasn't there a 60's Panther with a peanut tank? That tank attached to 2 tabs welded to the frame. Except for the tabs, that frame would be the same as a cantilever Typhoon.

I bought a socket that fits the nut and used my air impact. Sometimes on a tough one I have to tighten and loosen several times to get it moving, but it hasn't failed me yet.

Colson with what I believe is a high dollar chain guard.

I don't think it is a 1952. Middleweights weren't introduced until 1954. I think it is probably 1958 or 59 before the Speedster became a lightweight.

Welcome. You have a wonderful resource in the Portland/Vancouver Iron Ranch Swap Meet.

Mine has a factory clip that is right near the attachment/pivot points on the stand.

Nice find. You are probably aware the bike has the Shockease hidden springer.

Not the Twin Cities, I'm in Ottertail. If you look on the left side, under my avatar and name, it gives my location. I suggest you edit your profie to include where you are.

They show up on ebay quite often.

Welcome from a fellow Minnesotan. You may want to try a spacer between the fender and the crank housing. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Welcome from up the road in Ottertail. You will enjoy this site and these good people.

Thanks Clancy. When the snow melts I may have to try and ride this thing.

I have never before run into a contraption like this. Says it is a Radial Gear 9 Speed. When you push/pull the shift lever, it somehow stops the front chainring (nylon) and the parts that drive the chain then move in in slots (smaller diameter) or out (larger diameter). If that isn't weird...
