I've had this old mud flap forever but couldn't do anything with it 'cause every time I touched it,it would fall apart. Fast forward to the Hayesville,KS. swap...I meet Kevin Murphy selling these awesome leather RatFink (& other)mud flaps that he makes. He's out of his RatFink flaps so I pay him...

I think Wildcat's bike was originally a Roadmaster if the the sprocket is original to the bike. That's the only bike I've ever seen with the skiptooth sprocket that looks like a Monark...correct me if I'm wrong. Hsean,your Western Flyer is awesome...P 8)

Considering the other automotive stuff you found,I think your lead bar may have been used in body repair back in the day. Before polyester bodyfillers were invented,body repair men used lead. Then later as guys started to heavily customize their cars (frenching,louvering,channeling,ect.)...

Re: BLUE SPRINGS, MO BICYCLE SWAP MEET!!! Really looking forward to the 2nd Annual Blue Springs Bike Swap & Artfest...had a blast last year! Me,Hoffman & Sills camped out the night before as the "watchmen"...maybe this year again boys? Anywho,you need to be there if there's any way you can work...

Re: Wing shaped Monark Uber Kool bike!...don't discount your rear fender as a girl's...this bike was built in an era when men still wore long coats & I have heard them called coat guards as well as skirt guards. I don't know if its true or not but it certainly warrants more investigation unless...

That chain guard is way kool...P 8)

Very Kool...especially the wheel color! One of my favorite bikes is my Murray built Higgins "Header" bike...P 8)

Thanx ratina...I'll assume the 53 before the Cw in the serial number is the giveaway. I've always heard that there was some mystery in decoding the Cleveland Welding serial numbers but maybe that's pre-war. At any rate,thanx for the info. The pals I ride with have been kicking around the idea of...

Meet my "New Girl". My boss at Weird Stuff Antiques (weirdstuffantiques.com) brought her in this weekend & I just had to have her. I'm not sure what year she was built (help please) but know the obvious...CWC built Western Flyer...100% original! Not a single dent in the fenders or...

Look'in GREAT guys...I'd never would have thought to "board track" a Zep!...keep us posted...P 8)

Your Delta "Winner" headlight may not be "factory" og but is still very period correct for your '49 B.F.G..I have one on my '49 Schwinn straight-bar. Very nice bike with a most excellent back story...P 8)

Just wanted to say what a GREAT time was had by all of us from the Kansas City area.That Hayesville gang really know how to throw out the welcome mat each and every time we head their way.The Garage Ride on Saturday night is well worth the trip.The Swap Meet is top notch and keeps getting bigger...

Re: Schwinn Speedster Turned into an Entire Load today... According to my resources your Higgins is a Monark built in 1949...thought you'd like to know...Pappy 8)

Hey nateyboy...you pick that up at Mr. Kelly's auction up in Kearney,MO.? If so ,nice score...Ponytail Mike told me what it went for! Hey Kingfish,Marty (10~18 Kustoms) has a FireBolt with the complete tank set so you AINT the only one :mrgreen: (LOL)...Pappy 8)

I don't think its a Monark...they didn't build skiptooth bikes,none that I'm aware of any way.I believe its a Colson as well...go save it...we can sort out what it is after you have it!!!...P 8)

Pretty sure its a Murray,looks like their "Spaceliner" series frame in a 20" format.Seat & sissy bar look correct as well.The forks and their cap appear to be Murray...early to mid '70's I'd guess...Kool though...P 8)

Re: Now that's what I'm talking about.... Another set of the Murray "mystery" tanks...in real good condition too! Now lets see if my pal Marty (10~18 Kustoms) chimes in on these. Exceptional find...the perfect set to build around...Good Luck...P 8)

It seems either you love or hate Monark's "coral" paint...I'm with the former. That is an awesome color especially combined with the black & white. A very KOOL find...cograts!...P 8)

Man...I love that show...those guys are hilarious! Richard,"Can we put bigger tires on it?",Aaron,"The answer to that is always YES!"...you gotta love that attitude! Very KOOL bike w/documention...digg'in the color...I wouldn't worry about the chrome loss unless doing a complete resto...I think...
