    SOLD 1957 Western Flyer X-53

    Great bike! Awesome deal! I agree on reproduction bikes. Some parts, however, do need to be remade simply because they don't exist and were broken or lost back when the bike was still very new. Spaceliner dashboards, fiberglass Spaceliner deluxe tanks, Spaceliner headlights, '64-'67 Huffy men's...

    $5 specials

    Those late 80s-mid 90s Huffy's are decent bikes, but the deraileurs SUCKED!! I'd swap out those cheap Falcons or cheaped-out Shimanos for something better and sell it to somebody who needs it. That Next? Ick. Strip the tires, tubes, rim strips, bearings, kickstand, brake pads, and cables, then...

    Schwinn 10 speed

    For $25, that's a heck of a deal. Put a new seat on it, make sure it's sound and ride good, sell it for $125 in the spring.

    Huffy head badge question?

    I'm trying to find some old posts but I guess they're gone now. I followed the build of the 1963 Huffy Penguin replica a few years ago on the old muscle bike forums, and I thought I read that the California-built Huffy's were the first to get the full size decal head badges. Meanwhile, the...

    PAINT PROBLEMS! Any help here?

    Some people have been able to pull it off, and I used to be able to. Not anymore though. EPA regulations have changed our paint so much that it's crap altogether. I don't know how to use the stuff most of the time now. I don't have a place for an airbrush, so spray cans have to do.

    PAINT PROBLEMS! Any help here?

    It seems like every time I go to repaint something or touch up something, and I'm using spray cans, I can't achieve a hard, durable finish. I used to, but the new paint doesn't hold up. Suggestions? No matter what primer I use, no matter how much I clean or prep the surface, and it doesn't...

    Worth anything?

    That's pretty unique! DON'T part it out! A Huffy muscle bike guy or a young collector would love to have that bike, just as it sits. The chainring is pretty early for a muscle bike. What's the serial number on the frame?

    Ziggy Stardust Rest in Peace! Good bye, David Bowie!

    David Bowie passed away this morning at the age of 69 due to complications from cancer. We'll miss him! I hate it that I wasn't alive when these guys were young and in their prime :arghh:

    Chain guards -15$

    Got any pics of the bike that "Deluxe Warrior" bike? I'm curious what it looked like. I'm looking for a couple of racks for an early 60's Huffy middleweight if you have any of that.

    The smallest I have is a 36T in that Roadmaster and a 44T in that Western Flyer. I'll do $35 shipped on both of them. You'll get the sprockets, cranks, and all the bottom bracket components. Here's a close up of the Roadmaster sprocket:

    Of course, I think number 1 is really nice too. I don't know what it's off of, but it's really art deco and it reminds me of the speaker grilles on antique radios, or maybe the old style microphones from the 20's-40's See the one here...
