Re: The "Dirty Snapper" is born!!! You still want the toolbox?

I would be sure to remove the stem and forks the grease the bearings before giving it to the lady. You may have to end up cutting it off, but it would be cheap and easy to replace them. Who knows when the last time the headset was lubed? :)

Re: My project I think it looks pretty neat in its original state. I have always had good luck taking a Saturday to completely tear down a bike, clean it up, wax it, then put it back together. This way, you get all the nooks, and small areas clean to. That old paint will really buff up nice.

My bike hauler is a 66 kombi. It holds allot of bikes, but it doesn't get them anywhere fast. 8)

Hey guys, i figured it would be good to spread the word about this bike. Its a beautiful bike for a good cause. Its ebay item number 170206128434.

I would suggest becoming a member of thecabe.com. Those guys can most likely tell you the year of the bike. It looks like a pre World War 2 Autocycle to me. They can also give you tips on how to clean up that paint and make it shine. They may even have the missing chainguard and rack. The...

Nice bikes! You might be surprised at how nice the original paint on your blue Schwinn tanker will shine up, plus nice original paint specimens are getting pretty hard to find. Heres a good example of one cleaned up.

Great looking middleweights! I rode my Jetfire X-64 to work yesterday. Sorry for the crappy (inverted) picture. Notice the customers dog sniffing around the rear wheel.

Heres a pre-war Colson Warrior with a camelback frame. Is this the kind of bike you speak of?

Not quite right. I think the Hawthorne lens is just a tad to big. it looks like this. Thanks though!

Heres the only pictures I have at this point. Most of them are back in my home town sitting and a garage. (I'm a college student) Heres what I have! The Columbia (daily rider) My Hawthorne with sweet taillight The Jetfire and the Newest (in the mail)

Hey guys. I bought a Murray Jetfire X64 middleweight off of thecabe, and it just came in the mail today. I have always had a soft spot for middle weights, and for $65 I couldn't let er go. Sadly the shop that packed it up did a crappy job, and the headlight lens was busted out, and the housing...

Yep, the picture is flipped. The bike is off the market for now. I'm going tot try to sell it through a shop.

Hello, Im pretty new here. I thought I would show you guys one of my bikes. The bike is an early 50's columbia re-badged as a Ludwig (as in Ludwig drums). You guys may have seen a picture of it in the classifieds. I have it listed because I need the cash for other projects, but I thought you...

I saw someone refer to you through thecabe. It seemed like a pretty busy forum, so I figured it would be helpful to join.

Hello, Im new here. My names Luke. I'm a student at CSU in Northern Colorado. I ride an early 50's Columbia to work and school daily. I have owned old bikes since I was 11, the first being a 60's Schwinn road bike I found in the rafters of my uncles garage. Since then it has been balloon tires...
