    Maybe someone will recognize the chain guard

    Thanks a lot. I searched hundreds of pics from most 70s & 80s bikes. It's really heavy and rides great.

    Yesterday I went to look at a $1500 craigslist camper but brought this home instead for five bucks.

    Several decent finds to keep me busy

    This 1980 was offered on craigslist so I drove about 30 miles to see it. It had one real bad tire and one OK tire. The S-7 tires lowered my interest but we kept talking until we were both happy. I was concerned about actually finding tires to fit it. I got a good set of Sunlite / Kenda tires on...

    Went to look at the Sears Lady and came home with this one too. I made an offer on the Lady and / or both. He went to present the offer to his mother inside and I was hoping she'd say no. Well heck, They took my offer. It's too big and too much work. Now that it's clean and tuned with new tires...

    Labeled Sears with a nice head badge and stenciled chain guard. I checked out this bike for the wheels. I needed them for the silver yard art baskets bike. Got this one home and started loving it just like it is. My wife rode it several times and so did I. I later put it out front for $60 and...

    24" wheels. This is the third and final bike from this one seller. Probably not American made. He first offered me the chain from this one to put on the black one (Black Beauty, She's known as now). I declined that offer but while loading the first two, he offered me this one for free, so OK...

    Unknown make. Maybe I can get some ID help when I show the chain guard. It's very heavy and rides great. I straightened the basket and one fender. I added a new chain, matching used heavy duty whitewalls, a leather hub-shiner, a distressed Harley Davidson tool bag, more correct pedals, a piece...

    Maybe a murray. It has those winged dropouts like my old JC Higgins. So far Iv'e decided to keep it pretty much as is. I like looking at it. The previous owner carved his name on every part to deter theft. It has also been engraved " No Resale".

    Several decent finds to keep me busy

    Hey Guys, I've been away from the forum for a little while but I've been visiting some recently. It is very "Slim Pickin's" in my town for an American made cruiser. I searched Craigslist day and night for over a year. Suddenly I got six bikes from 3 sellers. I'd love to share the pics so I'll...

    Show off your Chrome frame bike!

    Salvaged Next from a modern barn of modern Chinese junk. This one has been a lot of fun. It was solid blue but peeling. After a good steam bath it turned out to be all chrome. I have a new Trek hybrid that I exercise with about 5 miles a day but this one goes to the store a few times a week and...

    Uncanny Lever

    I think the stem is from a repop Schwinn Phantom. Maybe called a razor back design. I love it. I say repop because I know my bike is Chinese and the stem fits... Chrome is fun! I have my son's chrome Banshee (maybe pacific) BMX too. It it probably 12 years old. I may have to polish it too. My...

    Uncanny Lever

    It's chrome. I found the chrome under a peeling blue paint. I've only steam cleaned it so far but I plan to polish it one day. Thanks, Mick
