I got there just after 12 and there were no lines. I parked in the field and walked in. I had originally went to look for a classic Cadillac but this bike called out to me. I felt it deserved one last shot at being road worthy again. Plus it was only $6.00. :lol: There were tons of bikes for...

I'm diggin the wrapped look. I may have to do something with that. Thank you for the idea. :)

Yes, I picked it up on the Thursday when PIR opened up for the swap meet. The guy had it priced for $6.00. He said the person he got it from was getting ready to take it to the scrap yard. He figured it was worth trying to save.

Thank you. They are defiantly the focal point of the bike for me.

That is what caught my eye with this bike. I plan on using all this stuff when I get it back together...

Re: Non Repro Apple Krate Looks good. What is the red you're using?

Nice spitfire, keep the patina and make it ride-able. :D

Today I purchased a Mongoose BMX bike for $5.00 to use for parts and mock up parts. I plan on swapping out the crank housing with a standard sized one, so I can use a common crank. If I can't use the fork with that frame, than I will need to cut and weld on a standard neck as well. The frame was...

After soaking it in PB rust buster for a week It started to come apart but not like I wanted it to. The handle bar neck was badly rusted and snapped at the first attempt at separating the stem from the forks. This will take some extra time to get the broken part out of the fork but it is worth a...

After doing some research and coming up with next to nothing on this bike I am going to use it as a custom builder. I purchased this at a swap meet in Portland, Oregon a week ago and liked the style of it. It is pretty rough but I think I can do something with it. The Frame says it's a King San...

Thank you. I have been looking, but I've come to the conclusion that this is very, and I hate to use this word without further knowledge on it, "rare". I have contacted a few people on this bike and they are stumped as well. One person that I contacted lives in Japan, but he could not find any...

I picked this up at a swap meet and can't find much on it other than what is on this website I found, http://derbyking.com/Detail/?n=190 . The head plate says King San A AAA Co. Japan. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome build. I'm diggin the blue powder coat.

Love the build on this bike. Clean yet subtle design.

The brake levers are originally what caught my eye. That head badge is the best part on the bike. :lol: I'm just trying to figure out if it is worth building. I'm sure it's not one to restore but maybe to build as a rat rod bike.

I really like the fender ornament and hope I can save the fender. I've never seen another one like it.

I picked up two bikes at the Portland Auto Swap Meet. Between the two I only spent $36.00. The first one I have never heard of. The head plate is stamped- King San A AAA Co. Japan. I tried to search this but only found one site that had one but nothing overly informative about it. If anyone...

Hello all, my name is Kevin and I've been reading threads from this site for a while and love all the work people do on here. I picked up a couple of bikes today and found it to be a good time to make my intro and join this great community. I live in Vancouver, WA, 5 minutes from Portland, OR...
