    Schwinn Panther straight bar frame & fork

    Looking forward to getting this in the mail! It's from an ebay auction but think I did pretty decent on it since it looks like it's in great shape & I like the paint.

    Our Golden Retriever puppy with '48 Schwinn

    We added another Golden to the family a few weeks ago & I was hanging out in the driveway with her when my daughter cruised up on her old Schwinn. Photo opp! It's probably the last time she'd fit in the basket lol. This is Roxy!

    Son's 1st rat rod build... a '62 Typhoon

    My 14 yr old boy Mike fell in love & bought a 62 Typhoon for $60 at the Links & Kinks bike show near Dayton last summer. It was the first bike he bought himself & he couldn't wait to take it apart & fix it up! In fact we took it apart so fast (that night) that we forgot to take before pics...

    What to do with a torn Brooks saddle?

    I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to do anything with one of these with trashed leather?

    Late 30s CWC double bar roadster

    Resurrected a frame & some parts I got from yeshoney here a little while ago. Just added some CWC parts I had from another build & it worked out pretty well. Nasty, but clean.

    Interesting Huffy prototype

    I picked up another bike over the weekend. The Mrs. isn't too crazy about my new hobby (shocker), but she likes the fact that this will be a father/son project with my 13 yr old. Should be fun. He's leaning towards painting it black and adding some chrome apes (although I think these bars are...

    63 coppertone Jag

    Picked this Jaguar up today. This one's all original except tires of course. The badge is still floating around in the back of my 4runner :lol: These pics are as bought.

    Is this Middlemore saddle rare?

    I bought this Middlemore saddle last week when I was checking out a local bike. Got it pretty cheap, but after searching the net for it I got the basic info that they were made in England by a horse saddle company that got in to cycling saddles with roots from the 1800s & eventually went out of...

    40s CWC build

    I finally got some time to get to my '38 (or so) Schwinn I bought some mos. back [correction: it's a 40s CWC]. I'm not exactly clear what yr it is but the serial # is C89578. If anyone knows, please chime in! Pretty solid frame to start with though. The forks that came with it look to be...

    63 Galaxy BMX cruiser klunker

    This is a 26" Western Flyer I bought from a bike picker not long ago and wanted to make a neighborhood beater for my 2 boys (ages 12 & 13) & I. Got it relatively cheap (way under 100), but picker prices are higher than picking it yourself...that's for sure :lol: Overall it was in good, but...

    New guy from Lancaster, OH

    New here and to RRBs in general but have always had a great interest in bikes, going all the way back to the 70s when I grew up. Had a Stingray type bike in about 72-73 that I put knobbies on front & rear along with a motorcycle type handlebar & rode & jumped the crap out of it until I broke...

    63 Western Flyer Galaxy

    Bought my 1st vintage bike last night! A 63 Western Flyer Galaxy barn pick from a guy on CL. It's been repainted sometime in the 80's. My original thoughts were to paint it black and rat it out, but after I picked it up I'm not so sure. The re-paint's not bad (except for the chain guard for...
