    My first fresh find post - Hibbard - Brought up from the Titannic but free!

    Hi guys, again wanted to thank everyone for their help with more info about this old girl. I posted some pictures over at the CABE and with some additional help over there we figured out she is most likely 1926, built by Schwinn for Hibbard! Now to find a rear fender (might be tricky), and...

    Thanks FastForward, that is pretty darn close. I think the frame design is earlier however. Notice the difference of the design near the head-tube....

    Not sure if the stamping of the serial number can help determine she is Schwinn made or not? I know the numbers themselves may not be much help based on what I am finding.

    When they bring relics up from the Titanic they soak them in a big tank before exposing them to air... Similarly I will have to submerge this thing in a big tank of hot penetrating oil to break any of the bolts/nuts loose!

    Hi all. I am new to the forum, and thought because the "fresh find" portion has always been my favorite to read it would make sense to post something here first. A fellow contacted me to say he heard I liked old bikes and explained that he would donate two bikes to me so long as they stayed in...

    Hi all, Love the forum, and have been a long time reader/follower. Love the "fresh finds" page as well as all of the builds that become true works of movable art! I have been a BMX racer from an early age who still finds time to race at the ripe old age of 36. I love old cruisers and have...
