    Cleveland Welding "ARFLITE" Find

    I bought this one off craigslist as a pile of rust a few months back and just finished overhauling it. I'm trying to figure out what it is. The seller said it was a Shelby, but I don't find any shelby marking on it. Only identifiers is a faded Cleveland Welding decal on the down tube, a New...

    Sears Spaceliner Find

    I've been meaning to post this for awhile. I picked this spaceliner up in Austin a few weeks ago and finally got it cleaned up and adjusted. It is a nearly complete original condition; original tires, horn and tank light are working. I'm hoping to upgrade to a spaceliner springer fork if...

    Spaceliner Front Forks: will ladies fit mens?

    Does anyone know if front forks off a ladies spaceliner will fit on a Men's spaceliner? There's a springer forkset for a ladies model for sale on ebay that I'd like to use for my newest acquisition.

    Schwinn Spoiler Makeover

    I got this custom schwinn spoiler off ebay. Apparently, it was owned originally by a Harley Mechanic. Just finished customizing to my liking. First, I ordered a 3-speed extra-wide hub from choppersus and rebuilt the rear wheel. It comes with a stick shift, but no hardware to mount it, so I...

    Going Electric

    I just converted my old mountain bike to electric by adding a hub motor, controller, thumb throttle, and a 36v LiFePO4 battery. I want to use this for my 14-mile commute to work so I can get there without being all sweaty. My battery finnaly arrived from China last night (seems we don't make...

    Old Monark on Craigslist.

    Here is one I just bought that I found through the San Antonio Craigslist. Drove 90 mi to Uvalde, TX to get this and a couple other bikes. The owner said he thought it was prewar Monark. He had put the green paint job on it. Probably not worth much, but it rides really smooth. Not sure what...

    '57 Chevy BelAir Bike

    I thought I'd post this bike I just scored off ebay. Bet no one has ever seen one like this before. I'm not sure what the story is, but my guess it was some kind of Chevy promotional back in the early 60's. Hopefully, I can figure out how to post the picture.

    Making sense of serial numbers

    Hi all: I'm looking at an old monarch bicycle. It has serial # A 1005701. Can anyone tell me how to figure out the year from the serial number? Is there anything else you can tell from this number? Is there a system to reading these numbers that would help me in the future? Any help is...
