I just picked up a funky Blue autobike today for free! It looks like everything is there and a couple of new tubes will put it back on the road. Can anyone tell me more about this bike? Is anyone looking for something like this for a build? I'll try to get some pictures up ASAP.

Who knows anything about a Montgomery Ward open road 12 speed bike. I found one in pretty sad shape and it's quickly turning into a new build. It has Shimano gears and hubs. The neck tube had a decal that read Montgomery Ward Open road and on the bikes body it had shimano stickers as well as GT...

Hey all, New here and taking some good advice. How (or where) do I find a 26 inch shimano coaster brake rear wheel to replace the old 12 speed set up it came with? This is my second bike and I'm going a little further with this one than just a clean up and ride. We've (my son and I) already...
