Yeah, apparently shaft drive. The current owner says solid rubber tires. He, or she, lives near a college campus so I suspect these were rental bikes. I would like to find some more tech info, and parts source for them.

These are for sale near me. Anybody know anything about them?

Another one I won't be rat-rodding. Picked it up today. Rod brakes, fully enclosed chain, 28" wheels/tires. My first Forever and only my second rod brakes bike. The other is a Raleigh with 28" wheels/tires.

The seller said he rode this little Schwinn at age 5 in 1953. It was his brother's before him. He also had this old unknown skip tooth frame. And this unbadged frame. And three wheels/rims. The two end ones are a pair, maybe off of one of the frames shown above?

I'm thinking about this for the Schwinn tandem, if I can find wheels to match up. What say ye?

Here's another tandem I've had for several years. It's a Dec '71 Schwinn currently with wrong mismatching wheels. I would love to upgrade it with better wheels and good rear brakes. My Columbia Twosome has a rear drum. I'd love to install one on the Schwinn.

Hey, still here, just not lurking as often these days. I never did locate a correct wheel for the Sutton. Have not yet ran across another Sutton either.

I just picked up this 1985 Columbia Twosome tandem. The tires hold air but the cables are seized and the chains are stiff. Once those two issues are fixed it will be rideable. I plan to restore it. If my wife won't ride it with me my son & daughter-in-law will ride it. I also have an older...

Here's another trike I had stashed. I think I'll restore it next.

Now that I know(?) what it is, I checked out other posts on here related. I read one saying these are rare. How can that be? What is considered rare?

Here's a probably not very vintage, trike I picked up a few years ago. It came with two new tires & tubes installed, and a third matching tire & tube but was missing one rear rim & spokes. Fortunately the axle & hub were there. I just robbed a 24" rim from a junk 10 speed and laced it on...

I've found this on the 'net. I think I'll drag out a couple of junkers and build it. I'll post pics as it happens.

Awesome! I'm going out right now to take a pic of my '49 Studebaker truck, with a bike of course. Here's the '49, still with the original 169 cu in flathead six,and my daily driver '55. The bike with 32" wheels is longer than the bed so it has to sit at an angle. The '55 is on a 1987 Dakota...

My "new" Raleigh with rod brakes has some small holes, the largest about 1/8" in the front rim. I hope to find a replacement rim but I'd like to do a temporary repair. I'm undecided about the best way. JB Weld? Solder?

I bought my first rod brake bike today, this Raleigh. I will need a replacement of or one of the 28" rims. I'm pretty happy with it.

I want an English 3 speed bike with rod brakes. Restoration project.

I would like to know the value of this Bianchi.

The asking price was $45 but it was in the basement, where things get moved to after they've been on the main , upstairs floor for a while, so the price is probably negotiable. I'm not usually into banana seat or ape hanger bar bikes but if the seat had been original... And it's a girl's bike.:(...

I found this Western Flyer three speed ladies bike at a local antique store, cheap. I forgot to look for the date on the rear hub. I wonder if the banana seat would be original to the bike. If it's original I might go back and get it.

The Rudge is missing the tire pump and I would like to find one for it.
