After visiting the Toronto Zoo for our first anniversary, we made a stop over at my wife's grandparents' house. I never knew my wife's granddad but I got his old bike. It has been sitting in a basement for decades. It's a 1959 3-speed Raleigh Robin Hood Sports. I'll get more pics, this thing is...

Picked up this prewar Snyder built Hawthorne frame, truss fork and Columbia tank from forum member zedsn. It's about a '39-40 I think. Nice and straight with the perfect amount of age spots, lol. I think this may be a Build Off canvas. For now, I am just going to clean up the paint and hide it...

Here is a pic of me on my trusty '48 Hawthorne from my wedding.

Here's the one I am going to enter. All original faded paint. I added the '30s Shelby sprocket, crusty Delta headlight and a license plate off an old shopping cart under the seat. Cheers, Jordan

I don't normally buy girls bikes, but this old CWC one has been looking at me for a few months now. It was sitting outside a vintage lighting store in Toronto for some time. The guy wanted way too much so I left it there, 3 months later I offered him $150 and he bit. I know there is more then...

We recently had our engagement photos done, with a couple of our bikes as well. We did some riding shots, but they haven't been released, but here are two I have. I rebuilt the purple bike for Leigh-Anne for Christmas two years ago. It's a '54 Roadmaster, mine is an original paint '48 Hawthorne...

Picked up this beast off HotRodRob's dad a while ago. Did a few minor things to it and gave it to my dad. He's always wanted an old ballooner and he's the one who taught me how to turn a wrench, change a tire . . . It was the least I could do. He loves this thing, and so do the people in town...

I am throwing my hat in the ring for the heck of it. I have the tank to start.

I recently picked up this 1949 CCM Twin Bar Ballooner from feebay. Luckily the seller was in an area that scared people away so I snagged it for the price of a good wheelset. These are a pain in the butt to find tires for! Luckily I had some old ones around. The truss rods are wider on this...

Went for a visit to HotRodRob's today for some scotch on a cold winter's day and came home with these NOS Grip-O-Lite coke bottle grips. I have never seen these before. The box glue smells pretty darn old to say the least. They do light up with 2 AAs but need to be grounded by the handlebars...

I am helping a friend gather parts for a Colorflow restoration and he brought me this springer that came on his. Being mainly a CWC guy I am stumped. He swapped it out for a beehive I had for sale. He thought is was a Schwinn, but I know it is not. I know it is not some chickity china thing as...

I got this frame, fork and fenders from a '41 Roadmaster from Road Master. Took a while to get the parts together for this one. Scored a Nexus 4-speed wheel set off HotRodRob and mated them to some cream Fat Franks. I had the old front load Delta fender light in my parts stash and the patina...

After I picked up the '46 Roadmaster I headed over to HotRodRob's place to drop off a frame and got this bad boy. I first saw this bike when I met Rob over a year ago, and every time I've been to his place since just 'hanging' around. It came home with me. Digging the light and the 'experience...

Picked this bike up on Sunday for a few parts. Mainly the super clean and tight Morrow wheelset. The paint is all original. The bike was hardly ever used. I swapped out the parts I wanted for a new chain, '90s Electra wheelset and '80s Schwinn sprocket. Sold in my 'hood for more then I paid!

I have been after a '46 ladies Roadmaster for a while now for one reason, well maybe two. The wheelset! Oh and stem, and sprocket, and the chain. The bike was originally way overpriced, even with the nice paint and parts. A year and a bit later I made an offer on it. I will get better pics of...

My dad gave me a tip about this antique store that was going out of business as the owner was retiring. He said there were a couple of bikes there as well. I picked up a blacked out bell. The bikes that were out were a Huffy Good Vibrations, crappy ladies Schwinn and a couple of rusty Raleigh...

Found some cool accessories lately. First off is a BEVIN black out double ringer bell. Sounds like an old telephone. Next is a nice pair of soft 26 inch Uniroyal Chains. Next is an old Norco Whirl Away bird for your spokes. Last is a 1990 Tony the Tiger Kellog's reflector. I...

Just got home from a trip over to Buffalo with HotRodRob. I will post pics later today!

Here is a starter one. Gonna get out the camera this weekend. My '48 Hawthorne on the pier:

I picked up this Collegiate sometime ago. It's a 2-speed kickback, super clean and original. It was ridden some, not my cup of tea though so I listed it locally to see what happened. I also recently found this ladies Higgins for sale in front of an antique lamp store. Due to shows...
