Good eye spotting that rare 2-piece sissy! Rare bird there! :D Someone was creative with this one!

I love reading this section of the forum to see all of the treasures that pop up and are saved by fellow bike lovers. Most of the time I envy everyone for their great fortune, but this weekend the bike Gods were smiling on me. I was emailed by someone who said they had an old Huffy Rawhide...

Thanks Gary! Good point about the skirt guards.....very art-deco, but not manly at all! Because I don't want to be jumped by the guys in the neighborhood I'll pass on the skirt guards! :D

Yeah, I noticed that! I expected it to be the other way around with the train lights being the harder piece to find. I sure like the look of those more personally. I would love to build mine up like another member here.....this one is a beauty! Monarknew001 by coupehunter, on Flickr

Thanks Nick! That would really bum me out as I LOVE the way those train lights look! I will get a picture when I return home from work tonight. It has a series of screw holes in a triangle toward the front, and another single hole in toward the rear closer to the head-tube. Is there a good...

Re: My first Monark! Score from weekend bike swap in Lincoln NE Wow! That is excellent! PM sent!

Hi all, Thought I would share pics of an old Monark that I picked up this weekend! I have always wanted one, and in a strike of luck I purchased this one early for a really low price! Needless to say I love it more than my wife does as she gave me the skunk-eye when I pulled it out of the...

Whoa!! Santa had a load of goodies in his sleigh for sure! I love the GT survivor loaded with big-daddy parts! Congratulations on the super finds...that is really great!

Thanks for the serial number help! Finally got it today and it was Christmas early at my house! My wife might not think so, but that is another story! CE9 must make it a 1979! Blue annodized Suzue hubs, Labeled Race Inc bars, Araya wheels make for a pretty neat bike. I plan on cleaning it...

Sorry for the crumby cell phone pictures, but these are the images a friend sent me saying his uncle was cleaning out his garage and "getting rid" of a bunch of stuff. He kept the bike out for me saving it from being donated. I am going to pick it up tonight. It looks to be a vintage nickel...

I am VERY interested in the Girder Forks, Dibs if selling, I sent a PM just now.

Hi there. I actually purchased the Matthews frame from tgriffin27 and am in the process of restoring it right now! I made him an offer on it and he accepted. (a class act guy and seller by the way - I have never received a bike with better packaging!!) I have always wanted to restore a...

You bet! Looks like a 1982 Schwinn Predator to me! Cool frame, but you are right about the cranks...those are a great score! If you don't have love for the Predator let me know! I would buy it from you! I have a decent Predator with a damaged frame weld and tweaked fork. I thought I would...

Yeah...it sure is. The Excel was one of the "lower grade" freestyle bikes from Hutch. I still have my original "lil holeshot" that I raced as a kid, but never thought I would ever find another Hutch frame on the cheap! It was a neat experience. Coming from fixing up/restoring old cars I am...

Being an old BMX racer from the day I couldn't believe my luck when this popped up on CL Thursday of last week. I was asleep at the wheel because the posting had been on for about a day by the time I saw it. What was listed as an old Diamond Back was in fact a 1987 Hutch Excel. She is...

Hello all! I stumbled across this site by accident, but it has really changed my direction when it comes to collecting and building old bikes! I have always been interested in bikes as my father started me off BMX racing back in the early 80's. My friend and I were working on pulling an...
