Last one, not quite finished, but... This little 16-incher is destined for grandkid duty... Pulled the hard tires and installed a set of pneumatic tires... Still have to clean it up, install a chain and find some training wheels. Ought to be a cool one for the kiddos!! Sent from my...

Next up was a cool straight-bar “Columbia-Built” Westfield. Picked this one up in a lot of 4 bikes. Pulled a wheel set from another bike, straightened the fork, tightened up the loose stuff and, SHAZAM!!!... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cleaning up the little shop (affectionately referred to “Somewhere Else” around here) the last few weeks and started taking inventory of frames and parts needed to assemble riders. First up was this old ‘50’s Huffy step-through frame that I’ve been trying to sell for years... I had a spare...

With a little tinkering, I came up with this.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had this ladies bike for several years and can’t seem to give it away, so I’m going to tinker with it and build a swap meet rat bike. Not that it really matters, but...does anyone have an idea of what I have here? First thought was Schwinn, but the chainwheel doesn’t look right...

Just a quick “Merry Christmas” to all my two-wheeled brothers and sisters!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks!!

Thanks all! I'm thinking I'll remove the fork and put it in my press. It needs to come apart to replace the bearings anyway, so....

A friend contacted me about several bikes he has found at a yard/estate sale a while back. He sent pics and he helped me get the deal done. Fast forward to this weekend, I now have them in my possession. Columbia-built Westfield Custom Deluxe - thinking its around 1953... Anyone have a tank...

'59 Schwinn Wasp Custom

Final touches were completed on Friday night ahead of a Saturday morning departure. FLASHBACK: Back in February at the bike swap, a gentleman had noticed me admiring a little trinket he had for sale. At the end of the show, he approached me and handed me the item..."Here, have it!"...

Next order was clear! I used U-Pol clear from my local NAPA. Sprayed really well, but don't paint during high humidity...it gets milky! Ask me how I know.... Once cured, the project was fast-tracked to get it done by this past weekend. Initial assembly started...

Fast forward to a couple weeks ago.... My plan for the build included a thorough cleaning, then application of some Fink Green pinstripes (of course, you know me!!) around freshly repainted Schwinn graphics. First order...paint the white! ...then PINSTRIPES! I used House Of...
