[Lavrente]

So I kinda fell into quite a few great bikes and still havent broken paying a total of $100 If somebody is interested in something let me know.

Murray Sands 3 speed

His and Hers Fuji Bedford 3 speed shimano thumb shifter style

Schwinn Contenential II

French Road Bikes

A Kent

Spaceliner Frame

A Collegiate

Parts:

Was only given one weird!

 

[ElChupacabra]

That Peugeot is super nice. You could sell that for well over $100 with a fixie conversion here in Philly area. A pile of great finds. Plans for any of the bikes?

 

[Lavrente]

The french racers I am going to combine the best parts of each clean everything and make one amazing bike. The Schwinns and Fujis Clean and Ride!! 8) Frame going to a friend to get him started. Other stuff selling to promote the madness!! I think the Murray is going to be sold.

Thanks I want to use the Pug Frame but the Blueish Green Frame is much taller and I am 6'2" So i guess that is going to be the frame... not sure yet after I mix and match I will probably make a few fixies and flip them.

Very nice stuff.

Your tall brown Collegiate is a Nov. 1972 bike... almost certainly built as a 1973 model.
If you tear it down, you will find date stampings and codes on many components, and
if you're interested I can break down what they all indicate.

I have it's sister in a 1969 ladies. Great riding bikes, very comfortable. The tall frame
is very desirable. I think you'll find it's a 24" if you measure it. The tallest they made
without being a special order.

The color is Sierra Brown. It should clean up really nicely. The paint on the chainguard
will probably come off with some Goo Gone or other cleanup solvent, anything that's good for
removing graffiti. Keep away from the white chianguard graphics, they are always fragile.

I'd think you will have no problem flipping it if that's your intent. Otherwise it's a great
rider. I ride my '65 Collegiate all the time. I have taken it on all kinds of road trips.

The tires you'll need for it are Schwinn S-5 or S-6 size (they're the same size, some companies
refer to one or the other). Labeled as 26x1-3/8" size but they are the odd, larger 597 mm
diameter. Most common lightweight tires you find are 590mm- these do not fit. If you need
to order tires for it, try Memory Lane (http://www.memorylane-classics.com) or Niagara Cycle
(http://www.niagaracycle.com). Only 2 choices are available as far as I know.

Good luck with all of them, looks like you will be busy for a while!

This sickness hit me like a ton of bricks that i happened to see falling from a 30 story building and sprinted under it as fast as I could. :mrgreen:

The frame is(was) a Sears Spaceliner. The '502' prefix means made for Sears, and the second # is the catalog#. The # for a 64 mens' 'liner is 46921 w/a 2 speed Bendix hub, fairly close to your #. Although yours has a 6 digit #, it's not clear if the second # corresponds exactly to the cat.#'s, but they seem to be very close! (And cool finds on the others!) ~Adam

If you're 6'2" and into road bikes that Motobecane is a very nice find indeed.

 

[Lavrente]

Yea the green motobecane is a 10 speed but the gray one is a 15 speed plus the brake system from the pug I think will make one killer bike. Then fixie conversion on the other two frames and flip them.

 

[MBblue6]

Nice finds. Could you email me on the bow pedals? [email protected] Matt

 

[Gold Street Customs]

Do you want to get rid of the headlight, if so let me know...

If we were closer I would be after the pair of Fujis. I have one Fuji. It is a 5 speed womens model and it is a very good riding bicycle. It caught my eye at a flea market because of the folding baskets on the rear.I hope my wife will enjoy riding it.Good finds. 8)
