Kingfish254's Finds - Over Ten Years of Kingfish Scores!!

[kingfish254]

Got the box in this morning! Wicked springer, sweet frame (sale pending), Monark guard and solid laidback seatpost.

That springer didn't stay on very long before I took it off and mocked up on my Elgin build off bike VerBoten. This is gonna be fun!

Got this Sears Screamer 5 Speed Shifter headed my way.

USED on Nanner Puddin

 

[heartlandcruisers]

Picked up this cool shifter at the bike show and the training wheel springs at a yard sale.
I figure the springs may be good for a springer fork or saddle or something someday.

I have those exact spring training wheels I bought for my daughters bike I like you're idea of making a springer form them I might have to copycat that idea

Picked up this strange 24/20 bike this weekend. It was a Washington DC Transit bike with a 24" 3 speed and roller brake.

I kinda dig the styling of this it's kooky but it has cool lines and a 24/20 would be a good combo for a custom build any idea where they are coming from? and how much they go for I would not mind getting one in my stabe.

I was thinking that, but it is for a single top tube and he said that the left arm was connected as a rear brake.

The ten speed shifters, dual stick, did come in a single top tube version, I have two. I've only ever seen one of the 5 speed with drag brake versions,missed it on the bay 5-6 months back.
Wonder how the brake version differs internaly from a 10 speed one.

Do you have a photo of the single top tube version? Both sides of mine are identical friction based arms (no clicks). I am sure that mine could be used with a ten speed or drag brake.

 

[rfeagleye]

Yes, you could use that as a drag brake on one side, since they are both friction shifters. Not a bad idea at all there!

I have cases for those, if you are interested in a case for the one with the white knobs.
