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

[Classic Cool Rides]

They really kinda just landed in my lap via a lead from a fellow RRBer.

Just trying to pay back some favors you've done for me, bud!
At some point I'll post what I've done with the 2012 Fat Tire Ale Frame "kit" I got from you last year ...... and your good deed of connecting me with @aceuh has lead to plenty of good deals BOTH way with him and me! Just good ole Bike Fan-Nut-ics we are Cheers!! CCR Dave

Thanks again @Classic Cool Rides Dave!

Picked up the 1959 Columbia Fire Arrow with 2 speed Bendix wheelset today.

Most people would think this was a yard sale banana hanger

But it sure looked like a bicycle front grille to me.
(not for Holeshot)

Hey Brian! Good score! I just heard about those frames yesterday from a bike shop all the way up in Greer, SC who I was in to see ...... WOW ....... those were really getting around. What are you planning to do with them?? Cheers! CCR Dave

 

[macncheese]

Wow those are some great scores! Wish that Oldster was in my garage and wish that Fiorelli was my size (and in my garage!)

Those are the same ones. I plan to keep one and it looks like I already have the second one sold.

Scored these 4 goodies on my travel day front end of my biz trip today.


JC Higgins ***Flow Beehive Skiptooth

SOLD

Murray Eliminator

And pick up the two TSP Oldster frames
ONE SOLD

 

[kingfish254]

Hmmmmmm, I wonder what an Eliminator mega guard would look like on an Oldster?

 

[kingfish254]

Well, I won't be using the big guard on an Oldster. Just found out that the first Eliminator that I have touched is a rare one year only MK2 with single speed and 20+20 wheels.

Don't worry, I've got plenty of room in the truck to bring it home.

Cool guard on the *flow

Cool guard on the *flow

Yeah, I have a feeling that is a period correct aftermarket guard or maybe even earlier aftermarket. But nice.

 

[kingfish254]

Got this cool metallic root beer saddle and even cooler T-Shirt from @Falstaff today when he stopped off in Savannah and we went for a bike ride. Check this out @Jake Sensi !!!

 

[kingfish254]

Picked up this big 3G cruiser with 57mm wheels and kickback 2 speed and 3.45" BOAs. Got the whole rig for about the same price as the tires cost. I think this is the Venice model with the pedal forward design.

Prewar aftermarket, have one on my 41 Colson.
