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

[kingfish254]

On the same trip, I picked up a 2011 20th Anniversary Felt NB Fat Tire Ale bike from a different seller.

Wow, just saw that this thread has 315,000 views now. Over 12 years of finds now. I might even have 100 pages by the end of this year

Scored this "Savannah Slow Rides" shirt at Goodwill. Had a fun time wearing it on a ride with @Dr. Tankenstein and our friend Chris when they rode behind me.

Also in September, I finally scored a Schwinn Aerovane. Been searching for one of these for years

Those tires are .... man.

Also had this major score in September. A single owner Evans Olympic with Evan Action Cushioner fork.

Kingfish, We need to see some close-ups of that fork!

This coolness popped up on FB Marketplace a couple of days ago. I was out to dinner when the seller responded. So after I dropped the wife off at home, I hit the road for a 5 hour round trip late night drive to pick it up. This Rideable Bicycle Replica "Boneshaker" now sits in my den.

The shaking isn’t dangerous compared to the faceplants. Will you ever ride this?

I'll make a better post of the Evans Olympic later.

It's possible that I MAY ride the Penny Farthing at some time in the future, but for now I love just having it as art in my den.

Lots of cool finds!

Got one of these Cruisin' short sleeve shirts from Dixxon a couple of weeks back when they were on sale for half price.

Scored this toolbox with bike tools and supplies back in September 2023

 

[kingfish254]

I posted this from May 2023 in my wrong thread.

I really only wanted the front wheel, but I picked up a set of these today (May 8, 2023)

I used the fron wheel on my Speedfish Special build for BO17

Scored this cool tshirt of my picking hero in October 2023

 

[kingfish254]

Got this cool 1940s "Savannah Transit Co." hat badge. I am thinking it would be cool to make a bicycle headbadge from a human head badge

 

[kingfish254]

Sold the little Murray, but not before keeping the free goodies. Engine, light, speedo, and basket

Picked up this Phat First Class chopper mainly for the saddle, but these also have great fat nexus 7 wheelsets and other parts too

 

[kingfish254]

On the same round trip to JAX, I got this 1960 Columbia Fire Arrow with the super rare bugeye tank.

 

[kingfish254]

I've picked many OCC choppers for parts in the past, but this was the first time a cheap West Coast Chopper popped on marketplace. Surprised at how better made these are. Cool parts that are more usable than the OCCs

That Phat Saddle is looking like a 20-30s Persons Majestic with that chunky wide seat frame bar.
Very cool.

PHAT actually copied them from a Polish Lepper saddle. I used one on my Uncle Stretch build. They are EXTREMELY comfy and cool looking to boot. They are somewhat similar to a Brooks B135, but with two addition springs across the back middle.

So different from my fire arrow

I should clean it up one day

I'm definitely seeing the Brooks influence in this saddle. And those quad springs are awesome too.
I just noticed a remote similarity with the Persons. I've been known to be wrong before.
It's a Persons Majestic from a WW2 G519 Columbia military bike.

The frame is pretty cool too, I like the x and the double (top?)tube stays
