Kngtmat's Finds

[kngtmat]

Flea Market $20 score on these Lester mags with a Bendix 76 hub, the hub needs to be checked because the hub doesn't roll smoothly like it should since someone messed with it.

 

[kngtmat]

Thanks, I just need to find a Murray BMX with everything else and I will be in business.

 

[kngtmat]

Is there a way to date Lester mags or at least anyone who knows the few years they were made because I looked and nothing has much on them?

 

[kngtmat]

I have a few more bikes today but I didn't do much getting anything done with them after this busy day.

Ladies Sears 3 speed that I don't know the year of with the numbers 502-47275043863.

Men's Kmart Allpro made by Murray number MO9647812 U5687426, the Murray date was 8/79 and it had Suntour parts U rear derailleur, Spirt front derailleur and the rest I didn't look close enough.

Ladies Trailmate Easy Ride with a date on the Wald Stem of 95 but I only saw 4 numbers on the frame, it has 24 inch wheels but I'm not sure if they are original since there is a gap between the tire of the fork & rear.

The last is a little Huffy Rockit that is a nice little bike but the crank is bad.

 

[kngtmat]

Does anyone know if the decals would come off on these Sears bikes like they do on Schwinn's if I wash them so I will know if it's safe to do so?

 

[kngtmat]

Thanks, I like that the Trailmate was made in Florida and the bike shop decal on it is from a Lakeland bike shop called Sparki's Old Time Bicycle Shop but apparently they had 2 at the time the bike was sold but I only saw one address last year I checked for local shops near by so I guess since the mid 90's they went down to 1 shop.

I just got a 10-81 Murray X24 BMX Thanks to bikewhorder over at The Cabe minus the rear wheel & tires, I will post my own pics whenever I get the time.

Nice find on the X24. My son has one that he likes to ride.
here it is after we got it rideable

here it is after a new set of blue gum walls from porkchop

It had all 3 pads on it but 2 of them was beyond saving

 

[kngtmat]

Thanks & that looks great.


I cleaned most of it but it must have been in a pile for years so some chrome is coming off in spots especially the handlebars except for where the pad was so it is a rat BMX, maybe after I get it ready some day I will get it re-chromed then maybe add a blue clear coat on that if something better happens for me.

 

[dragnusa]

Id just clean the frame up as good as I could then clear coat it. and strip the blue and spray it with the rattle can anodized blue. were going to switch to a blue viscount seat either put a blue chain on it or strip the chain guard and anodize blue it.

 

[kngtmat]

Ok, I can put them together to ride but painting is not my thing which is why I haven't finished my Christine bike since I don't want to mess up the custom paint I spent a lot of money on unless someone where I live wouldn't mind trading one of my other bikes for a paint job.

 

[kngtmat]

The last bike I will buy again. I got it to use the wheels on my Christine bike instead of my 24 inch wheels but I just have to find another Lightning Dart tire for the rear. It has an LHR The Special Balloon Tyre on the rear right now and the bike is from 4 1982.

I will get rid of the rest.

I am thinking of getting this 1969 Ford Falcon. I am just giving the link to the pics and if he finally gets the Title I am thinking of getting it.

[kngtmat]

Nothing great to most people but I got 1 of those Huffy Regatta 3 speed bikes at Walmart today. No pics yet because there has been a lot of rain recently but if it clears up I will take some.

Also.





$99 instead of $199.

 

[kngtmat]

I finally got to ride it today and it rides & shifts perfectly. The only thing I really had to do was fix the chain guard to because the crank arm was making noise against the Regatta badge.

 

[kngtmat]

I got 6 seats for $20. Most of them Chinese but look good and they have rubber covers like 80's Mesinger & 90's Persons seats used on Murray beach cruisers.

 

[kngtmat]

I got a light for photography Medalite Strobe Model PG3001-ML. Sorry no picture but it looks like it was brand new along with it's box.

This Huffy Tulsa today for $0 today too. It needs to be cleaned along with the rear brake cable adjusted and maybe re-greased. Other than what I said before it looks just about new with a scratch on the top tube because the reflector that was on it and I'm guessing it's from 1996 with the numbers on the old Wald front hub.

 

[kngtmat]

Here is the pictures of the light. I might sell it to someone who could make a custom bike light or if someone still uses older cameras can use it.

My latest find is 4 door 1965 Ford Custom 500 289 V8 Automatic for $800 including being delivered home. It need some good work including new front & trunk floor pans and other repairs for the body.

Do you still like your Regatta? I bought one of these this year as well and really like it. It cost me $149 on Rollback (aka sale :roll: ) through the website though. None of the stores in my area carry the Regatta.
