Labor Day finds

[jd56]

Went to pickup a bike for another member ( I'll let him post that one when he decides to) and bought these items:

Delta light and battery pack.

A JC Higgins Speedo, that the cable is free but the lens is missing.

A batwing mounting bracket in good shape.

Traveled to the Md Eastern Shore and picked up these bikes.

Late 60s Roadmaster Sky rider....in almost showroom condition

66 Huffy SilverJet.

Parks bike stand (used).

Blackout front ND wheel. Shame I couldn't find the rear wheel.

And a western Flyer...it was $10...why not?

Wow! Nice! Love the Sky Rider and Silver Jet!

Luke.

Thanks Luke
The Roadmaster is a bit too new for my taste but, my nephew wanted it.

Now the SilverJet is going to help me get the other one I have completed. Soon the other will be offered for sale.

great finds. those middleweights are in great shape.. I have a similar work stand, you may enjoy extending the mounting post about 18". kind of a back breaker working with it sometimes.

JD, you are a madman... aren't you out of space yet? ....time to build another building? :shock:

Yeah, I ran out of room shortly after I finished the shop.

The crazy thing is I showed the wife the nephews new old bike and I actually coaught her in the shop showing it off to the neighbor. How great is that

SCORE ON THAT SILVER JET! If you can find the tail light bezel and a new fender ornament, that bike is probably worth around $800-$1200 (based on more common Spaceliners in similar condition). I have a 1965 model thats about as nice! I'm using the 2-tone 1966 seat right now, I'm using wood bleach on the original seat pan. I MUST show you a picture of mine.
