Drove 150 miles in the rain last night to pick through a barn find of bikes.
got some 20"ers,a Huffy BMX, and the following finds, all somewhat rusted, most should clean up.
Goodyear Highway Patrol badged Columbia 3 speed.
unknown brand JC Penny badged ladies 10 speed,got it for the nice pedals and eye-stabber levers.
Phillips ladies 3 speed, Sturmey Archer hub.neat chainring.
Schwinn Twinn frame, 5 speed
Ross frame & fork
Huffy 5 speed twist grip shift, first one I've owned, Lark W deraileur
24" Raleigh Rampar ladies 3 speed. good muscle bike parts or ?, Sturmey Archer again.
my favorite - Hercules 24" camelback frameset ( more like bike without wheels),nice shape, and the Rampar 24" bike cranks should fit ? ( don't think Raleigh had special arm sizes.just threads in the BB ? )
and this Shelby Speedway Special frame, one seat stay has a small bend / dent that I think will pull out nicely, this would be a nice RRBO frame.have not decided yet.
good haul methinks, long drive but you never find hoards anymore.
