the hoard I picked up ( pic heavy )

Green Dragon · Jul 15, 2011

Met a guy at the flea a couple wekes back, said he had some 20" stuff to get rid of and was cleaning out . finally got to go look / pick it up .
Turns out, a few 20" and a lot of old ladies.
Here's the haul on the truck:

all unloaded and spread out:

lot of potential / parts...

did get this fastback, 1967, need parts, but not bad.

other 20" = european of some type, odd dropouts / rear frame style.

Sears Tote- Cycle.. looks Huffy built

another eupro folding bike, neat look to it:

Huffy Customliner

did get this nice JC Higgens with rocket light.

my personal favorite - this Evens colson with unusual fenders and big knobby tires.

nice haul of early stuff.

will post more pics / close-ups of the klunkers for id help, etc...

Nice picks. Old 20" muscle bikes always take me back to my Screamer 2 and my best bud's Gremlin. Damn those were cool bikes. Too bad they don't fit this 50 year old anymore. I need to replicate one with a 26" frame.

Those old Tote-Cycles are pretty cool too.

The Colson looks like the big money bike there. Very very nice, and unique, I've never seen anything like it.

The Fastback is missing a lot of expensive stuff... you're probably better off riding it as is or parting it. The shifter alone will set you back $100. Rims are wrong, but at least the tires are a size you can get (unlike originals).

The gold Euro muscle bike looks to be a Tyler. I have a girls model that's similar, same 1-bolt stem and 3-piece crank + sprocket.

Higgins girls Flightliner type bike is nice too!

Have fun, great haul!
