| I PICKED UP A WOMENS 26 INCH WESTERN FLYER AND IT READS GALAXY FLYER ON THE CHROME CHAINGAURD. THE BICYCLE LISCENCE WAS DATED 1931 WHICH WAS THE REASON I DECIDED TO BUY IT. I COULDNT FIND ANY WOMENS W.FLYERS THAT RESEMBLED IT ON THE PIC DATABASE. CAN ANYONE LET ME KNOW AN APPROX. VALUE. I BELIEVE IT IS ALL ORIGINAL AND IN DECENT SHAPE FOR THE AGE. IM MORE INTO STING RAYS AND SUCH IF ANYONE WAS INTERESTED IN RESTORING OR TRADING. THANKS FOR ANY REPLIES. |
| What width tire? What brand and model rear hub? Tank? Rack? Lighting? Painted or chromed rims? |
| CARN IS IT? IT'S A BENDIX COASTER BRAKE, NO TANK,RACK OR LIGHTING, AND THE RIMS ARE CHROME. NOT SURE BUT I THINK THEY ARE TWO INCH TIRES. I MIGHT BE MISTAKEN UNLESS A BICYCLE LICENSE LASTS 40 YEARS, BUT THE LIC. READS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM 1931-CRYTAL, MN-BIC. LIC.-EXP.6/30/71. IS THIS A 1931 LISENCE. ALSO THE SERIAL # IS K264432. ANY HELP? |
| The space age name makes me think it is a 60s or 70s bike. |
| i have a girl's hiawatha, last licensed in '54. it has a half tank, rear facing dropouts w/adjustment screws, built in front headlight, rear rack,front trusses, and huge handlebars. i would like to date it, if possible. but most of all i would like to part with it. it needs to be restored or used for parts. the rims have nice original paint. if some one could give me a value estimate, it would be appreciated. thanx, christian visit: http://www.angelfire.com/dbz/forum |
| The early Bendix single speed coaster brake had nice bearings! The wheel spun so nicely, this one has a threaded driver too. |
| Cool! |
| Bendix started making this hub in 1946. They made quite a few diffrent hubs. Never knew they used threaded drivers and sprockets. I picked this up and thought Oh another Bendix hub, big deal. but then again I never saw one of these before! Just when I think I have it all figured out, just when I think I have seen it all there is more and I'm still asking what is this to? Who made it? what does this tool do? The cog has razor sharp, curved points from being used so much. How many diffrent hubs did Schwinn put into the 26 X2.125 S-2 rims anyway? |
| This is a real auction, not like that other auction frequently doublepoted on this site... Aegis Bicycle Company's vintage bicycle collection Auction Catalog, Friday, October 27, 2000 Details at: http://thomastonauctions.com/featurecatalog.html |
| Maybe you should have double posted it, that way the owners of the collection wouldn't have been BEAT so bad on the deal. Well there is always next time. O'I guess not, they don't have that collection anymore you sold it for them for a whopping 8k not to bad of a lose, 12K. Next time leave it to the professionals, maybe you should have considered Xbid. |
| I found a strange, in my novice opinion, seat at a bicycle warehouse this weekend. It is a Dunlop seat with three vertical springs, 2 in the rear, one under the point. They are connected by two vertical set bars running from front to back. The seat is a plastic? type covering, not vinyl or leather. I cannot find anything like it on the web. Any suggestions to age or origin? Thanks, in advance. |

| I have come into the possession of an old cruiser bike which I believe to be a 1937 Columbia judging from the style and serial no. Only the frame and forks are original with no original paint. I was hoping that some expert on the matter could tell me how common this bike is and if its worth fixing up. I know quite a bit about bicycle maintanence but am a rank ametuer when it comes to vintage bikes. Any info would be greatly appreciated. |
| Hi, I'm helping a friend restore a Western Flyer bicycle. He came to me for some bead blasting and disassembly help, and now I'm interested in helping him find a parts source. I think he has most of the original parts, but there is a broken piece that may be hard to make. I'll have to fake it with the nomenclature, so here goes: There are top and bottom ball bearings in the head tube, one half of each bearing race is pressed or brazed into the frame, and the other half is internally threaded and knurled on the outer rim. This rim is missing about 1/3 of it's circumference and I would like to find a replacement. Can you give me any suggestions or sources for such a part? I live in Long Beach, CA. Also, he wants to remove the bearing races to have them re-chromed. I think they may be brazed in place, not just a press fit. Would it be difficult or inadvisable to remove them? Thanks for your attention, Gary Hastings |
| Any bike shop should have replacements for those parts. In the case of a WF, especially. They're pretty much interchangeable. The cups are generally pressed in, and may be knocked out using a piece of wood and a hammer. You can buy nice, freshly plated ones. The cones, even knurled ones are pretty much common stock at most shops. Good luck. |
| Hi from the u.k. everybody.I need help, Ive been offered a looong low bike, probably fairly modern (`95 ish?) but in the style of an early baloon tyred cruiser. I ts got G.T. as the maker, and "dynoglide" as the model.I ts rare over here, and no one knows anything about it It looks like a cartoon drawing of a cruiser from the 40`s. Im not sure its the sort of thing you folks appreciate, as its obviously modern, but any help/photos/information would be helpfull. Maybe you could mail me at catfoodrob@lineone.net Many thanks |
| The bike you describe is from the Dyno/G.T. "Kustom Kruiser" series of cruiser styled bycycles and accesories. The one you describe sounds like the Roadster model. A fellow bike enthusiast over here Hot Rodded his, in that he put a Schwinn five speed stick shift and gears with a disk brake for the rear. He then laced an old front drum brake on the rim, put on a set of Dyno's 'Fireball' tires (the tread is hot rod style flames, very cool) on it, and a repop Schwinn style springer fork. It's long, low, black, and rides SOOOOO smooth... I have used a lot of parts from this product line , and am very pleased with not only the look, but the qualty of these parts, and bikes. Hope I was of some help, Rif |
| What is the correct chainring sprocket for a '52 Schwinn Panther (boy's)? I've seen mostly "Sweethearts", but mine has a "Phantom" style (all of course are 1/2" pitch). As far as I know mine is original (sure looks like it!) and it doesn't make sense for someone to have changed the chainring (and left everything else original), as they are pretty durable. From what year (beginning) to what year (end) were the various types of sprockets used: 1. the Sweetheart? 2. Phantom-style? 3. 4-leaf clover? 4. The old A.S. style? Thanks to all.... |
| I wish I could help, but I'd like to know the same thing. Any experts out there? Any anecdotal evidence? |
| the phantom type or the "AS" type are the only two that were put on those models most other models had the typical clover type like found on typhoons. if have more questions e-mail me |
