| A lady just gave me an 1936 American Flyer bicycle. Does anyone have original picture. I am also alittle courous what it worth, Price not important , just looks cool. She said there was strings that covered back wheel. I would like to restore . I really need a picture. |
| Hello, I am also restoring a 40's western flyer bicycle. If you go to the western auto web site, you can bring up ads with some pictures of these old bikes. I don't know how much difference there was between these years, but it might help you a little bit. Good Luck, Don |
| Sorry, I got American Flyer, Western Flyer mixed up. Don |

| I have a 64 or 65 Schwinn single speed tandam Im willing to sell but due to it being in mint condition I have had no takers asking $1200.00. If interested send a reply. |
| Does anyone know when Huffman bikes changed their name to Huffy? Was it in the 40's or 50's? |
| It was 1949. Huffy was the nickname of Horace Huffman Jr. who had taken over the company in 1942. His father passed away at the age of 59 in 1945. |
| Thanks Gordon. (By the way, I just found the Huffy Website with the time-line showing all different sorts of things.) Well, this means that the boys 20'' bicycle I bought isn't as old as I had hoped. Still, early 50's or even 1949 is a nice find! Fred A |

| my friend found a ballon tire bike in great shape at a local scrap yard. I believe its a 59 schwinn tiger girls bike still has original rubber. whats the unrestored original going for these days. he's lokin to sell? |
| Without seeing I would say under 100.00. Parts worth more than whole bike. They have to be cleanable.and in great condition after. |
| I recently purchased a Sears/Ted Williams model three-wheeler. It is a three speed with 24 inch tires. It is in great condition and I am wondering if it is worth anything? |
| if its safe, sound and all works any and all 3 wheelers start at $150 or so, they are pricey new, and anything cheap and new is junk. Sears didnt carry junk. it cost but was worth it. |
| i'm in need of a complete original tank horn assembly for a ladies 1952 schwinn hornet (not the same as mens) it has small button willing to trade some vintage parts for it please e-mail me if have one and what your looking for in trade. thanks |
| does anyone know anything about a schwinn middle weight cruiser called "debbie" possibly made in the early to mid '40's? if so please e-mail me with info and any picture that is available. thanks |
| That is shorthand for "Schwinn Debutante". There is probably one in the picture database on this site. |
| Not correct. Schwinn made a "Debbie" model from 1960 to 1962. Certainly not in the forties. |
| I just bought a HUFFY boys 20'' wheeled bicycle. The name on the chainguard is HUFFY CONVERTIBLE and pretty much matches the girls version on the picture data base on this web site. Only missing parts seem to be the headlight and a tank. The color of the bike is black and red and has a leather seat and truss rods. It also has the screws at the rear of the frame for positioning the wheel. I read that this bike was produced from 1941 to 1945 (though I can't imagine it being made during WWII). Does anyone have any info on this little gem? Thanks!!! |
| Hey all, On my way home from New York, I stopped by the Vintage MotorBike Club swap meet in Portland, Indianna (July 4th week). Anyway, I dragged home from there a middleweight wheeled bike that has all the earmarks of a mid fifties Columbia. It was complete minus the seat. The only I.D. is the name Viking on the tank. The tank is very unusual and that is the reason for this purchese, it cught my eye and I just couldn't resist. The tank looks like it was inspired by the old Flash Gordon / Buck Rogers serials. There is no indication in the database of this beastie. I would like to find out more about it, so if anyone has a clue please let me know... T.I.A. Rif |
| Well, It is definately a Columbia middleweight, between '56 and '59 (my buddy who knows quite a bit is making an educated guess- I'll trust that). Yesterday while out cruisin' with our vintage bike club, my buddy stated that she had just picked up a girls Columbia middle weight to rob for parts. I'll be darned if it wasn't the girls version of my Viking! Well a deal was struck and if I pulled the parts she wanted I could have the rest for my bike! I'll be out in the shop in a few minutes, swapping parts! Later, Rif |
| I just cleaned the few coats of house paint off the rear dropout and found the serial number- E268894 According to the serial number chart it is a 1959! Not a bad deal for $15.00... Rif |
| Woo Hoo! Good score. |
| Does your Dodge know you`re cheating on her with a Columbia ????? lmao, I couldn`t resist hehehe. |
| Oooh, My ol' dodge doesn't get jealous. Now that old plymouth on the other hand... LOL Rif |
| How rare are Allstate blackwall tires 26x21/4 in good shape & what would they be worth? Thanks. |
| pump em up to 45 lbs once and you will see what they are worth. most old rubber looks great flat. would be worth some coins if they dont go pow. |
| Hi all... I just bought a woman's pre-war Rollfast bike missing only the original saddle. Of course, it was repainted years ago entirely in red and will need a complete restoration...but it's all there! The headlight works...the horn tank works...amazing! The rear rack has eight square holes in it, something I've never seen before. Chainguard is there also. Anyway, what I would like to find out is where I can find some info, specifically what the original colors were and what the year is. According to one of my books, "Evolution Of The Bicycle", it appears to be a late 30's or early 40's. No springer, but truss rods. If anyone can lead me to any info I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Fred A |
| Like this ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2561394461&category=12 |
| Hi Joel....... Yes, EXACTLY like that, thank you! Except, of course for the bad paint on mine. I'm going to try and carefully remove the paint and see if the original paint is under it. Maybe I'll get lucky. Now, if I can only find some catalogs on Rollfast............ |
| bought two matching bikes except for the badges,one is Arnold Schwinn Pullman,,the other is a airplane,train,and race car badge and says schwinn,,Pullman #B80318,,and other #I34080,,what is it?thanks |
| They are both Schwinns. A picture or good description would help determine what models. www.bunchobikes.com |
