| Just bought a Bike Bug Model QBM-23 motor and am looking for info. on same. Are parts available and is it worth fooling with??? Tx. |
| Rif must be busy. Yes, the company's still in business, practically in Rif's back yard. Check further back in this list to find info from Rif about it. There is literature available from members of this list, also. Come to think of it, Rif's working on an article for the next issue of BikeRod&Kustom Webzine, on this very subject. When the new issue's out, it will be announced here. |
| Thanks, Jim. I'll follow up. |

| hi there, i recently came upon a website that is selling the 1941 repro of the columbia superb. the cost is 599$ plus shipping. is this a good price? i don't know much about repro's it just looks so sharp. it has speedometer,odemeter,clock,tank with horn,light on front ect. i can show the website address if it helps anyone out. i just don't want to spend my money on that pretty bike if it's a waste/ thanks! tiffini |
| Tiffani, That's a pretty good price for that bike. It was going for a lot more money when it first came out, and it was pretty much worth that, also. There's a write-up on it at: http://www.thecabe.com/directory/archives/65/myclassic.html I think you'd be very happy with it. |

| I've recently obtained a Mobylette, Mfgr'd by Motobecane. Age of bike circa 1970. Would someone be familiar with this type of bike? What I'm asking is has anyone reconditioned these old bikes and if they have, what would your asssessment be? Is it worth it? I'd like to obtain the address of Motobecane in France. I've searched the net, but I've reached a dead end. Please let me know. Thanks |
| I have a 1978 AMF roadmaster. It is in great shape but i cant get it runing. If any one knows were i can get a wiring diagram i would really aperciate it. Thanks |
| I ALSO HAVE AN AMF ROADMASTER-78 1-HP MCCULLOCH 49CC MOD#400612D LOOKING To Find Out How to make it fire ? Pictures.Specs Welcome |
| The MacCulloch engines have magneto ignition. They should fire anytime they spin. They do have kill switches which will ground the spark when engaged. Aside from that, there is no real wiring, other than the lead to the spark plug. To test for spark, take the spark lead off, ground a screwdriver on the engine block and hold it slightly into the hood of the spark lead, close to the center contact. Then rotate the crankshaft in a counter-clockwise direction. If the magneto is working, there will be a spark between the screwdriver and the contact. One of those neon test lights will work, also. You can also unscrew the plug, clip on the plug lead, rest the plug on the block, and spin the shaft to see sparks in the gap. |
| I also have an AMF Roadmaster. Don't know much about it. I have a new ignition module for the engine. Would like to sell complete bike and parts, contact me |
| I have a complete 1930 Simplex motorized bicycle minus the motor and am interested in selling it. Anyone have any idea of the value or interest in buying, please contact me. Steve |
| An excellent example of a kustomized Simplex fitted with a Honda engine may be seen at http://bikerodnkustom.homestead.com/gallery29.html It's by Hal Paquin. |

| Hi I just got a motorized bicycle from a friend who had it in his basement it says travis bike motor on the engine and hartford on the bicycle frame can anyone help me find out what year it was made and if there is any info avbout it any help would be appreciated thanks Brad |
| Travis bike motors were very popular in the early 50's. I had one as a teen-ager in 1953. Bought it used for $30. Used it 2 yrs and sold it for $35. Put a lot of miles on it, but had to have it worked on 4/5 times. I believe Travis went out of business in early 60's. Enjoy yours! |
| Looking for information concerning "Chicken Power" engine produced by O and R Engines Inc., Los Angeles, California. Does this company still exist? Am trying to rebuild the engine on old bike I purchased. |
| Phil, I think this one is another of the model airplane engine applications, similar to Cox's. I imagine that O&R is still in existence. Check one of the Flying Model Aircraft-type magazines and look in the advertiser index. If still around, they probably still have info and parts. |
| Hi All, I am looking for 4 front Sturmey Archer Drum hubs if anyone has any for sale for the early period. I have three bikes that are european and require the hubs for these as they never had front brakes at all. Any shape is acceptable. |
| Hi Kids! Been out of for awhile, but with a stroke of good fortune and timing; I picked up a bike that had the nearly-impossible-to-find Fork I was searching for. I picked up an early fifties (guessing) Huffman Thunderbolt girls bike. For under 20.00 I rode it out of the store. So I now have wheels, tubes, looooong steer tube fork, fenders, pedals and neck for my 39-ish Elgin Twin bar frame (the truss rods will fit perfectly on my 57 Huffy Model# 2650 Customliner Deluxe). I already had salvaged the chainring, guard, and chain from a midweight Colson-Evans; and had the "fireball" tires from Dyno's Kustom Kruiser series. and a rear rack that was bent three ways to sunday 'till I straightened it It will sport a three value black paint job, a Bike-Bug motor (with resin skill shift knob), and a few other Kustom goodies. Don't when it will be done but i'm getting there as I find what I need! I call it 'The Phantasm'. Sorry for the long post but I'm fairly excited about this turn of events. Keep the tire side down, Rif |
| I had someone give me what looks like a reproduction Roadmaster prewar bike. 28 x 1 1/4 tube type tires, Roadmaster made in India head badge and rear fender badge, rod activated brakes, full cover chainguard, spring assisted rear drop stand, free wheel rear hub, Roadmaster decals, handpainted pinstriping like the old days, prewar type of leather racing seat, road bike type of frame. Hopefully I can post a pic or two soon. Thanks! |
| Recently found an old motorized bicycle, tall front tire, about 12" back tire. It was made by the saginaw product corp. Spring in seat made of rubber, belt pulley on left side.??? anybody have info? jim fuller saf@bardstown.com |
