| I have a boys 20" bicycle, sting ray type, made by Sears. It is light blue in color. Other than a little rust, it is in good shape. Does anyone know if there is any value to this bicycle? |

| Just picked up a late 60's Huffy Tandem from my neighbor in trade for three links of deer sausage. Nice Trade. Anyway, I want to restore the bike and am looking for any links to helpful hints or access to original parts. Bike is in working condition, though all the chrome is pretty rusted and new paint will be needed. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick - Texas |
| Rick, THREE links of Venison sausage?!? Dude, you got ripped! I'd have gone two at best. LOL Finding "Original" parts for your Huffy is going to be difficult at best, and the ROI for a restoration would be negligble. Your best bet would be to repaint it (if that's what it really needs), perhaps a good bath and polish would make it look nice. My favorite method for resurecting rusty chrome, provided it's not too rusty, is a good rub down with a COPPER pot scrubber (copper is sofetr than chrome and won't scratch it), follow up with a liberal application of a good chrome cleaner/polish then for a 'knock yer socks off' glow finish it up with Never-Dull. If you have parts that are missing or just F.U.B.A.R. then find an adequate replacement... something that will fit, looks good, and is sturdy. You don't want to skimp... especially the brakes. Remember, you're stopping for two! Make friends with the 'old guy' at your local bike shop. Usually, they know what they're talking about and will be most willing to help you reduce the weight of your wallet. :-) Gook luck.. show us some pictures when you're done, 'k? |
| I was given an old Mossberg bicycle. It is goldish in color, has very unusual shifters and it is a 26" tire only( I tried to put 27" on it lol). It also came with a front reflector which matches a poster I saw on ebay for Mossberg bicycles. Does any one know what year it could possibly be or where to go to find it out? Your help would greatly be appreciated. Also in my collection I have a Raleigh Grand Prix 10 speed 27" that is red and black, I believe it is the 1972 model judging by pics I saw on this website. It has two stickers on it thay say "Farmington" and "Smith's Bicycle Dealers", if any one knows where that is please tell me, I believe it to be in England but I want to make sure. |
