| Can someone help me determine a selling price for a mid 60's girls hollywook bike with all original equipment and white wall tires. I'm not a collector, so I would love some advise. I was thinking $80 or so. It is in great condition I do have a pic that I could fwd via email by: 65.173.228.60 |
| On a scale of 1 to 10 a brand new condition being a 10 you might fetch 275.00 to 300.00 a average nice bike in a 6 or 7 range 120.00 a 5 about 85 to 100 and then it drops pretty sharply after that. most Ive seen about 100.00 range. good luck. by: 152.163.100.198 |
| Prices aparently vary from place to place. I've never seen one sell for more than $100, more commonly $5-20 range. by: 138.26.156.139 |
| we recently had this discussion at the nitely meeting after work barley pop at the shop.being from the midwest where most states are young compared to the east coast most people feel things 40 or 50 years old are real old around here and thus seem to fetch more money.as in the older parts of the country the reverse is true.and if you visit europe where nothing is considered old if its les than 500 years old. our gangs theory at least. by: 152.163.100.198 |

| Hi; I have a model 57 with a mechanical 3 speed shifter rod transmission (sliding gear-automotive style)built into the frame at the bottom bracket and have tried also to find out about it. Here's what I've got so far...these bikes were built in frankfort Germany from the 20's till about 1954. Some had the transmision, others not. Many of their bikes had a spoon brake on the front (yes, even the later models) with a coaster brake on the rear, one brand was "Komet". Some (and I suspect it was the earlier models) had an eagle ornament on the front fender tip. Kind of a machine age-third reich sort of style. As far as I can tell,these bikes were never imported, hence their rarity in the states. Type in "a m v c information 2004" in google and that should get you to a website that may help. If I can find out more, I'll let you know. Mike by: 24.12.124.104 |
| I recently purchased a men’s Shelby Traveler. It’s in pieces and looks to be all there except for the wheels and seat. Among the rust you can just make out the original pin striping pattern and colors of a blue and red. The original red (biscuit?)headlight is there. A tank with original Shelby decals and internal horn was included but I’m not sure it is original since it’s in better shape and is green. The frame does have rear wheel adjusters. The original teardrop pattern sprocket is there along with the large chrome rear reflector. Has straight style fender braces. Can anyone help with the following questions? It’s serial number B8 34222. What is the year? What rim style would be correct? Correct paint colors? Should this model have a tank? Thanks, Jim by: 152.163.101.14 |
| I have just bought a 2 speed kickback hub on ebay that seems to be in working order. It is a 40 spoke version. The only markings on it say " Ladie Coaster", and I am curious as to what make it is. The internals look alot like a Sturmey Archer, but that's just a guess. I'd like to find an exploded parts diagram if possible. If anyone can shed any light on this hub, I would greatly appreciate it. by: 69.225.199.197 |
| A friend of mine in New Zeland told me he had bought a Strumey/archer 2 speed KB at a local shop.Only one I'd ever heard of.And he could't find any info on it.---sam by: 69.151.96.99 |

| A new collector friend of mine had shown me his latest find a J.C. Higgins 26in. boy's bike. It has a bee-hive springer, chrome rims and fenders, slight curve to center set of rear fender braces, bracket positioned on top of rear fender for a rear rack(missing). Serial # is on the BB and reads 214 241, tires are 26x2.25, I believe it once had a tank also . Does anyone know what model year of Higgins my friend might own with it's 214 241 serial # ? Thanks in advance! by: 12.34.182.173 |
| The bee-hive was late 40s --early 50s used on the Color Flow models.On the X-53 western flyer model Murray went to a double springer.Check for ColorFlow and X-53 models in data base---sam by: 69.151.96.99 |
| THANKS Sam, I was able to find a similar looking model Higgins in the data base and on other sites. I do believe it is a Color Flow, I was wondering if it's serial #(214 241) held the model year, could be a '51. Thanks for replying, Dan. by: 12.34.182.141 |
| I have a 1950's era Schwinn Fleet, not sure of the exact year. I am looking for decals to replace the FLEET, star design and SCHWINN logos on the chainguard, SCHWINN logos on the tank, and the chevrons on the fork. Any idea where I could get some (if they are even made)? by: 24.211.14.211 |

| i just bought a firestone super cruiser frame and fork. i'm hoping to get a general idea on it's age. the frame and fork are both black and appear to be original paint. the fork also has double springs. on the bottom bracket plate it reads: In all correspondence regarding this article always mention model number: 180 2 9A31l serial number: A1425621 order replacement parts by mail or through any retail store The headbadge is about as long as the headtube, is black and white with silver lettering and has "Firestone Super Cruiser" and "Made in USA" printed on it. is there some method to dating these with the serial numbers? by: 66.125.91.32 |
