My son lives in SJB and likes bikes
[He's 2X USA Cycling Masters National Champion.]

Sells (mostly high end current) bike stuff on ebay.

 

My recent acquisition- 1950 Mercury Aero- I tend to follow the Mercury line, only because I have the real deal '50.
I don't know what get's better mileage= the bikes, or the car! LOL

 

... I go by Rollo on the Cabe ...

 

I am 68avenger5 on the CABE

 

Was on a lot when I cleaned up a hoarder site and had 200 bikes to get rid of. Sold off the pre-war stuff there. Still have 56 50's vintage bikes left. I'll have to start selling them. Great site to get information and the serious collectors will pay for good items.

Not real old but it's a 1946 Columbia with a 1946 Whizzer kit on it. Not pretty but it runs.

Love muscle bike...mostly b/c they're from my era...and a great way to get around at swap meets and car events. Here's a couple of mine.

71 Raleigh Chopper

 

All original war model ( no chrome) 40s Elgin

 

Here is my newest to me old bike. 1881 Columbia Standard. Need to replace a few spokes and put new tires on it and she'll be ready for a test run.

Have had this for over 20 years now. 1889 Columbia Light roadster. Previous caretaker made some mods so it would be a reliable rider.

 

Going to toss this on hoping bicycle guys might know tricycles. Just picked it up. AMF double step. I can’t find a comparable online. Badge indicates early/ mid 60’s although I have not seen the fender design in pics. Any ideas?

 

Just had a post in
ANTIQUATED for sale deleted and the reason was no bikes on the H.A.M.B. anybody heard of this. Just is this something new. Pic of my 1937 Pope

 

1885 Columbia.

 

I guess I get why they say "no bikes". If not, every HD Panhead, Knucklehead, Honda 50, Cushman, X6 Hustler, etc would be listed for sale. At least this way they can be consistent.

Why doesn't somebody wise in the ways of old bicycles post all the appropriate bicycle sites where we can look for old bike stuff for sale.

 

I've had my thread of my bike cherry pie for about a year dont know if anything changed

I think it applies to "BUY / SELL" ads, Otherwise we would not be reading this.

 

There's too many to list honestly, and it depends what era you're into, as well as what style. Ebay is a great place for parts. I'm a 80/90s BMX and freestyle guy so the BMX museum website has tons of stuff. For old schwinn and like stuff I'd imagine there's a whole other world of sites and forums.

 

Thanks 210 - makes sense.

 

While these two may not be vintage in terms of old, I think they capture the essence of the HAMB website. They were in the lobby of Felt Bicycles, Irvine CA.

 

Turning my Schwinn Speedster into a board track racer. Stage 1 complete.
