FS: Lots of old bike frames! Cruiser/balloon tire style frames, etc...

[danger!]

Ok, time to clear out some space in the garage, I have a lot of old frames, some somewhat complete bikes, and some misc. parts. Most of this os old "cruiser" style frames, balloontire bike stuff. These are perfect project basis for bar bikes, derby bikes, or cool resto-customs. Buid them up with new BMX parts and rip! Please post or email with interest, and I'll send a list of what I have that may fit your needs.

Examples of what can be done here(not my site):

I will post pics in the next few days.

Thanks,

Some pics of what you have would be great. I've got an old Rollfast that I'm rebuilding and I'll be looking for a new seat and a couple of other things, possibly fenders.

[danger!]

I'm gonna try to get some pics tonight. I don't have much for seats, but I have a good sized pile of fenders...:D

Wish list:
Cruiser frame with curved tubes.
29" wheels
Singlespeed or 3 speed Rohloff Hub.
Fenders
Rear Panniers

Yes, I have upwards of 70 cruiser frames with curved tubes. Some are at my friend's farm in Osceola, so they may be there till spring, but I have quite a few at my house. Let me know what you are looking to spend on one, and I can post some pics of frames in that price range. Schwinns command the most $$, but I have a lot of other brand frames that would be cheaper.

Hubs: I have a couple of Bendix coaster brake hubs in varying spoke counts-I'll have to dig those out.

Fenders: I have a pile of fenders, some are really rough, but some are useable. I have no idea how to ID what brand bike they came off of, so it's sort of a test-fit and go situation there.

I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks,
Dan

Some pics of the initial findings in the garage. Let me know if anything in particular interests you, and I'll give you more info.

Thanks!

First one is a Columbia Sterling, probably late 50s.

This one is a Hawthorne twin tube, mid to late 50s.

[danger!]

This is a late 50s, early 60s Murray cantilever style, with tabs on the headtube for a half tank.

[danger!]

This is either a Rollfast, Hawthorne or American flyer twin tube, probably same vintage as the red Hawthorne. It is pretty much identical to it.

[danger!]

Unknown make prewar 24"(I think) this one would be a bit more $$ that the reat, it's a bit more rare.

[danger!]

Cantilever style Schwinn cruiser frames & forks, various vintages, have 2 available right now. The green one is not for sale, just posting this pic for reference.

[danger!]

Schwinn DX style balloon tire frames & forks, 2 available. Black one here not for sale, but red one behind it is. Little more $$ for these...

[danger!]

For the ladies...Monark Silver King all aluminum prewar framesets, 2 available.

[danger!]

For the kids...or big kids...Kool Hawthorne muscle bike frame 20".

[danger!]

For the choppers...Murray/Sears 20" musclebike frame, this one has been repaired in a very "frontier welding" type of way. Use this as a basis for that Kool custom!

[danger!]

For the little kids...Cool old roadmaster kids bike, completely dissassembles by unbolting!

[danger!]

Last one for now I think...1979 Schwinn Stingray II I have the sissy bar and pedals, just needs some cleaning up!

[danger!]

Oh yeah, fenders...come and dig through the pile!
