Gold mine of antique bikes

Go to the Cabe. That forum deals with old bikes. They can generally let you know a price range on most any old bike.

Great fun with great people I tried to get around and meet more bike people but the threat of rain chased me home. I haven't always been a wimp. I passed out about 30 free, cartoon shirts. I was going to circulate around the bike people with shirts (who didn't come to me) but the rain did me...

I found some interesting information on the Bicycle History web site: https://bikehistory.org/bikes/spitfire/

Thanks Cisco, that's great info. I appreciate it, will help me on my search for vintage spitfires.

Well I bought these 2 old bikes about 30minutes ago, for $30, I think I did all right, the boys bike is a rollfast but unsure on year, the girls bike is a roadmaster I believe, it might get cut up & built into something cool.

I I'd cut and raise the top tube

I stand corrected. The girls bike is a firestone pilot, I'll cut the top tube out of it & make a guys bike out of it. The boys bike is a odd duck as its got 22" rims on it.

22? I have never heard of a 22" rim on a bicycle. How cool!!!

 

[DieselTech]

It's got deuce deuces some dubs!!!

Where the heck would you find tires for that?
