Did you know bicycles can actually be ridden in street clothes? How much is your bicycle worth? What is the history of your bike?

MY SCHWINN SPITFIRE. PURCHASED IT IN JUNE 1979 FROM WESTMINSTER BIKE SHOP ON BEACH BLVD. SERIAL NUMBER INDICATES A DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF APRIL 1979. I RESTORED IT A COUPLE YEARS AGO SO I COULD RIDE IT AGAIN. NEW WHEELS AND TIRES. NEW BRACKET BEARINGS AND CUPS. NEW CRANK AND SPROCKET WITH CHAIN. NEW PEDALS AND SADDLE. RIDES JUST LIKE OLD TIMES. THE ONLY SOUND IT MAKES IS FROM THE TIRES ON THE PAVEMENT. I STILL HAVE THE OLD OWNERS MANUAL TOO. KEVIN ALDRICH BUENA PARK, CA

IVERSON ROADRUNNER....(NOT SURE IF IT~S LATE 60~S OR AN EARLY 70~S MODEL?). FROM WHAT I~VE READ, THE HANDLEBARS AND CHAINGUARD WERE DESIGNED BY FAMED CUSTOM CAR DESIGNER GEORGE BARRIS FOR IVERSON.....POSSIBLY HE MAY HAVE DESIGNED THE ENTIRE BICYCLE ITSELF?? BUT DON~T KNOW FOR SURE. IRONICALLY I PURCHASED THIS WITHOUT A DIME IN MY POCKET, AS I WAS A MAIL CARRIER DELIVERING THE MAIL AND IT CAUGHT MY EYE AT A LOCAL YARD SALE. I HAD A HUFFY DRAGSTER GT AS A KID AND THIS REMINDED ME OF IT BEING A SIMILAR COLOR GREEN. I ASKED THE SELLER AND TOLD HIM THAT IT REMINDED ME OF ONE I HAD AS A KID. THIS ONE OF COURSE IS A GIRLS BIKE THAT HIS DAUGHTER HAD. THE SELLER LET ME COME BACK TO PAY FOR IT LATER THAT NIGHT AFTER I FINISHED DELIVERING THE MAIL. IT WAS A DEAL OF THE CENTURY AS I BOUGHT IT FOR $10.00 ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL....OR IF ANYONE HAD ANY PHOTOS OF THE HUFFY DRAGSTER GT, THEN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!! ALL I HAVE IS A PICTURE FROM AN OLD CATALOG. THANKS!! -MARTY (MARTIN DEAN) MARTYD @TRIAD .RR .COM

I JUST PICKED UP THIS HARTFORD AND KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT IT. THE HEAD BADGE READS "HARTFORD WESTFIELD MFG.CO. WESTFIELD,MASS.U.S.A." WITH A PICTURE OF AN ELK IN THE FOREST IN THE MIDDLE. UNDER THE CRANK IT READS " D 5 2 7 (A 2 SIDEWAYS) 0 4 ". IT~S SUPPOSED TO HAVE TENSIONER SCREWS IN THE REAR. THE FRONT SPROKET IS A 26 TOOTH SPROKET (SKIP TOOTH). IT USES A "PULL-THROUGH" TYPE FRONT HUB (LIKE A MOTORCYCLE HUB). I BELIEVE IT IS IN THE 1890~S - 1920~S...?

AFTER MANY HOURS OF WEB SURFING I HAVE FIGURED OUT WHAT I HAVE HERE.. A RALEIGH BICYCLE THAT WAS MADE FOR EATONS CANADA AND BADGED AS A GLIDER. IT HAS RUBBER BLOCK PEDALS, A BROOKS SEAT AND A WILLIAMS CRANK, WITH THE HELP OF A FEW VINTAGE BIKE WEBSITES I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE BIKE BUILD DATE TO BE 1960 BASED ON THE ZA STAMP ON THE CHAINWHEEL, I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT A RIDEABLE BIKE AGAIN, INCLUDING FINDING THE RIGHT STURMEY ARCHER 3 SPEED REAR HUB. I ALSO HAVE THE REAR FENDER AND THE CHAIN GUARD WHICH ARE IN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION. IF ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAS ONE OF THESE I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU, CONTACT ME AT JAMESWEARLE @ GMAIL.COM
