thank you for the right direction

Has to be a troll; it's beyond belief that bike was rescued from a dumpster.

H.M. is "High Manganese" introduced in 1924, and was Reynolds' best quality tubing before 531 manganese-molybdenum was introduced in 1935.

woow Stan! thanks incredible...

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:10 PM

I believe the pump, handlebar grips and fenders are celluloid and pump and grips say Bluemels no weight

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:14 PM

thanks all for your insight

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:16 PM

Strip off all that junk and build a sweet fixie.

Captain Blight 12-15-12 01:38 PM

Dude Fix that rear fenderline, its killing me

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:41 PM

captain, you mean closer to the tire?

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:41 PM

well the suggestions for fixie and keeper are head to head

thinktubes 12-15-12 01:42 PM

You should drill some "speed holes" in it.

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:43 PM

yeah the fender and all the extras bother me too

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:44 PM

am thinking about it

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:47 PM

stopwatch clip says Terry's, and some parts are Miller

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:47 PM

not sure if the parts would bring any money separately

Hakbil 12-15-12 01:48 PM

The handle bar is 16" Bailey drop

Bianchigirll 12-15-12 01:50 PM

Great looking bike. The stopwatch mount is pretty nice, and you don't see them often these days. You found this in a dumpster? So then if you get say $175 plus $50 shipping you make out right? What size is it?

Find someone in your area that needs a bike, that can't afford a bike and give this to them. Would probably make someone very happy.


Pay it forward!

My biggest pet peeve has become seeing ads on CL where the poster says something like, "Great bike to turn into a fixie." So many awesome classic bikes with killer hardware are destroyed this way and it makes me sad!
