Fixing the oldies but goodies

I just recently got a couple of antique bikes that i'm trying to fix up and resell.

the first one i really like:

This is a Sears and Roebuck 5 speed women's frame

27 x 1 1/4

i love this chain guard, such a vintage look, well i guess it is.

Almost everything is original to the bike.  I had to change the rear derailleur, shifter and cable.  The rear derailleur had one of the cogs destroyed, and i couldn't change the cog, the bolt was too stiff to undo.  I had to also replace the rear tire and tube, both of these bike sat in a shed for thirty or so years like this.  in my opinion they are in beautiful condition.

The other bike needs a little bit more help:

this is a 1960's Huffy 3 speed men's framed bike.

26 x 1 3/8s

the rear hub needs a bit of help, i looked into the hub, and part of the pin had broken off inside.  I need to open it up one of these days and clean it out.  It won't take too much to do that though.  it's kind of fun to open them up and see what they have been through, whether they have been abused or not.  Most of the hubs i've opened up are pretty clean, but i have had one that i was able to get running, but it was on the line between needing to be replaced and barely fixable.  I have a few more that are sort of walmart mtn bikes that need to be fixed up, when i have them running, i'll tel you about them.

Keep on Biking....
