Rhinebeck Swap 2013

Every year I look forward to the AMCA swaps in my general area.  Attending as many as I can and taking in the sights, this year proved to be just as great as the last.

45" flathead parts haul

Made my way towards the beach recently and ended up taking in more than just the sights...
Original owner acquired most of this 40 years ago. He told me how he immediately rattle canned the frame and tins black to ward of the bad luck of a green bike.

I couldn't resist and had to take the black down just to see what i was missing... stay tuned.






anyone need flathead stuff?

Spring Cleaning

Bates cobra and gorgeous ribbed TT/Desert seat. Both in incredible rider condition. Perfect patina.  For you Brit guys out there, insane condition vintage polished 650 finned side cover. This thing is perfect no names cast other than "TRI 650".  Drop me a line if any of these interest you or need more photos.  parts@squares-beware.com


An excellent example of the Bates TT seat on a chop. Originally intended for swing arm, it's lookin' tuff on this  rigid pan.
