I have some display racks coming so I can set it up similar to a store front. Last Edited By: RailRider 03/13/12 17:22:07. Edited 7 times.

I have a slight plan going to add a display case on one side of my shop where there are no bikes yet. I am going to peg board the wall behind the counter and load it with Bicycle goodies. Then I want a couple smaller (Chip Type) racks on the display case with pads and another with lever covers and so on. Looking for grips, and other Huffy(red/white/black) labeled stuff.

Too bad he doesn't have some "REAL" stripped pads around.
RailRider	Picked this glass case up today on Craigs List for $150.	#14	[-]

The store shut down in the late 70's and the guy took all the inventory home including cabinets and store display items. Its around six foot wide. Still has the lighting and all in working order.

Also, there was a complete set of reflectors - most of these work on the Sears Free Spirit choppers. See pics. Last Edited By: oneadamtwelve 02/19/12 22:20:08. Edited 1 times.

Another idea is if you find some sissy bars they fit do a bundle. Everywhere I have posted I have great response so I will direct them to your auctions.
