Is Jon feeling ok this year?

I wouldn't know...I try not to touch him!

That's not what I hear.

[udallcustombikes]

Oh Boy.... Rent-a-truck! Here comes the goodies!!!!

You and Al I assume ?

Yup, he needed a driver and I was happy to help. I have 5 or 6 complete bikes and Al will probably have as many if not more. Not to mention the countless parts bins in both our shops that we will be bringing.

Thats awesome! I was hoping Al would participate this year. Really cool that you are helping him out.

Dangratsdans Bargain Van is loaded up and ready to go.
The prices are right and the deals can't be beat.
Schwinns, Roadmasters, Evans, B.F. Goodrich, and more. Crusiers, choppers, mountain, light weights and road bikes and parts.
Did I say parts? Yes I did. There will be frames, wheels, pedals, chainguards, fenders, seats, and more.
There will be lots of COOL lights for Rat bikes, and of course those bike tags with your name on them.
BARGAINS, BARGAINS,BARGAINS.
26", 24", 20", and 16".
Did I say there were some BARGAINS.
Some of the deals are so good, that if you touch the bike you just might have to take it home, FREE.
Dangratsdans must be CRAZY, he is selling a pair of his and hers SPACELINERS for NOT $500, NOT $300, NOT even for $100, HE IS CRAZY, he is sell the PAIR for $40. No thats not a miss prnt, thats $40. note: these Spacelincers are in need of a little TLC,.... OK a LOT of TLC.
Where do you find all these BARGAINS, you ask? Look for Dangratsdan in the white van over in his normal spot .... you know..... over by the crapper, the most popular spot at the swapmeet.
SEE YOU THERE!

Funny stuff Dan

I'll have very few parts. Mostly complete bikes. I hate to say what yet because I still don't have it figured out.

I may have already said this but my goal is to empty my storage unit. Today I enlisted the help of my Dad to ride some of the keepers back home. I may have already changed my mind on some of those.





Scrounging for parts

You shouldn't have any trouble moving those out if you price them low like last year. I think I got the best buy last year for sure.

[Ratfink1962]

Dan... that reminds me of the local car dealer commercials

Remember... if you didn't buy your bike from Dan, you probably paid too much!!! Come see Dan for the best deals.... right on the big corner of the crapper and the north end of the parking lot! hahaha

And hey, a his and hers set of Spaceliners for $40..... WOW thats a smokin deal!!!

Randy, if your gonna clean out the storage... your gonna need a bigger garage!

[udallcustombikes]

Sunday will be the last opportunity for someone to save a piece of bicycle history. I am bringing my New Departure Model A hub and if my price isn't met then I will have a new addition to my cut-away collection. Will you be the one to save it?

I figured the hub lobotomy had already been done! I'd love to have it, but don't know what I'd put it on.

[udallcustombikes]

I have really had to fight the urge to hack it. I have a new package of cut-off wheels and a love of cut-away hubs, I just hate to do it without giving it one last chance to ride.
