3 for Free - "Lowrider Collection" Bare Bones & 2 Giants

[blacksheep]

Picked up these three today for free. 8)

Little 16" pink Giant for my 3-year old daughter. In great shape aside from the surface rust on the wheels. She thinks it's awesome even with the rust. :wink:

Giant GFR 20" bmx in basically new condition for my 11-year old daughter. I can't believe someone didn't want this bike.

And then one for Dad. At first glance I thought it was a Schwinn because of the headbadge. Upon closer inspection I find out it's a "Lowrider Collection". Never heard of this brand. Did a Google search and only found them at Spooky Tooth Cycles in Bisbee, AZ. Looks like it's the Bare Bones model that has had some changes. Tires, seat, pedals, and the funky sprocket look to be different than what's pictured on the website. Anyone heard of this brand before?

This bike rides so nice and smooth. I just plan on working it over with steel wool and leaving it as is.

Nice! I find that after I work chrome over w/steel wool a good once over w/never dull wadding polish is real good maintenance. Waxing it once a year can't hurt either. Your kids are going to love the Giants as well,I picked up a Simplex Cruiser about 4 years ago for a c-note. Been one of my faves ever since,very lightweight and well built! Later & PEACE!!! :wink:

I don't know what the deal with the headbadge is, but this is no lowrider. :lol:

Thanks for the tips. I'll have to find that stuff and give it a try. 8)

Thanks! It was pretty exciting to find all three at the same time. I left behind one of those half-bike things that clamps on to the seatpost so one of the kids can ride behind. It was a Schwinn and in good shape. :|

Not only free, but in perfect working order! The only thing any of them needed was a cleaning. 8) That chrome bike is turning out beautiful! I'll have to start a post over in the gallery soon.

That cat is one of our three. Some guys found a litter of day-old kittens where my wife works while they were mowing the field behind the place. Almost chopped 'em up. Mom cat had abandoned and so we brought them home and bottle fed them. Lost two, but the remaining three are now part of the family. 8)
