Texas water!!! 
Thought I would just keep a running tab of my finds.
Next up is a Schwinn Collegiate, August 1974.
Tires are toast but miraculously still hold air. Has cable and bracket but speedometer is missing.
Made a package deal for two bikes.
Second is this RANDOR.
Not much info on this one, but it was cheap. Lugged frame. Doesn't look that old, but has cottered cranks. Really?

Drove too far and paid too much, but I dig it anyway.
Should clean up nicely. Love those.
The bike had been up on CL for three days before I saw it. The lady that had it said that she had gotten a bunch of calls from guys trying to lowball her. I actually think I paid a reasonable price. It was missing the front wheel, but I have one with the same pinstripe already.

OH well , nice find anyway.
Love the graphics on that Higgins !
Exhaust pipes are always Cool!
I rescued someone's yard art today. First is a Western Flyer, I would guess around 1960. Has a Red Band hub. Everything still spins and turns, and the tires still hold air.
Next is a ladies Murray Mercury. Will be a pile of parts soon.
Somebody took this one off of too many sweet jumps.

I don't think that it will take much to get this one rolling.
Got this from the family of the original owner. I have the door to the tank as well as the key to the locking fork(broken off). Does have a chain but I need a master link. Missing kick stand, chain guard, grips and the lever/cable for the front brake.
