Breaks my heart but I'm between jobs and forced to sell off some of my stuff. I've got a Dyno Moto Glide that rides and shifts good. One of the original wheels broke so I had a set of bomb-proof rims laced up using the nexus hubs. I also rode the seat to death and replaced it with a brooks...

Re: Josie's Skate-Trike
It's a SIGMA SD-14 and 50mm lens. The camera uses a different sensor technology and it's pictures have a different look about them. I also like the prime lenses. They're almost always sharper than zooms. I guess I'm an odd-ball when it comes to bikes and cameras...
Picked up this tough little trike at Goodwill for $5.00
The tires are all flat
The headset is bone dry and it's got some rust

My father in law is an old hot-rodder and retired pipe-fitter so he...
