    My barnyard pick! Rusty Gold! Monarks and more!

    As is the five bar: The ghastly West Coast Choppers (not Jesse James) lime green bike gave up its wheels set and fork for this; the rest came from an 1970s exercise bike.

    thieves =weasels

    in my continuing quest for local tubes, I went to a different chain that happened to carry tubes as well. They had a bunch, but some didn't feel right... some boxes had tubes in them, but they were obviously "preowned".. one was rather light, and I assume had a 12 or 16" tube instead of a 26"...

    Unwritten rules for thrift stores selling bikes

    (at least in my county): 1) You must always have a boy's Spiderman bike in stock at any given time. 2) completely ignore the fact that tires are falling off the wheels; the chain is rusted and won't turn, and the hand brakes don't stop the bike. 3) use online prices to determine your own...

    Coulda, Woulda...but Shoulda? - Goodyear Hwy. Patrol 24"

    yep. You could use the same pic and wording from the original ad, and ask $150 without lifting a wrench. In my hood, I'd put a price tag of $200 FIRM, and I would get it within a month.
