    Almost a flea market find...

    So I get a call this morning from my father-in-law saying that he's looking at a bike similar to what I have. He says that it's a Dyno and has a springer front fork. He proceeds to tell me that it's in very nice condition and complete. Then he tells me that they guy wants $75 for it. As soon...

    A find, not yet aquired

    I paid $140 for this repro, which has bondo all over the fenders. An original for $250, I'd buy it.

    Help Shelby bike?

    Not sure on the price or value, but it looks like a decent and solid bike. Depending on how much work he needs done, I'd trade it. Can't you discount your own personal labor rate??? :D

    Long trip

    San Jose has a joke for public transportation, too. One of the issues is that the city is spread out and not as condensed as SF. SF has a much better public transportation system.

    Long trip

    So I posted the Nirve Kilroy that I have for sale on Craigslist yesterday evening. Around 11:30pm, I get an email from a gentleman asking if the bike is still available. I respond to him this morning and we conversate a few times over email. He tells me that he's from San Francisco and will...

    Finally a Monark... Almost done.. New photos 3/29

    ...but a women's frame. Nonetheless, my first bike with an actual springer front fork. Nice patina and it should clean up nicely. Found it on CL. Asking price was $100. It was on for over a week and was still available when I contacted the seller. Went today and bought for half the...

    i found these...

    That's a cheap price for both bikes. If the bikes were here in CA, the price would be doubled.

    Trouble finding tries. Help!

    Yes, you're right. I just checked the size on the sidewall.

    Trouble finding tries. Help!

    I bought the 26x1 3/8 for my wife's Schwinn S-7 rims at the LBS. They have a street tread on them. I think paid something like $14 each. I believe that they're Kenda's.

    Trek "Classic" Cruiser

    Nice find and an even nicer buy. That bike is easily worth $100 just in parts.

    Pre-War Hawthorne Trike

    Those flames are COOL!!! What wheels/tires are you running on your trike? I have a Huffy trike with skinny wheels/tires that I want to replace, but not sure what the replacement size should be. Thanks.

    Huffy Custom Royal

    Got the bike like this from Tonka a few days ago. Set aside a few hours today and this is what happened. I added white grips and pedals (received from another member on here) to match the white lines on the bike and a BELL gold chain to also highlight the gold colors on the bike. Not...

    Oiling Schwinn rear hub

    I bit the bullet and took it to an old-timer LBS. Charged me only $25 to rebuild the rear hub. For that price, I also took him another bike to get the rear hub rebuilt. That bike also had some issue with the neck bearings. Fixed both bikes for $60. Now both stop better than when new...

    The economy must be good in Oregon

    Oregon must be trying to get their currency value up to California's standards. :mrgreen: I wonder what the price would be in California dollars???? :wink:

    Are these bikes worth the asking price?

    I just looked at the Silver King. I didn't spend too much time looking at it because it is a 24". It appears to be complete with lots of surface rust. Also has a significantly damaged bottom of the front fender. At this point, to me, the bike is worth $150 max. If it was a 26", then I'd...
