*I've got a 'set' of comp IIs for this one. If anyone has a black they would swap for my great condition blue, let me know! I would consider swaping my black for a nice blue too
 
Just picked up this 2005 Redline MX-24 cruiser yesterday - a local Craigslist find... $80 8)

Chromoly, all original, in pretty good shape, should clean up real nice - couldn't pass it up! :mrgreen:

only thing I've found wrong with it so far is the seat rails are bent (heavy rider?)

Currently resurrecting this old guy. It's been around for a long time and my youngest is wanting to ride it now. Not sure if I should keep it original or start updating it with newer parts. Any thoughts?

I'd got through it and let him 'em ride it like it is. That bike is a tank!

It really is a heavy bike. Built well but heavy.
 
Posted some bikes here a while back, but I've gotten' rid of some, and got some new ones to replace the ones that got sold off. Here is my current line up :).

Late 84' (so 85' basically) GT Pro Performer

1985 Diamondback Hotstreak. Found TWO HOUSES up from mine. Dude was using it to keep his shed closed. That was unacceptable to me, so I rescued it.

This is how it looked when it arrived. I used my 2011 Diamondback Joker to bring it home.

1988 Skyway 280 TA

1998 (I think) Mongoose Villon. This bike belonged to a buddy of mine who went missing around Christmas, 2011. His body has yet to be found. What you see if basically how he rode it. I only changed out the tires and handlebar grips to keep it ridable.

2001 (or so) Mongoose Stylist-Pro. Sold at Wal-Mart in the early 2000's. This thing is a TANK.

2005 (or so) Mongoose Gravity Games. Got this from the same kid who had the Skyway.

2011 Diamondback Joker. Fairly heavy but handles and rides very good.

2011-2012 Mongoose Mode-540. This one is my skate park bike. Tires are off of a DK. Original rear rim got caved by me, so it got replaced with a Mongoose Double wall rim. Pedals are Stolen (brand) Thermolites. Handlebars are Odyssey Lumbejacks. I think they are cut an inch though, but still feel great. Bike weighs roughly 25 pounds.

Now, for my PREVIOUSLY owned bikes!...

1979 Schwinn SX-500 Mag Scrambler. Bought it along with a 77' Schwinn Tornado.

1986 Huffy Sigmas. Should have kept one to take out when someone else takes out the Hotstreak...

1994 (Roughly) Huffy Cyclone. This bike was my first real bike as a child. I bought one while out in California, but had to sell it shortly after. It was awesome to own a piece of my Childhood.

1994 GT Interceptor. I LOVED the paint on this bike.

Not sure of the year. Probably mid 90s. Its a Tarantula BMX-2 24". Fairly light and held up to whatever I threw at it.

Ydeah the forks on this one are specialized i think. if it was one of those single blade kastans i could retire!! hahaha but yeah thi turned out out to just be a Kastan with some DK decals on it for some reason. i got the autorized repops in the mail yesterday! time to get this thing naked and clean then come the decals and the pad set! Got some boss bars for it the other night too.
 
I don't see any minis on here; so, here is my sons 83/84 MT Racing Junior Fox. Synchron brakes-something you don't see often on BMX bikes.
