It starts with "just one" bike...

It starts with "just one" bike...

So I have learned.

I've bought several bikes over the last few months just because I wanted one or two parts off of it. But am hoping I can put the scraps together and unload a few before I add another.

Oh my goodness .

Oh my goodness .

I thought that I might’ve had a problem with my twenty bikes until I saw this.
I haven’t even started yet.

From the pictures alone I can see that I need at least eight of them.
Even if I had the money my truck is not what you would call street legal. Plus I would have to hide them at work because it’s a lot easier to explain to my boss that I have to store ten bicycles there vs my wife catching me. It’s easy to sneak in one since they all look alike to her. This is a big job, it would take months. Plus I already have four bikes at work.

Same guy has aluminum Silver Kings. I had a frame once. This is the same guy who’s selling the barn full of bikes for mostly $30 each.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Guh.

If I was retired...this might justify a spontaneous road trip...but I'm not, so I won't .

It begs the question, if it's the only adult muscle bike ever; what the hell have yall been building? Lies! That'a what. Simply cruisers with banana seats on them.

This is one of those heavy downhill bikes they use for the tourist downhill runs. If I had the space or a way to get one to my island I would get one.

For a $100 each, you could buy them all and do pretty good parting them out. Drum brake wheelsets front and rear....

edit...that would be $200 shipped via bikeflights...

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I ride Worksmans (Worksmen?) trikes at work. The drums are quite powerful. I've wanted a Newsboy frame for a while. I don't see them in chrome very often. I find it strange that some have that bend just ahead of the BB. I like them better without.
How funnyis it that they're made a few hundred miles from here, and I'm lusting after a pile in Honolulu.

 

[RustyGold]

I think I've talked myself out of contacting them...but, then again, myself isn't that trustworthy in these situations and is prone to impulsive, and stupid, actions.

Just have a couple of them shipped to my address, that'll give you more time to make a final decision. I'm glad to help out!

 

[ParkRNDL]

WHAT.

Pretty sure it's the same guy as the last one I posted. Link here in case you're a sucker for punishment.

The same fella has an orange one for sale, as well. I hope no one gets injured during the mad scramble to buy it.

Why the sprocket on the front wheel?
