DC FINDS

Picked up this Electra Townie 21 speed last night, it was filthy when I got it. Gave it a good detail and removed the damaged fenders. Sold it in the first couple hours of being listed.

 

[dcoultis]

Today's find, I picked up an Electra Super Deluxe 3 speed. Had a nice lady's Brooks B18, Brooks grips, Electra basket, Electra rack, Electra white walls, cup holder and Electra bell I stole off it. Had to pay up for this one but the Electra rack is no longer available in womens frame sizing. That rack will go on my wife's bike.

All of the parts I robbed below.

 

[dcoultis]

I sold the Brooks grips and seat to a guy in Ontario this morning, packed them up and dropped them off at the post office. Sold the bike to a lady already as well this afternoon.

1948 Schwinn Chicago B307 Hollywood with optional springer front end and cyclock. Bought it from the original owners son.

 

[dcoultis]

1946 CCM Redbird, bought this with the Schwinn as a package deal.

 

[dcoultis]

Finished cleaning up the Schwinn. Had to get a few spokes made and true the front wheel. Installed some Electra white walls to get it rideable again.

 

[dcoultis]

Sold the Schwinn, it's going out east to Montreal to its new home.

1964 CCM Imperial tandem I picked up a couple days ago.

1987 Kuwahara Shasta I picked up last weekend. Has a Japanese Ishiwata cromo frame and Tange cromo fork. Some nice Shimano deore components. It's already going to a new home tomorrow.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

2 beauties right there... The kuwahara looks brand new!

 

[Captain Awesome]

The Captain loves all things Kuwahara

 

[Karate Chicken Industries]

The kuwahara looks brand new!

Indoor Queen, as opposed to a Garage Queen

That thing is a Museum Piece

 

[dcoultis]

The Kuwahara was a wedding gift to the original owner I bought it from when new. Her and her husband had Shasta's, I was dropping off a Trek cruiser she bought from me and she asked if i wanted to buy her old bike. She was a tall women hence the large 22inch frame. It's been hanging in her garage for its whole life with minimal mileage.

All the bikes I buy go through a wash, intricate detail, and polishing to bring them back to former glory. It was actually filthy when I picked it up but the oil/grease/dirt had preserved the bike.

 

[dcoultis]

This is her husband's Shasta, I fixed the front brakes and detailed it for him as part of the deal. It wasnt for sale unfortunately but I made friends with a new customer for future work.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

The first real mountain bike I rode was a kuwahara. I can't remember the model, but a girl at the campsite let me try it out, and I will never forget that instant connection. I became a mountain biker in that moment. Thanks for the reminder, DC

*Cool looking pop up too!

 

[dcoultis]

Thanks Matti, the pop up I fixed up a couple years ago. Did an exterior make over on it. It's a 1993 Scamper, too bad that gas is so expensive right now, no camping this summer for us. We just bought our first house a couple months ago so we're trying to recover from that change. I need to flip more bikes lol!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I'm lucky, there is a good site fifteen kilometers from here, I'm in the edge of wilderness lol. Not so lucky, trailer is getting new tires this weekend. But it'll be ready for the first trip in a couple of weeks

 

[dcoultis]

That's sweet you have a spot not far away! Our closest spot is about 1.5 hours away that we go to.

I had to do tires on mine as well, I got another set of wheels with tires and kept the garbage ones as my storage wheels. Keeps the good ones from sitting with weight on them and getting uv. Hopefully helps them last a lil longer.

Picked up this Electra for 25 bucks earlier this week. It came with a mtb seat and bar. Was filthy and rusty but cleaned up real nice. It came with the original seat which was like new, was very happy with this find!
