DC FINDS

Cleaned up the tandem today and got it ready to sell. It had a sweet brass head badge hiding under an old repaint, polished it up for some bling. The wife and I took it for a quick spin to see how the tandem life feels. Was fun!

1963 Schwinn Varsity I picked up for the fellow that bought the 48 Schwinn from me, I am shipping this out to Montreal for him

2007 Rocky Mountain Switch SE Tartan, sold it within a couple hours of being listed to a guy that wanted to use the Mavic wheels on another bike.

Trek Antelope 820

Giant Iguana SE

Trek Classic Cruiser, I had one exactly the same as this last year. It was my first cruiser, I sold it to fund another bike at the time. I am going to keep this one, already started tinkering with it.

Wow, you are coming up with gold over there. That Rocky is a BEAST!!! There are a few nice parts on there, that Hussfelt crank for example. I guess it's too late to ask you for a close up of the stem, so I'll move on... Trek looks killer, like the paint job a lot! Congrats on all the sweet scores.

Thanks Matti, I've been finding lots of cool stuff. I am always hustling lol.

Here's a pic of the stem, RaceFace Diabolus.

Looks like it matches the headset too. That's a really rad piece

 

[dcoultis]

Yeah the headset matches, the guy I sold the bike to builds early 2000's down hill bikes. He was excited for the stem.

Electra womens 3 speed, was pretty rough when I got it. Lots of polishing the frame to remove scuffs.

Electra Hollywood with springer front end.

Drove out to Lacombe this morning to pick up this Electra custom for myself, it was about a 350km round trip. I sold my black cruiser 1 yesterday to fund it and stripped all of my accessories off that bike to swap on. Its almost like new, the previous owner had health issues and couldn't ride anymore and said he only took it on 3 rides. It has a Sram I-3 3 speed hub.

How it looks now with all my stuff swapped on.

If that last Raleigh is Tange steel with a made in Canada sticker, it probably was made at a factory that used to operate just down the highway from here. Very cool to see one

It sure does have a Tange frame that was made in Canada. That's cool it was close to you!
