Hmmm Mystery

[Hsean]

Well the other day at work A co worker asked me if I wanted to buy their bike they used once, I said sure why not and paid them without even knowing anything about it only that it's an adults bike, what can I possibly loose! lol i'll find out tomorow and post pic of what it is

 

[Hsean]

Not many deals like what you got come around here, there are big lots of bicycles though, I may start buying them, they are uncollected bikes from police and around the city

 

[Hsean]

Yeah there would be profit in it for sure.
This Is the bike I got, it's a piece of crap but it didn't cost me much lol

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Not too bad, I like the tires, they'd be perfect for my 26" BMX cruiser I'm building.

 

[Hsean]

Them be 700c tires sadly lol I rode it around, it's actualy a very nice ride

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Darn, I wonder if they make them in 26".....If not I might go with some colored tires and anodized gear. :mrgreen:

 

[Hsean]

Alot of bikes that go to my house don't get flipped, I sort them into two piles, keep/resale and donate to somonje else and make it their problem. lol Most bikes flipped are girl ones if i dont use em for parts, and late 70's mens bikes or doubles of what I already have. I fixed a hopeless Arashi mountain bike today, what a piece of garbage, suprisenly it rides like a dream now lol

From what I've seen Iron Horse is a nice bike. Adjustable angle stem and is that a suspension seat post? Cool parts.

 

[Hsean]

Yeah the seat pole is a suspention
It's got some neat parts, I was gonna pull it apart but it's like new lol. the shifters are a laugh though, i've never seen them like that before

For people with long thumbs with extra joints.

Yeah I miss my old trigger shifters a lever for gear up and one for gear down on each side. Great for trail riding when you can't afford to take many fingers off the bars to change gear.

 

[Hsean]

Thats why they made the crappy Gripshift lol

I chose trigger shift over any other MTB shifter, but look at how these are mounted, instead of your thumb pushing them forward it would have to pull them toward the outside. Awkward.

 

[outskirtscustoms]

That does look awkward. Only thing I don't like about the trigger shifters is rebuilding them. other than that I love them. I don't like the grip shifters with one exception, my Sturmey Archer 3 speed grip shift I just found :mrgreen:

Grip shift bites off road. :|

 

[deorman]

Walmart strikes again.... :lol: :mrgreen:
