I got the shaft

[sdframe]

Another Craigslist find. Not sure what I'm gonna do with this. For $50 I couldn't pass it up. It's a 7-speed internal hub, driveshaft GIRLS bike. It has great components, and it's in excellent condition. I don't know if I should tune it up and flip it, or cannibalize it and put the cool parts on an old vintage ballooner. Decisions, decisions.

That's pretty sweet!
I wonder if that is similar to the donor bike that @Blackout used last year?

Since you're undecided, ship it to me.
I know just what to do with it.

Set it up and ride it around first and see how you like the setup, gears and then put it in a frame you love IF you like the shaft drive setup. If not then sell it. Do a review thread or a build thread here. If you sell it, list it here - some buddy will snap it up.

I´d buy it, if I lioved in the U.S. Shipping would be a killer for the deal.

I bought one similar to that a couple of years ago from a friend, intending to make a stretched shaft bike. It's still whole, and hanging in the shop.
