It's been too long

[outskirtscustoms]

It's been too long since my last fresh find then it hits me three bikes in one day!

The first is a light blue 27" Schwinn Sprint 10 speed, really decent shape but a few spots where paint has rubbed off. Since I'm short I'll flip it on craigslist for $50-$75

Not mine but looks like this one

Second is a cool old Mongoose 20", looks to be late 80's early 90's Taiwan made. Decals are missing and it has been painted Pepto pink over the chrome... :roll: Lucky for me whoever painted it didn't prep the surface at all so it comes off with little effort and they took the rims off to paint it. Also it's all original right down to the tires which still hold air!

Third is a green Magna 20" Nice freewheel rims that are not original to it, but the rest will get traded in at the scrapyard or cut up for a new cheater bar.

No pics right now camera batteries are dead. Will try to get some soon.

Oh sure, the old "my camera was dead" story

we demand evidence :!:

Got the pics now! Batteries wouldn't hold a charge anymore so I had to get new ones. Here are the three bikes I got:

Schwinn

'Goose

paint is coming off nicely

Magna and my new daily rider in the background.
You may remember the Magna nightvision that I got with my twisted lowrider on that trade deal but sold it for $20 and bought it back for $10.

Sold the Schwinn today, posted it as it sits and got $40.
Now I don't have to fix the torn grips, true the rims, or oil the brake and gear cables because they stick a bit. Went for a ride and found a all aluminum yard lamp to scrap! Then I bought a moped! It's been a good day! Moped is a 1984 Yamaha Yamahopper! Thinking of Rat Rodding it :mrgreen:

I've been out riding and building them. Fix em and flip em mostly. Still looking for bikes but when one of these stares you in the face for under $100 you grab them QUICK!

Even has keys!!!

Yeah I hope to flip it for some bike fund money or it might become a rat rod itself. I know it'd look sick in satin black with some red and white pinstripe, whitewalls or redline tires, and mod the fenders to full fenders. :mrgreen:

Actually the kid I got it from bought it new and outgrew it, he painted it for his sister because she didn't like the chrome and wanted a pink bike. If the rims and tires were painted too then it'd be a stolen paint job... :lol:
