Jude's finds

Put gums on the ross and sell it to a hipster college student

 

[rrtbike]

Yellow tires for the yellow bike!
And maybe loose the fenders...

That would last 2 about seconds on Boston Craiglist

[Jude Ephesus]

Meh; $25

Couldn’t say no.

My wife has a Raleigh hybrid with a broken suspension seat post; this will fix it!!!!

I’m going to try to put the 700c wheels on my Schwinn Collegiate.

Maybe the handlebars too if I can get them to fit.

Will try to sell the frame, fork and components to recoup my $25.

 

[horsefarmer]

Sweet looking bike/frame.

 

[RustyGold]

I like the triple triangle GT frames... good candidate for ad-hoc bmx cruiser builds.

 

[Jude Ephesus]

It has the chromoly frame... Sort of cool.

I took it for a quick spin a little bit ago.

It’s super light compared to my POS trek 3900. Lol

It definitely has some wear on it, but someone should be able to bring some life into this thing.

A lot there for $25!

Jeez Jude, that's cold hearted. It just needs a little love. Did you ever desire a gravel bike? Or Monster-Cross?

Or a winter bike, or a gentleman's tourer, or... Haha, I'd actually probably have to sell it too, picked up two new ones today, running outta space in the garage! You should be able to recoup your cost pretty easily, with project season coming up here in the north

I hear ya! The bike is pretty cool.

I’ve been looking for a cheap women’s hybrid to use for parts to hop up my collegiate.... just wanted some cheap, straight, LIGHT wheels.

Found this thing instead! I think it’ll fit the bil.... maybe someone on Craigslist will build the thing out.

 

[rrtbike]

That looks too good to part out honestly.

 

[Jude Ephesus]

meh; for $50 a bike, what the hey.

I’ll be busy this spring

 

[wheelbender6]

The tanks on the boys bike are probably worth more than the you paid for the entire bikes.
The forks on the ladies bikes are valuable too.
What a score!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Good scores, Jude! Should be well positioned for the summer build off!

 

[horsefarmer]

Cool bikes. What is the gold one in the last pic?

Thanks!

Super happy with the score... I had to drive a few hours round trip to get them, I also had to take them all.

As the girls bikes are usually tough to sell, I’m feeling pretty good about the buy.

 

[Jude Ephesus]

Thanks!

The gold bike is a univega.

It was sort of trashed. Missing handlebars, the seat looks like it was eaten by a rodent. Has some broken cables.

On the bright side, the wheels were PERFECT and a the crank, chainring and brake components were all in great shape.

So, I’ll either have to dump a few bucks into it or have some fantastic spare parts.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Univega is one of those weird brands with cult following, similar to miyata. Decent frames, some higher end components, sometimes chromo. However, I don't know their road stuff...

 

[horsefarmer]

My Fuji looks like it's similar in color to your Univega .

I say throw some parts at it...

That’s a super cool bike! I think I’ll have to bring it back to life!
