Found a lot of bikes on CL, went and picked them up today. It was pouring when I got home but I snapped a couple of pics, I will get better ones when its nice out again.

Got a few good rat bikes, a Monark, a Murray, and an unknown CWC skiptooth. About 5 road bikes, 5 or so chicago Schwinns. a few mountain bikes and the rest is pacific junk that I'll flip to get my $$ back.

The rims on the pink/white schwinn look almost new, and there original. Its the nicest pair ive ever seen.



Now my dilemma is which one to build for my girlfriend. the all blue cwc has the gothic fenders that match my Hiawatha, and the rack on the murray is the same one im putting on my Hiawtha as well. And this frame is a little bigger than the other one and shes tall. But I have a star sprocket on the way that I really want to use but I want to keep the skiptooth on the blue bike. The Murray tanker is cool and I wouldnt mind customizing that one but I think its a middleweight. I have less than 3 weeks to finish the bike for her bday, guess I better decide quick!
 
wow! thats a huge score :shock:
i know its kinda silly but why not let her pick which one she wants along with the color(s)? just keep the build secret until its finished and waiting for her on her b.day

I want it to be a complete suprise, she has no idea i even started on it yet. I looked at the Murray tanker again and its a ballooner with middleweight tires so I'm going to build that one instead. She already told me the colors a few months ago, Its going to be black/pink/white and I'm going to do a star design on the tank and the fenders, she doenst know about that, plus I have a star sprocket on the way to match.

Looks like a lot of quality in the mix too!
Congrats......

Yeah theres a few road bikes, nothing special, but quick sellers in my area. I'll definitely make my money back plus some.
 
:shock: wow... i've had somw like 16 maybe 18 bike score at a time or two back in the day, but thirty. my wife would probably file a missing persons on me if i had 30 bikes to "tinker" on (as she calls it :roll: ). really like the baby blue in the forground. im at my shop in dunsmuir, really should start on my wife's hawthorne now that i think of it...
