Re: Kingfish254's Finds 5/31 Cool Shoemaker's Anvil

Went yardsaling last Saturday for the first time since vacation. Picked up some good stuff.

Just a few days earlier, I decided I needed some strip LEDs for my BO7 bike. Well I found two new sets still in the packaging for only $1 total.

I also picked up some aluminum, some heavy gauge copper, and a canteen for a grand total of $2.
(USED some of the flashing to make my Flame Skirts on Firewing)

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/1 Dahon Mu + Parts

Went to a Friday yard sale at lunch. Found a Dahon Mu frame (complete bike is about $700+) along with a Seatpost, Schwalbe Marathon tire and other parts. I can probably get $150 or more for the frame as is.
(Stripped frame and sold it on ebay)

I also found this cool Advent Suspension handlebar stem

And this wheel. Shimano 9 speed hub with avid disk and Bontrager Ranger rims.
(SOLD Bontrager wheel)

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/1 Dahon Mu + Advent Suspension Stem

Here is the camoflauged Park PCS-10 bike repair stand.

I also bought some more rims and some aluminum from the tall bike artist. The rims are Dahon Kinetix, so they will be going on ebay.
Nice aluminum. Two gauges.

Here are th plastic floor fans that I have that one day may become fender skirts.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/10 Another Anvil + Leather Saddle

I have said it before that I am constantly amazed how often I will find something at a yard sale shortly after my wife or I decide we need something.
I had never even heard of a cobbler's until I saw the one pooroldlu bought. I imediately bought one on ebay. Well I should have waited another week because guess what I bought for $3 Saturday? Another cobbler's anvil.

Also picked up this gang tools, bottle opener, springs, and tea strainer for $2. I think the tea strainer could make a cool taillight. The battery terminal clamp seems like it would be a cool way to mount something to a chainstay.
(USED Bottle Opener as brake arm bracket for Flexy)

Picked up this cocktail shaker for a a buck. It may become the spring cover on FlexLiner 7.

Stopped by Star Bike to drop off my Nexus 7 to be laced and bought this leather saddle from a storage closet they have.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/10 Another Anvil + Leather Saddle

Picked up some odd items yesterday.
Cool copper cheese shaker that will make an awesome taillight.
Small vise ( I have really used this crap out of this odd little vise over the years!!!!)
Some hammered copper plates for the material . Who knows what they will be used for.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/10 Another Anvil + Leather Saddle

Picked up two bags full of Dremel accesories for $10.
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I just use a harbor freight plastic caliper and didn't have one of dem der fancy digital ones.
Well guess what I found at a yard sale for $5
2020 - I still just use my plastic one.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/30 Phillips Manhattans

Had a good yard sale morning. Check out this pair of Phillips (Raleigh) Manhattans that I picked up. Both have SA 3 Speed Generator hubs, front and back lights, bells, tire pump, and really cool seatube decals. The mens bike also has a neat stem mounted rear view mirror and a nice color matching seatbag with original tool kit inside.

I have never seen a lugged cantilever before and wasn't even aware that Raleigh made any cantis during this era. I am guessing late 50s to mid 60s.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/30 Phillips Manhattans

I also picked up this cooler for a future build and got a free Lobster Lovers Beer (9.5%).

Not bad for $2.

7/14 Kenda Cross tires

Picked up these for $3. They should work well on a flip bike, or a Klunker look that is for the city too.
