How do you get so lucky?

I guess that fact that I am out there every Saturday morning increases my odds. But this stuff came from 5 different yard sales.
Drill press 20, Drill 5, various package deal with some other stuff at the other sales that the remainder was another 5.

Guess I will be having another Schwinn Exerciser part out in the near future.

EDIT: I just finished breaking this one down for parts and scrap metal.
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/16 Phat Chopper

Found this on CL today. It's a Phat Coach Class Chopper with two foot apes on it.
How do you like the freaky clown picture the guy had posted on CL?
The chrome is in good shape and so is the bike. Pretty cool deal.
(SOLD)

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/16 Phat Chopper

I saw that frame design on a beach cruiser (the over under top and down tubes) cool frame, but with matching size wheels I would have a hard time calling it a chopper, which in my mind is a good thing, more people will buy a cruiser than a chopper.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/18 Exerciser+Trek+Parts+Bolts+Ramshorn

Picked up a new Serfas cruiser seat and new pedals for only $4.
(SOLD pedals for $10)
WP_000280.jpg


This random lot of stuff including a great (in my mind) bucket o bolts. for a grand total of $3
Cool pirate skull and crossed swords belt buckle that would make a great headbadge.

And finally this 24" free spirit bike for $5. I have already stripped it down for parts and scrap metal. I thought the seat and grips were cool.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/18 Exerciser+Trek+Parts+Bolts+Ramshorn

There is something therapeutic about simply stripping a bike down for parts. No real thought involved (except contimplating what you could use a part for). It is a 180 degree difference from the build off. Nice way to chill out, listen to some tunes and have a cold one.
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/18 Exerciser+Trek+Parts+Bolts+Ramshorn

WOW! I just ran the numbers on the "EXTRAS" that were thrown in with the Trek purchase and they total about $300.
Well worth the 4 block ride I had to make to get there. :p 8)


It's been a great CL week. Two exercise bikes, a Phat chopper, a Free Spirit parts bike, a Trek flip bike with $300 in accessories for a grand total of $105.

Super deal on those rams horn bars. You beat me to them by about 10 minuets!

Thanks, I have always thought that they are pretty cool. Can't wait to figure out what build to put them on in the future.
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/21 BOA G Tires Almost DB Formula 1 BMX

Saw this on CL and thought I was getting a deal on a cool old school BMX bike. Diamond Back Formula 1

Turns out it is a bike shop that is closing down, so I also picked up these BOA G tires for a good package deal.

WP_000297.jpg


Once I unloaded the bike, I noticed that the frame was really torqued in a bad way up front. Turned around and went back to the shop and worked out a refund where the BOAs were still a good deal. I hope to get some more cool stuff when they get closer to officially closing shop.

Score on those Boas! Maybe you can score some tools from the shop when it closes down?

That's what I am hoping.

ARE YOU RE-SELLING THE BOA G'S - LET ME KNOW :)
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/21 BOA G Tires Almost DB Formula 1 BMX

I probably will sell some of them, but don't have to time to deal with them just yet.
I will let you know in a week or so.
