Re: Kingfish254's Finds 4/8 Lowenbrau Lion Fender Orns+Hardrock

I received a very cool surprise in the mail today. Last week, "Henry Morgan" asked me for my address because he had some unusual item for me. Look at the cool Lowenbrau Beer Lion Fender Ornaments that he pulled off of a bar beer clock. They are about 4" tall. How cool is that? They even already have the screws in the bottom of their feet. THANKS BUDDY!!!

Then on my way sell a set of tires from the bike shop purchase, I picked up this Specialized Hardrock Sport. The student was selling it cheap because the front D rubbed the chainring and he liked his fixie better. Not bad for two Jackson's!
(SOLD)

Ain't bike karma great! Member Homebrew showed me some recently with a Nexus thumb shifter!

Those lions would look great on the sides of your burled walnut tank!

And, that seat post from the Specialized looks like it would fit the Fat Fink II when it arrives.


Cheers buddy!

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 4/8 Lowenbrau Lion Fender Orns+Hardrock

Tank, if they were smaller, I could use them on the tank, but these are perfect fender ornament size at 4" tall.

I am pretty sure that I'll be buying a slowrider post for Fat Fink II. I did come across a great 32T chainring this weekend in my shop.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 4/22 Teardrop Surprise!!!

About a week ago I got a PM asking for my address. A fellow RRBer wanted to surprise me with something.
I figured it would be some cool but unusual non-bike part since I have a reputation for finding and using weird stuff.
Well it is definitely cool and I was completely BLOWN AWAY when I opened the package this morning to find a brand new pair of Person Teardrop pedals!!!!!
These are definitely going on my RRBBO8 "FireWing" build!!!!! They will compliment the wing shapes on my 1953 Columbia very well.
These babies are wicked!!!! Thank you Mr. Bubble!!!!!! I owe you a debt of kindness in return.

(USED on Firewing)

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 4/22 Teardrop Surprise!!!

Picked up this newer chrome bike with 3 speed, rear drum brake, and nice generator hub.

(SOLD to co-worker for what I paid for both bikes. The Ranger spaceliner is free now.)



EDIT: Here is a better photo

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 4/23 Ranger Spaceliner

I saw this on cragislist yesterday for only $25. I thought that I had missed it when I never heard back from the seller. Turns out, he was just slow answering email. I picked it up with the other chrome bike. I think this is the same bike that another guy was trying to sell for $200 last year.
(SOLD)

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 4/23 Ranger Spaceliner

Wow! That Ranger has some real nice parts on it!

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 4/23 Ranger Spaceliner

You need to polish that up and keep it around as a ride for the Mrs. and a 'mate' for Flexy....
Just sayin' it's so complete, ya know?

My wife loves her little Dahon too much.
It is a very complete bike. All it really needs is a little seat work, polish, battery/lights testing, and matching tires.
Maybe I will fix it up for my niece. Not sure if she's into biking though.
