did you flip this one ? or is it still in limbo someplace ? ( or enroute to me ? ;) )

need to get out there and dig through my own not-so-fresh find that my dad picked up for me while I was recovering from a ruptured apendix.

keep posting the goods :)
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/14 Felt Fat Tire Bike RRB Teamwork

I sold it and the JC Penney Swinger to Josh_from_ga a few days after I bought it.
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/14 Felt Fat Tire Bike RRB Teamwork

I thought it was going to be a dead day of yard saleing since there were only two I was going to.

Came away from one with a cool $150 Roc-N-Soc drum seat for $10. I have a small drum seat that I use in my shop constantly. This one is comfy, but it may get in the way in my small shop. It may go up on ebay.

SOLD

I also got a set of road bars with Campy brifters for a song along with some Planet Bike fenders.

(SOLD Campy Brifters for $133)

Brifters? Are those the brake handles that are also shifters? I didn't know they had a name. I have ridden 2 bikes with them and am trying to get my wife a road bike with those. Very cool.

Funny thing, riding the 2nd bike I tried with those brake-shifters, I was shifting up and tapped the brake hard, got squirrelly, which isn't normally bad, but it was on my neighbors multi-thousand dollar carbon fiber road bike with a $2400 wheelset! :shock:
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/14 Felt Fat Tire Bike RRB Teamwork

I don't know if everyone calls them that, but I have seen them called that.

I also found this for a buck at a yard sale a few weeks ago. It's some sort of grease gun I think, but it looks like a cool battery holder to me.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 8/21 Tom Thumb Bike Radio Firewing II

During the build off Felix (DBubbleGuy) sent me something that I couldn't refuse. He really liked Firewing and felt the color match was great for this item. It's a 1949 Tom Thumb Bike Radio that has been converted to use any mp3 player. These are the photos of it when he had it. I'll be using an ipod shuffle with it. Needless to say, I have been blown away by this super cool radio. I still need to make up a bracket for it. I didn't feel that it would work with the style of my Build Off version of Firewing. So stay tuned for Firewing II.
THANKS FELIX!!!!!

(USED on Firewing II)

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 9/1 Black Floyd + 1940s CWC Roadmaster

Sold the New Belgium bike for triple what I paid for it, so I rewarded myself with a couple of items from Walker.

Getting this Black Floyd to possibly end up on my Nanner Puddin Screamer build.

Got the Worksman/Bricks wheelset from slowriderz today. THESE ARE AWESOME and HEAVY!!!!
What a combination. Worksman fat rims with fat spokes, Drum brake front, Nexus 3 rear, and brown Quick Bricks!!
Thanks SR!!! I think one of these weighs as much a my co-workers Cannondale.

First "self found" pre-war is special... at least yours is a men's bike. :lol:
 
Re: Kingfish254's Finds 9/13 Electra + Nirve Cruisers

Picked up these two by pre-emailing a yard sale that had bikes.
Dusty but nice bikes
Aluminum Electra Coaster Cruiser with Retro Runner tires.
Nirve Zuma with 3 speed pink wheelset.
The best part was a guy riding up as I was loading the bikes telling me he came over to buy the bikes. SORRY! :p 8)

I've been that guy before. It's a crummy feeling, especially when the seller says they'll hold it for you. Can't really fault the other buyer..."dont hate the player, hate the game" as they say.

I contacted her first, and she let both of us know that the other was coming. Not my fault he was slow.
