Kingfish254's Finds - Over Ten Years of Kingfish Scores!!

Just wow! You are definitely some kind of cool stuff magnet.
As a Brit, I've never even seen a lot of the vintage stuff that gravitates towards your stash.
But I'm glad that thanks to this forum, I get to be educated.

Some stuff comes to me like a magnet, but most of it is because I am a bit of a cool stuff predator.

Here is a photo of me going on a recent barn find pick.

This thread has shown me more bikes and parts that I never knew existed than anywhere else on the interwebsz. It's a primer for Cool.

Can confirm. I see a bike on CL locally and soon hear a wind rushing noise as KF flies past my house at well over the posted speed limit to scoop up said listing

Went to Hala Targova Sunday flea market here in Krakow, Poland the other day. It was less than 10 minutes from our hotel. Scored this cool leather springer saddle. Not a Lepper, but pretty nice. Supposedly it is an old Soviet Russia model. Good wide cruiser size. Not bad for six bucks USD.

Got this beauty in the mail from @Princepavo today. Back in 2007 @Uncle Stretch build his first stetched Colson clone. Early 2008 he built a 2nd and 3rd one for Steve's Dad (@RatRodDad) and Steve (@Rat Rod). After a lot of digging around, I've determined that Uncle Stretch still has #1, @ind-chuckz has #2, and I now own #3.

CWC forks - SOLD to Dr T

Now I can pop wheelies and play chicken with trucks! This popped up on FB marketplace for at a price I couldn't resist. 2022 GT Performer 29 (never ridden). Total departure from my norm, but I've always been intrigued by the 29er BMX bikes for some reason. Funky peach and green color, but I kinda dig the 80s vibe from it.

SOLD - had my fun with a few rides, then flipped it for $100 profit.
