Had an awesome day today. Drove down to JAX again. This time to do a trade with us1ss (Mike). Made it a multi-purpose trip to drop off Wildcat's 53 Schwinn frame that he has bought back from me. I also checked out CL before heading down and picked up my first recumbent bike.

Another cool thing about the trip was while I was travelling I was getting a ton of hits on my CL ads, so I stopped by the office to pick up the parts and delivered enough parts on the way home to completely cover the gas of my 6 hour round trip.

Here are the two awesome frames that I got from Mike.
Cameron's old Texas Special 1938 Colson
SOLD

Picked this up on CL during lunch for $20. I should be able to sell the rack for that much then have a decent coaster wheelset for free.
SOLD

I've been looking at that Bug Eye tank on the Cabe thinking it was just a tank someone hacked holes in. Pretty cool that it actually was made that way!

That's what I thought to start with too. The price was too good to pass up, so I'll add it to my parts collection.
 
Received this cool light from another trade with ilikebikes.

Cool little light, do you want to part with it?

No thanks. I missed out on a similar one and was glad to find that Tony had this one.
 
My 1936 Silver King has landed

Nice SK... One of these days I hope to find a barn find SK. I guess your method of buying and selling so you can trade up is a good plan, I might just have to start selling off some excess stock if I ever want one..

No buying or selling for this one. It was just a trade of my custom for this classic.
But I do typically use my YSD (Yard Sale Dollar) conversion rate to justify my purchases.
 
Getting this 67 year old girl delivered tomorrow. 1947 CWC
SOLD in parts
