Mostly Garbage Day Eve Finds

[Captain Awesome]

Our Goodwill had these two 26" wheel sets today. Left set has Bontrager 26x2.00, right set has like new 26x2.35.View attachment 286757

Score!!! Those Bontragers would go in my stash in a heartbeat

They are kind of a semi-slick tread pattern. I really like them.

This one is going to a homeless person. Some people at our church tried to give them some food. They said they were good for now but were praying day and night for a bicycle. Then a neighbor brought me this US made Murray Nassau.

The gum walls were dry rotted. I changed them to multi terrain 26x1.95s that still had the casting flash. I had a comfy Cloud 9 saddle that I put on it for them. Lubed, adjusted and cleaned it. We hope to get it to the person in the next couple of days.

It looks unused, like a new bike. A big basket would be a good addition. It'll need a lock. On the bikes I give away or sell, I write the owners name and number on a piece of paper, roll it up in a plastic bag and slide it down in the seatpost. I leave just a small bit of the bag hanging out so it can be accessed by reaching under the seat.

My wife is giving up her lock so they will be able to lock it. The ID idea is great. I'll pass it on.

The homeless man was so glad to receive the bike. These two were given to me today. I'm going to go over them. I already spotted some needed repairs. Once they're ready I'll let my contact know I have a couple more for the homeless population.

Was given this Specialized Hard Rock Comp. I'm going to see if my grandson can use it around campus when he starts attending Purdue next year.

I think that's a Hard Rock model...but I'm not a Spesh fan, so I might be incorrect

Your right I was typing in a hurry. I'll fix it.

It's a darned good bike. That wasn't a garbage day eve find, was it? Fairly decent shape, that Judy shock is nicer than what's on my Hardrock

Paper guy picked it up, tossed out. It had a $50 sign on it then I guess they gave up and put it to the curb. The rear derailleur needs a little adjustment.

It'll be a great campus bike for your Grandson for sure!
