An early morning drive to the Dudley swap meet paid off today. I have to thank Bri-in-RI for tipping me off to this find! Bought ut before it made it in the door, an 80's green and gold Ross mountain bike. And while it isn't the nicest bike in the world, I didn't think I would ever find a set of wheels like this. Near mint gold Ukai 26x2.125 BMX cruiser wheels. It wasn't cheap, but these wheels are worth it. Steve knows where these are going!!!
And then there was this. First thing I bought today. I saw the dude with it in the back of the truck tucked between a load of road bikes. He gave me a price and it seemed a bit high, but it was burried and dark out still. When he brought it indoors a small crowd was starting to look at it and wonder who the owner was and how much it was. I ran back outside and made a deal for it. It wasn't cheap, but the paint is in 9+ condition, just one small mark on the guard. A little rust on the wheels, but it will clean up nice. It's a 1968.
And just in case you don't want to have brakes on your bike, there is always this:
