Sweet finds Steve! That Fair Lady looks to be in great shape :wink:

 

[outskirtscustoms]

nice scores, that fork on the avenger 350 is awesome!

 

[uneasy rider]

where else can you have so much fun for so little. really diggin the scrambler, and that avenger is a tank!

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

That Fairlady os SWEET!!

 

[Rat Rod]

and that avenger is a tank!

The funny part is...I put the Scrambler in the van first and thought I'd injured myself in the process from the weight. I went to grab the Avenger thinking this thing is gonna be a beast and it ended up being lighter than the Scrambler. :lol:

 

[eparsons]

alot of great finds at that sale , i looked at that avenger at least 4 times . love that fork

 

[Rat Rod]

It's too bad it's missing the original seat and sissy bar.

 

[Outlaw90]

that fairlady is clean! and the bmx has some serious style!

 

[65rat]

Those avenger forks look sweet but they're flimsy I put one on my Columbia I'll post a pic later.

 

[Rat Rod]

Yeah, I don't think anyone will be riding this. )

 

[Rat Rod]

Well, it's been cloudy and rainy today so I spent a couple of hours piddling out in the garage with the new bikes.

I washed the Avenger 350 and the 20" Hollywood. I went over the wheels on the Avenger and tried to get what little oxidation was on there off. I also took an old Schwinn seat that I had off of a Scrambler 36/36 and threw it on there. The Carlisle MX Agressor tires and in really nice shape and the Sun wheels with ACS and Bendix hubs are nice too. This was sort of a quicky detail job to get it cleaned up a bit. All of the bearings will need to be cleaned and regreased eventually.

This little Hollywood cleaned up nice too. The photos make the color look like a straight blue, but it's got more green in it. I swapped the wide apes for some kid's Schwinn touring bars. Just need to find a blue and white kid's "S" seat and some kid's blue grips. I will eventually tear the whole thing down and refurbish everything so that one of my daughters can ride it.

Old NASA sticker...

Rat, your bikes always amaze me. You can polish the worst looking bike in the world and make it look like gold. Either that or you have a great camera. :mrgreen:
