not really fresh, but finds

A couple of months ago I saw an ad on the local CL that read "bicycles $5 each , several to choose from". Who could resist that? I called and talked to the seller. He said "I think most of them are older ten speeds". These are what I found. Not a ten speed or three speed in the whole pile.These are about a third of what he had. I left all the little girls bikes.

The Royce Union bike appears to have a seat from an exercise bike on it.

The decal on the Dyno says "Wild Dunes Isle of Palms South Carolina 2003"

I liked the wheels on this Murray. I just noticed that the front one is installed backwards.

The seat is off of a Hampton Cruiser, which I also bought. The cruiser has the correct seat for this Murray on it.
There are a few more that I will put in another post.

Had to take a break...
Here's the rest.

A Next . The shiny finish is hard to photograph, especially with a $20 camera.

These two little Mongooses (Mongeese ?) are identical. One is missing the chain guard. I have two little grandsons that might ride these. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND THE MISSING PARTS TO RESTORE BOTH.Notice that the front wheel is backwards on one of them.

I liked the tread on these that reads MONGOOSE. It reminds me of tires I have seen on some very early cars. The brand of tires was Non-Skid and the tread was the words non-skid.

I had a mongoose K-slOw when I was younger, they are way too heavy in my opinion.
