One-Eyed Sailor's Fleet!

I call her Bubbles after our 1988 Chevy Suburban, my kid's favorite family car.
Hardly a scratch on her. Zero rust, pump, saddle bag...

Waddyagonnado? $75

$75. I put her next to the dining table. Dog is indifferent.

Nice! Always loved that green color.

 

[One-eyed Sailor]

Me too

Sweet ride! I did a ’71 brown one a few months ago.

for a skinny bike, it gets a lot of attention on classic bike rides.

most of those guys are soft on ballooners….

 

[One-eyed Sailor]

Sorry kids.

It's easy to overspend on bikes especially since there's so many cool ones out there. I should know I just dropped $240 on bikes and drug home 11 bikes I didn't need.

Yeah but I did just buy a 16 pack of bike hanging hooks so now that I can hang them up I should have room for a few more...lol There's only 40 bikes in my storage unit

ya I am in same boat. about 20 /40 in a monthly payed storage building. then another 25/30 at home + enough frames / parts to build way more . it's addictive.

I've been addicted to a few things, and in recovery for one. I hope there's no cure for the latest one.

That red one is a kingsize Schwinn?

Am I counting this up right? Did you get four bicycles for $200? That would be pretty cool around here. And you wouldn’t find bicycles like those either.

I’m not finding anything to build my dream, but you do find vintage racers like Peugeot. I’m just gonna weld one up from bits.

I wanna build a recreation of the bike I rode as a teenager. It was built from bits of other bikes, in the time honored method.

Go back a generation from those Schwinn cantilevers you have, to the straight bar Tornado. So far I haven’t found one close enough, or in the appropriate condition.

All I’m going to use is the frame and the crank set. It’s gonna get stripped and painted metallic purple just like I did it then.

For the enjoyment I get from having a storage unit full of bike projects it's worth much more than what I pay in storage.

 

[One-eyed Sailor]

Storage is my next "business" expense.... sigh

Ya

I bought five on Friday, paid $1000. The fifth one doesn't have handelbars so it's not seen here.
$400 for High Sierra, it's pristine. The KS American was 240. That's why I made the drive. The other I planned to buy was the Tornado, 40. The Corvette is very clean though incomplete.
All bikes have a story that speaks to someone. Cuz, you know.

Saturday I bought 3 and got 9 free... spent $240 total for 11 bikes including a 68 Stingray and 70 Fastback, 5 sets of ape hangers, 2 seats, and 2 wheel sets.
