so I was working sunday (at a bike shop) and this crazy guy showed up. bald, spitting, dirty cut up shirt, interrupting customers and I, and had a scab the size of a quarter between his eyes. I didnt mind him until I walked outside and noticed the late 30's schwinn ghetto rigged to some crazy trailer. It had the Pullman badge. Unfortunately he had taken off the wheels, cranks and replaced them with crap and hand painted it with house paint, and he would sell it.
I took his number and address and went by after work. Everything in this guys house either cost him less than 5 bucks or was found in the trash. Some was cool others, not so much. It was sketchy. We went to the basement and he showed me this. After a while of him trying to sell me rental space in a shed and showing me random stuff I went home with it. As i was putting it in my car he ran out, with no shirt on, and asked "do you want the original skiptooth crank?" So luckily he threw that into the deal and i went home happy and safe.

unfortunately he painted this one by hand with house paint too.
the rack was also missing pieces and he used some piece of fence to rig it.
