the little things

restorations are aggravating sometimes

i bought this bike

just to get these

for a 24" version of the same bike :roll: :lol:

anybody else do silly stuff like that ?

 

[Markm]

yes...I do...

 

[ratina]

Did you finish that bike yet??

I have an identical 26" hanging in my rafters, even rustier though

 

[maddogrider]

Oh yea, my wife says im sick. She might have a point :roll:

90% done, had to track down a different frame and took forever finding an acceptable paint match. these reflectors and the decals are whats drove me silly though :lol:

 

[jre0123]

Been there done that .

Yeah, I find every excuse to checl the cl for anything, I purchased a schwinn heavy duty just for the wheels. Sometimes I'll see a bike that is just rusting away, and I think " What a rear rack, I should buy this bike" Oh well, I just need a bigger house is all.

 

[chimichanga]

You bought a bike that's not a schwinn?

 

[yeshoney]

More times than I could count! :roll: :roll: :roll:

its not for me :mrgreen:

 

[roadmaster]

yeah, i do this all the time. its like i need this one thing to complete a different bike, and i know i will use the rest of the bike for something. but then, i get around to doing something with the bike i just bought for one part and now need to find yet another bike to buy so i can now do something with the bike i bought for that one part in the first place. N+1 4EVER!

id say nothing is wrong with doing this and my wife is very tollerant of my bike issues. doesnt hurt to have two different locations at which to store all these bikes.

 

[BankerRAt]

You think thats bad? Ive done it for a bolt!!!

 

[Schwinnspastic]

yep I do it to , sometimes its cheaper to buy a whole bike than to purchase the parts. ???no wonder my bike pile is so big :roll:

 

[bits n pieces]

ill buy a bike for the valve caps! plus if its dirt cheap ill buy it just to have it.

 

[Rustinkerer]

I bought one for the air in the tires!!! :lol: ~Adam

A buddy of mine bought a complete 40 Ford pickup just to get the chrome acorn nuts off the heads. You can still buy the same acorn nuts new without the 40 Ford truck. He was less than impressed when we told him.
