Found some more bikes today.
Was browsing the Port huron craigslist and saw this bike, emailed the guy and i got an email back today, he accepted my offer of $20

Its an interesting bike, in fair condition. I think firwalker has a bike really similar to this. I think he put bel air on the side.

IT was made in czechoslavia(sp) which i think is pretty cool

Thought the seat tube sticker was cool.

Awesome wheels, love em. Never saw a dropcenter type thing like this.

Cool tires.

Never saw a chainwheel like this. Of course its cottered too.

Driving home from picking this car up, i ran into this guy's house who's back yard was LOADED with bikes and stuff. I didnt have enough cash to buy anything...and i didnt know his address.

Oh!
and i cleaned my car!

Just the whitewalls and the headlights....yet to wash it

Before

Cleaned the rapido last night and hope to get a quick sale out of it. All i need to do is slap a longer banana seat on it and taller apes. Oh, and polish the rear wheel
if anyones interested, this will be for sale as soon as i find a seat...unles you want it all original

That looks heaps like the majority of Australian muscle bikes, in that it is lug brazed and uses cottered cranks with an english style BB - as opposed to the fillet brazed, 1pc/US BB schwinns etc. Pretty cool. How rad are off-brands?

Re: TheFlyingDingo's Fresh bikes-New bike(s)-7/25

Friend called me today, he let me know his grandparents were getting rid of bikes. So, I picked em up...heh

Not bad at all for free.
A huffy "wind" 12 speed and a sears free spirit 3 speed

Paint is in pretty good condition, the tires ended up holding air

Maybe i can flip it....say....$35? $40?

I dont think the tires are holding air on this one, but hey, its in really nice shape. Theres lots of overspray on it though, it should come off

At the monent its not shifting(the cable isnt moving) but i havnt gotten a chance to mess with

This home-made mirror was on the bike...This is where all the overspray came from...interesting

Re: TheFlyingDingo's Fresh bikes-New bike(s)-7/30

Looks like Steve(Ratrod) has some competition when it comes to cleaning/detailing. That Rapido is a cool bike.
