1. Amf Skylark. Picked this one up at a local flea market for $20. Rides really smooth, in fact I rode it to the truck after I bought it. My plans for it are that my mom's best friend got diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of months ago and really wants to start exercising some more to get her moral up.. So my mom agreed to buy whatever parts it needed if I'd fix it up for her. I'm thinking I'll strip it down and repaint it black and pink since the chrome is flaking off and then buy some pink accents like tires, grips, etc.
2. J.C. Penneys Trike. Bought this the same day at an auction at a floral shop that went out of business. They had it outside as decoration. Luckily nobody there was interested in it so I got it pretty cheap. $30. Its been repainted black with spray paint but I sprayed a little bit of Easy Off to see how much of the original paint was there.. green but it'll have to be repainted. Nice shape, has a Sturmey Archer rear hub that cleaned up really nice. Missing the rear chain that turns the axle but I can make one. The rear basket it pretty nice. I think it's a Huffy and distributed by JCP? Missing the chainguard.
3. Schwinn Le Tour Super 12.2 , I picked this one up for free yesterday off of craigslist. Somehow they managed to crack the frame in the front.. I don't have any idea how they managed to break it that bad but I think I can re-weld it and fix it.. Bike has really nice parts on it, The lady I got it from was riding it back and forth to work before it broke. If i can't get it welded and fixed then I'm going to strip all the parts off of it and put them on my speedster.
4. Old Tire Brass Tire Pump. Not really a big find but I really like it. My Uncle bought me this for my birthday last week (turned 16 woohoo) because he knows I have a few of them.. I think I might collecting old tire pumps because I've bought about 4 of them. Still has the original hose and it needs to have the rubber inside replaced and then it'll work.
5. My uncle just bought these today. The roadmaster is completely original and looks to be in really nice shape from the pictures he sent me. Paint is really nice, nice chrome and it should clean up nice enough where he can make some money off of it. If anybody is interested let me know. The other two, one is an old huffy and the other is an Amf Skyrider. I can't tell much about them from the pictures he sent me but I'll get better one tomorrow. He's got a friend of his that does custom paintwork and he's wanting to repaint one of them to see how they sell.. Again if anybody is interested in any of them let me know.
