Twin Cities Bike Swap

[MplsCoaster]

Hey Everybody,
Got to Twin Cities Bike Swap. Lots of vendors, whole other room full.

Saw the people that sold me my wife's JC Higgins and Hawthorne Tank bike
Got a banana seat from them to match some black glitter grips, Here's the loot:

Lots of take offs, some unique stuff, didn't spend a ton of money, 1,2,5,10 for most...
Think the 20" recumbent front wheel will end up on my wife's eliminator. The Hoggy Gs, well...
Thanks for looking.
Steve

Thanks Nick,
They're 24X3.45 but not really. Take-offs from a Surley 1X1=11 Anniversary:

Already have one in the mail but had to buy them for a not-cheap but good price
You'll have to wait until tomorrow to see them mounted
Thanks to the accuracy of No Talent Clown:

They weigh about 1200g with the tube
Can now think of a few other bikes to use them on...
RRBBuildOff7 is just around the corner

Where will it all end?
Build off rules hold the same as last year so we might not see Semi-Truck tires this year :lol:

Yeah..24X3 are going to be common this year. I have a set of 24" rims in the garage just waiting. Going to go with a three speed I think.
