Hey folks, just went to see Jack at his new "retail" location, he has some really cool vintage bikes for sale...
for those that don't know, Jack takes in donated bikes (registered 501c3 charity), fixes up the small ones for kids, and sells the big ones for money to run the operation and buy parts for the small ones..
he is always looking for people this time year to donate their skills turning wrenches to get the bikes ready for the big season push..
you can check out his site at jackthebikeman.org
you can visit his bike store at 4401 broadway in Riviera Beach
I saw some cool bikes, I'm trying to get him to start an ebay account so he can get top dollar, you might want to get there before I talk him into it..

like many of the bikes there this one needs work, the only one I found on ebay is BIN for $1000
get it now at Jacks for $100
also had a couple nice Vintage Fuji's, the one I didn't take the picture of, when I found it on Ebay, last one sold for 225

$100
had a couple late 80's Schwinns one "prelude", one "tempo"
both in nice shape $100 each
had a nice Nishiki, too
those were the ones that caught my eye, there are MANY MANY more there
he has a TON of "comfort bikes", and 500 more bikes back at the warehouse that he lets volunteers have first look at
please PM me if you're interested at putting in a Saturday in the near future turning some wrenches for him..
remember any donation above the real world values of the bikes is tax deductible
thanks for your time
