  1. Sticky Thread Go to first new post Sticky: eBay / CraigsList finds - "Are you looking for one of these!?" Part II

    Wow! I just might be able to store another 25 bikes, but how to transport them? I'd have to rent a u-haul. Let me talk to my wife about this. If it's stuff like English three speeds, I might be able to make a profit on them. People around here want commuting bikes.

  1. Go to first new post Old vinyl Brooks saddle with springs inside

    I can take pictures when I get home if nobody knows what I'm talking about. This saddle was on my 1976 Triumph folder and was probably the original that it came with. It's got a vinyl or faux-leather cover over a metal frame with springs to provide squishiness. It's built rather like a sofa. ...
