Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

I pulled these two from my favorite dumpster yesterday:



25" Motobecane, badly bent fork. I took the little mileage ticker off, and put it on my Lambert.
19" Blue Gitane, I suspect it's made in Japan. Front wheel is not original. I took the black Bluemels Lightweight fenders off; I know someone who want's 'em.

If anyone wants to collect these from me in zip 08648, do let me know. Otherwise I'll swap most of the Motobecane's parts onto a step-through Nishiki, refurb the Gitane, and try to sell them in the fall.
