Two weekends ago picked this up and gave it to my mother. Wallet crushing price of a whopping $10. Front reflector is busted otherwise the original owner had garage kept it and it is in really nice condition. Added air to the tires, all shifters and the brakes worked fine without need to adjust, fantastic! Rand Trail Blazer 2 (10-Speed Ladies MTB).:


Found a 700c rear wheel with decent tire and sprockets still attached at a yard sale yesterday for the whopping price of $2. And then the guy having the sale tells me his brother had been an unemployed bike nut that free-loaded off of him some years back and there was still a mostly intact bike of unknown condition under his porch I was welcome to have for ten bucks. Not my size, but for ten dollars I'll put new tires on and let one of my nephews ride it when visiting.


Schwinn Mirada (18-Speed, 17" seat tube) - 26" tire Hybrid Bike
Not sure of manufacture date, but it is made in China. Research seems to suggest there was a relaunch of the "Mirada" models series in the early 2000's and that would seem to fit. It's labeled as having come from a "high-end" regarded LBS that went out of business back in 2014, so at least know it was originally assembled properly. Best I can tell it's all stock down to the horribly dry-rotted gumwall tires. Rear wheel tube will not hold air, front tire pumped up to 50 lbs upon arrival home yesterday and still seems firm. Not cleaned the bike yet, but here is a picture.
