I've flipped mostly fixed gear conversions, due to the bumper crop of kids and hipsters here in Indy. Too numerous to post, and well, they're fixed gears. Here are my most memorable C&V flips:
My first flip! '87 Nishiki Olympic 12. Paid $15 for it, added a wheelset and new bar tape ($50), rode it twice, then sold it to a high school XC runner for $125. I really miss that bike.
Flipped this beautiful '79 Panasonic Touring Deluxe just to turn a fat dollar.
Paid a small money for this '85 Centurion Ironman, it was too small for me. Sold it to Robbietunes.
Last but not least, this '85 Nishiki International went out the door four weeks ago. Very nice bike, just my size, but I had too many bikes I wanted to keep, so I found a good home for it. Counting the original purchase price, and the shipping cost I had to endure, I pretty much broke even on this one, but the new owner is riding it and loves it!
Why I flip? I flip C&V bikes for fun and a little profit. The FG flippers are where I make the REAL money!
