My future plans....patina pedaling...patina peddling.....
There's a classic one in Elizabeth City, NC, The Kickstand.
Just window shopping (he's closed for the summer) took me about an hour, and I was in a hurry.
Sitting outside in a fenced area are a bunch of dept store bikes, and a sign: "kids-take what you need"
I've got to get in there one of these days... He has an old A-D hanging outside for a sign.
Most need a markup of 20% + their tuneup costs, or 40% overall.
They're taking in trades more than they used to, but not exactly giving top dollar.
My LBS still takes them on on consignment, and they move pretty well.
