Picked up a few bikes this weekend that were donors. One was a 3 speed All Pro that I paid $3.00 for and thought I could flip it -- tires were good and it had decent alloy side pull brakes. Got it home and the back wheel was dented beyond hope.
Pulled off the 26 1 3/8 tires and tubes, the Shimano 3 speed shifter, the handle bar with alloy levers, north road bars and the front chrome fender.
The other bike was a Huffy mountain bike that gave up a set of tires (already on another bike that is getting flipped), a set of great condition hand grips, 6 speed thumb shifters and brake levers.
