Sick as a dog
 

Look out for the stomach bug going around...holy crap
I about died, ....Just starting to get over it.

How bout them Broncos...yeah (sigh)
.



The deep freeze temps have also abated somewhat here ..got
nice today..+40

Looks like I might have the Vista Dutchuss mixte sold off on CL I
may have underpriced it at 25.00 $....:(
I bought it for 7.00$ at a thrift store.


Well, anyway...this is my first attempt at bike selling, so don't laugh
too much at my ads..

I also got a continental on the block, I thought I would show it off before
someone snaps it up.

So is this how it's done ??

I got a Vista just like that (except for the bar tape color) for my wife about a year and a half ago from the LBS - paid $45.00 - which I felt was close to, but not quite overpaying. You probably could have gotten more for it, but you turned a reasonable profit on it, so it's good right? ;)

If you did absolutely nothing to it, sounds like you made a decent profit. There's one on the local CL here for $10. BTW, I don't think that's technically a mixte. A mixte usually has two thin downtubes that run from the headtube to rear dropouts, passing on either side of the seattube.

1) What JunkYardBike said. He beat me to it.
2) A couple of years back, I was setting up the security dept for a local hospitial. A GI flu was going around the Emergency dept, and hit me like the wrath of God Christmas day after dinner with the wife's family. I thought my mother-in-law had poisoned me......:eek:

Around here male bikes go for more $. It'd probably go for $50 if ridable as-is. I'd take off the silly vintage speedometer.

Well, look at it this way--you got to stay home and fix bikes! And then sell them for a profit. It's almost like having your own little bike shop.

Broncos are bums. Go Seahawks.

Hope your flu doesn't last too long, just long enough to fix a few more bikes :).
