Bikes: Do we really "own anything"??

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.

Bikes: Mostly English - predominantly Raleighs

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.

Bikes: Seriously downsizing.

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......

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.

Bikes: Nishiki Nut! International, Pro, Olympic 12, Sport mixte, and others too numerous to mention.

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 .
