Two tubular rims. Mavic, 36 hole is in pretty good shape. Matrix, 24 hole is slightly out of round. Check the pictures for rust, but brake surface has low wear on both.
Shipping will be $12 for 1, maybe $15 for 2.

$5 then giving them away. I suppose I might try that. I do have a pile that I am thinking should go to a scrap dealer. I can do the box of crap swap because I need to be short
a whole lot more boxes of crap by the end of the year.

Dave I'll take those rims next time I'm in Boston. Would love to come check out your stash if you're looking to move a bunch of stuff simultaneously also. I think I have your phone number still (I'm stien, you built me some wheels before) and I'll call you when I'm planning on making the trip.

1991 Trek 950 MTB
Kinda ratty and not real well cared for. To use as a beater bike, you'd need tires and brake pads. A better seat would be nice, too. Everything works, though it doesn't always like to shift to the biggest chainring. No rust bubbles, but there are a few very minor rust stains around the vents in the tubes, probably from water draining out after riding on wet trails. Taking it apart may be a booger.
I believe Trek called it a 20 inch size. I'm 5' 11', and it was just right on the road and a bit tall on these tight Eastern trails. I'm not too excited about the idea of shipping it, but if you're willing to come to the Roswell (Atlanta), GA area and you could put it to good use, let me know.

How about that Trek 950, FormerFF? I'm in Flowery Branch, and would love to come claim that sucker, since I'm not far away... I might even have a couple things you could use? Let me know if it's already been claimed.

You're the first local who has asked. I'll hold it for you if you like. I'm in Roswell and work in Norcross, if that would help.

23" Raleigh frame. Mid-late 70s. All straight except on problem. BB threads are bunged up. Not my size and I just don't have the space or time and patience at the moment.
I think you can straighten out the threads, but I don't know if they are English or Whitmore. BB in the pictures is Whitmore I think. Might also work to use VO threadless BB.
If nothing more, you will get a good fork out of it. Free plus cost of shipping.
Update: Frame has been spoken for. Thanks for the interest.

23.5" Trek 660 bare frame+fork. Previous owner reportedly hit a seagull with the bike on the roof rack. Front wheel got trashed, front dropouts tweaked, maybe fork bent. Headset turned just fine before it was removed. Surface rust, but internals look clean. Aside from the dropouts I can't see any damage. If you have the alignment tools this frame should be fine, but I don't want to make any promises.
Will send some pics if requested before tomorrow AM.
Pick-up in Baltimore/DC area very much preferred. Shipping will be ~$50 in the end otherwise.

A Trek 660 is worthy of saving. I wasn't considering it, as it's too big for me.

I got the parts off the frame and am not in need of another project. This one can go to someone who is.
Shipping will be closer to $35 for most of the country.
EDIT: Claimed!

Hmmm.... Better back away from this thread before I do anything too irrational.
