Bought this bike to sell

Bought it for $10 Took it home and now my wife took it! So I will be keeping it. Man my stable is starting to fill up! Racer made in Japan. I've been riding it around town with my son on the back. Nice bike and lot's of fun.

Duh. I don't know why I put Schwinn. Oh well anyway. My wife likes it so I guess it's here to stay for now.

I agree that your fork is bent and you probably don't have much of a career in flipping bikes either

I see a future in being married for a while for you though

Bikes: like 15. my favorite a 1951 schwinn spitfire cruiser. also have a 1959 amf roadmaster, 1962 jch deluxe cruiser among others.

so is your fork bent or is that just a sig? bent fork is a different beast all together and replacement for safty sake of weakend metal bent then rebent. anyways i try to flip bikes too, but some i just get attatched to. and as far as your stable filling up, try 2 mtn bikes and a full dressed cruiser in your living room, 2 more cruiser and a 3rd cruiser "just staying here for a quick minute" in the spare room that only i use. count 13 more in the basement of my other house 50miles away. if i felt it safe enough to keep some more bikes outside behind my house, thats probably where my wife would move me too.

Yeah I suck at flipping bikes. I love bikes to much. I guess it's like a drug dealer who also does drugs. Doesn't work to well.

The bent fork sig line is for another bike...long story. I just started moving my bikes in to my garage today because I'm starting to get paranoid!

All the bikes I have sold have been a great bargain for the buyers. I'm just having fun fixing them and watching someone get so excited about buying a bike for a good price.
