Hi-E:

HiE, main

N.B. although they're quite light, they don't really hold the wheel securely. Harlan included instructions with his hubs on how to file a recess in your dropouts to prevent the axle from shifting. Might be ok with vertical dropouts, but otherwise use them on a wall-hanger.

JohnD,

Way to go! Thanks for the prompt info. Hi E stuff, never had that in the bin before.

One we more if I may. I take it these do not require or come with springs ?

Thanks again !

Everyone sees color a little differently than everyone else; but it's not necessarily a gender thing. (Though statistically, there's probably some gender bias somewhere.) It's pretty common, for example for lots of people to see reds as different shades of brown.

Found this for $64 and some change this afternoon. Gave it a good deep clean, and now back for sale. Not for $64 and some change, though.:lol:,,,,BD

At work today and spotted this on Craigslist. I called them and they agreed to hold it for me. Looks to be in wonderful condition.

Nice one Sloar, those 400's are quite nice riders.

Spent tonight riding on my old 89 Trek 400 winter beater. No matter which configuration I have it in, wonderful response and handling.

Picked it up this morning, really pleased with the condition. Also surprised with the Wolber rims laced to Miche hubs, Regina freewheel, and the Silca pump with the Campy head.

Found this Mongoose Inferno on my way home, it seemed to have been welded with a bald rear tire and pretty beat up. After a new RD and tire its back running. I already have too many bikes in my life so this will go on CL. What should I list if for? It seems to be a better than chain store quality with the judy front fork, headset, and cranks. Still, will the average buyer care about all of that if it's labeled Mongoose? http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=491816

This isn't the forum area for asking for an appraisal. The C&V Appraisal forum is for that.

But, this isn't a Classic or Vintage bike, either.

Nice find and nice bike,the 400 was a nice made bike, I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

Found by the neighbors garbage can as they were moving out. It has a nice "Free" sign on it. It's a 1986 Schwinn Passage. This is my winter project and I almost have it completed to my liking.

a friend said his neighbor put a Peugeot Carbolite 103 out on the curb. he brought it to me. here's a PIC of what it looked like, but not actually it.
i stripped it down, stripped the paint, powder coated it, and built it up as this kind of hybrid thing.

i also brazed rack bosses on the seat stays, fork, and added a set of bottle bosses.

I'll be adding a near free rack & maybe fenders.

the rear wheel was missing the freewheel, so I used an old wheel I had hanging around - Campy hub! Serious upgrade for this project.

Lucky lucky lucky!!!,,,,BD

First 2016 Trash Pick
 

My 91 year young dad has been religious about walking an hour or more a day up until the last 6 months. So he wanted to try a bike to ease up on his knees.

So I haul the small step thru Bridgestone MTB for him form MI to NNJ and set it up in front of the family room TV. Just checked fit and tire drag on the Blackburn trainer with him this morning.

On my way back from Home Depot this afternoon, I spot this in the curbside ROW aka the free zone. So I switch to the big rig and go and fetch this, about 600 feet from their home.

It's not a $2,000 wifi pelotoncycle, but he would get distracted by the lovely Lycra clad trainers and forget what he is doing. [MENTION=108582]RobbieTunes[/MENTION], they're almost as cute as your favorite Continental Tire spokesmodel.

Now that's taking care of your Dad! Good on ya! Cherish the times.

Got a 20T cog for my 3 speed and

thishttp://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=496980 for my early Dawes Galaxy. GB rando bars. Couple bucks for both items, more like have to charge you something for these old worthless parts.

Mongoose IBOC Pro looptail. Steel and aluminum mixed construction with Deore, DX and XT bits.

This one popped up on Our "Craigslist" in Oslo for 30 $. Bought it on a whim and it is sadly too small for me. This is probably made for the Danish market and is a 1989/90 model. Tange Infinity tubeset and Suntour XCD Group.

Frame is small, but $30 still a great deal.

Bike swap haul. Not shown are two sets of Mavic Reflex tubular rims. Never been laced or glued. One set of silver, and the other in grey anodized. The hippie Cannondale seat bag is my favorite find. The girder stem is going on the Super Sport frame from pastorbob.:),,,,BD

I snapped a pic of the rims. Can't wait to use these on a couple of deserving project bikes...

I guess this estate sale find Turin gas pipe (wow, is it heavy!) might qualify as "saved from the dump"...

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=498768

That's a very early Kryptonite lock. Almost as heavy as the bike. LOL Chris

Yeah, still trying to figure out what I should do there. The lock is an ABUS. The seller didn't know what happened to the key. Not sure which I'll cut, the U-lock or the padlock. One thing going for it, this lock isn't subject to the Bic pen attack. :D
