Yup.
When you start worrying more about people leaving stuff than taking stuff, you may have a problem... |

Thrift shop find today, I believe it is a 1996 Trek 930 with upgraded cranks and an aftermarket Scott handlebar. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...729476a3e6.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...86ca9da2f7.jpg |

My friend picked up three bikes put out on the street by his neighbor last week: a Santa Cruz mtb bike, a Cervelo P3C and a Kestrel 200. Who throws that kind of stuff away!!! |
Found this in a pile of stuff headed for the dumb near were I live covered in ice and dirt. A very nice early cassette 6 speed DA MTB wheel with nice tire and rim. Knocked the dirt and ice off and pumped up the tire straitened the skewer a bit turns to my shock it's dead true the hub and freewheel spin perfect so now I have nice spare wheel for my 6 speed MTB and I just happen to have the 1st gen XT RD and Shifter to match the wheel in my parts bin.

3SpeedSlow, I like that Rock Ring on your 930. |
Went a sale'ing this morning and this hipster followed me home on the back of the car. Didn't kick him off because I felt sorry for it being green, dented, and possibly high on performance enhancers.
But what is it? I know it ain't easy being green, as made obvious from the badly dented top tube. But this custom green paint job, and there's neon green shining through in spots where the green has been scraped. All I know is that the lady who sold it to me said her brother-in-law was told it would cost him a minimum of $100 to have a frame repair attempt made... so he bought another bike and dumped this one off for her to sell at her yard sale. Not pictured is the trip-computer which i pulled off to keep in the house. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...566c924b7a.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...98970e1831.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6be1333cb0.jpg |

Not really my 'catch' but stripped a few bikes at the co-op and strategically placed the frames in the 'frames for sale' area. They were a True-Temper Trek 400 and a Centurion Sport DLX.
They most likely would have been scrapped otherwise. |

Thanks [MENTION=395146]tiredhands[/MENTION], seems that's it and was able to identify the sizing thanks to that link too (54cm). Interesting, so it is actually a "Specialized" frame and not just components then, definitely looks the part. The Hincapie GPS tag is from the 2016 Greenville, S.C. ride. Makes me suspicious if this crashed in that ride or just what, the damage seems confined to the top tube, almost like something hit it numerous times (trunk lid or?. The top tub dents are rather worriesome as there are numerous small ones and that one big one. Not sure how well such a lightweight frame, guessing aluminum, will hold up with dents like that. If it were a steel frame I wouldn't have any doubts that it was still good to keep on trucking. First bike I've ever bought with carbon fiber components.

Any Hi-E hub or hub parts?

Most of the rims are vintage mountain bike rims. There are some Hi-E rims, and some other misc road rims (no gold rims that I saw, but who knows). I really haven't gone through any of this stuff very thoroughly, it was just a "yeah, I'll take them all", because they were....
...wait for it.... ....going to be scrapped this week. :eek: Here's an "as we were loading them up" pic: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...14b23453d6.jpg I bought more jerseys, t-shirts, jackets, etc, than I have room for in all the closets in my house combined. A lot of the parts will be going to local bike thrift stores, after I consult with the local bike wizard as to what will be the best way to handle this sheer volume of stuff. I believe these are original Hi-E technical drawings, but I have not opened any of them far enough to confirm as of right now. I got a bunch of Hi-E stuff (and left even more behind). https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...330ee5dcfa.jpg |

You're gonna have those zigzag scratches on it, but it won't be too bad if you take it easy.

An old childhood friend showed up for a ride and brought an extra bike with him. Sweet...2001 HKEK. It will probably end up down in Texas.https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4e0abe039a.jpg

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5f950cae8.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...5e52c8e5a.jpeg Sorry! Actually thought I had taken more pics! More pics coming. 51cm frame. Full 105 group. Maybe too much “patina” to be used as a whole...yeah, definitely parts. |
I see some Miami Vice pr0n. And a matching water bottle cage. Dang, where's my blazer?
Better check that joint between the brake bridge and the drive side seat stay. |
Grabbed these from an auction last night. 87 Trek 400 Elance (Reynolds 531) and an 81 Fuji Monterey. The Fuji is awesome heavy and a mid to low range model, but in amazing condition for $1.25. The Trek needs a rebuild, but very decent shape. I’m almost not believing it only sold for $36. Fun stuff! https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8df833963.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...147fa1e7f.jpeg |
