Do not dump that frame and the fenders! +1 on the disk. I have a disk coming to me which will ride on my green Sekine( same model as yours)

Found these three: 1999 Bianchi Brava, an old Jamis, and a 1974 Follis French Tandem (Follis is after it was cleaned and tuned up).
Someone had them in storage for a long time and wanted to get rid of them. Will post photos once I am allowed to.

UPDATE: Photos

Do you happen to know the model? Shimano forged dropouts, alloy wheels, cotterless crank. Seems like a midrange bike.

So far the only things to get binned are going to be the chain, seatpost and a few other rusty bits. I'll clean it up and see what's what before going forward. The chainstay chrome rust is the worst of it.

LIKE.
Why do you not want people to like your posts? Because you don't want too many notifications?

Both look like good projects, my neighbor is on the hunt for one like the Rock Hopper. The Trek fits me that would a blast to clean and build. :)

I had one of those. They ride like a rocket sled!

I'd offer it to you if you were in Northern California. :)

No pics yet, but scored a 1973 Schwinn Paramount P-13 in Silver Mist paint.

GT Tempest

The big Opaque Green Sport Tourer was part of the package deal. It's been updated with Shimano 105 9speed equipment including a triple crank. That stuff will be coming off and put on something else, and more period appropriate parts put back on Big Green.

trash day score! After a little research (please correct me if i'm wrong) it appears to be a "sears screamer"
its definitely rough and parts seem to be scares and expensive, it probably wont be a "restoration" but maybe a "build up" project.
I defiantly think its cool and I have been wanting an old school cruiser project

Im not really sure what its worth, but it might be a cool collectors item once its built up

Falcon - Ernie Clements???
 

I liked the orange. I liked the seat and I wondered if that there label indicates some kind of Reynolds tubing. I don't thInk it is high end because of stamped dropouts but worth the $30 CAD. Any thoughts about age... Is this 531?

the seat is worth the $30. Rest is gravy.

Reynolds sticker looks like plain gauge, like some Falcons I've seen.

I expected as much. But still a fun little find.

the badge is cool !!

Salvaged a trek 720 multi trek straight from the dump. Super excited beautiful ride was look g for something for the wife

Finally some stuff from the 2nd hand store a Cannondale, Prologue, and a big Novara.

Pics? However gruesome, I wanna see! :)

That is Kool, Lots of work there but it looks pretty complete. Pretty sure it was built by Murray, I would have loved to find it myself, I have a Murray Eliminator 3spd project I will get back to one of these days. When I was truing the rear wheel the dish was off bad I redished the wheel which by the time I was done spokes were sticking thru the nipples, ground the extra off put the wheel on the bike and it was way off center, wtf I thought. Turns out I forgot to install the special washer three speeds use on the drive side axle which is why the dish was off so bad in my stand, now I need to respoke the wheel lol.

as found

i saved a bmx. but im not sure what it is. says genesis on it in a couple spots but been modified with different parts. went to post a thread about, couldnt since im a newbie

wow that was a nice find! very clean. I'm defiantly going to have to do some wheel work myself, both of them are cracked and rusted out. I have never tried wheel building, i'm sure i'm going to have to do a lot of research on it.
i got my bike all torn down for a rebuild and it seems someone had done a spray paint job on it which is flaking off, I am hoping i can get that layer off. I can see the original paint underneath which is yellow that fades to red in the rear of the bike which matches the sears screamers. I don't know to much about the muscle type sifters either, Its going to be an interesting journey :roflmao2:

These are awesome!
 

I still ride mine.Great, smooth steel ride. Yes, the pedals are worth something. The seat and rim are not original though/ The seat says "turbo" on it and is perforated. The Arraya RM-20 rims for this bike have a gold/brown anodizing job. Hope you fixed it up!

At the thrift today and scored a perfect, new pair of Pedro tire levers for 2 usd!

If you are near Avondale Estates, GA., Second Life Thrift has a pair of Aero Bars for 9 bucks! I could not determine the make, but the bars and attachments are clean and without scratches, the pads look good....
