Yeah I spotted that as I was unloading the car. :D I've been pretty busy and haven't done more than a cursory check on what all is there but there is some good stuff for sure. The Shimano SIS triple crankset got used this morning to replace the steel crankset on my new winter bike which is neither classic or vintage so will remain unnamed here but it was a perfect replacement as they had identical gearing and were very similar in appearance.

That's what I did with my curb find Palisades Trail.

Make sure you don't throw out that bike trailer attachment!

Roger that trailer attachment!

Not all bikes should be rescued from the dump
 

Some bikes should go to their eternal resting place where they are recycled into better looking bikes. Sounds shallow but ..........

Maybe so but nobody else's call but the owners. ;)

In my search for an old RockHopper I came across this and couldn't pass it up, my size, $50, bullmoose bars, thumbies, biplane fork and I have never had a Shogun pass through my hands before. Planning to clean the Prairie breaker I up, service the bearings and ride it as Clunker challenge bike #2 before I do anything else

edit...I've been overloaded with house repair and didn't realize until I posted that it was Titanium. I'm not finding anything on a TI Switchblade.

Picked up this 1995 Trek 930 SHX. At least I think it is an SHX model. The catalog does not show this color scheme for the SHX, but the components match everything it lists for them. The standard 930 didn't have the front suspension. ?? Regardless it should turn out to be a nice ride. Despite some goofball messing up the valve hole on the rear wheel. Apparently they could not find a 26" presta valve and make a nasty hole for a schrader valve. Looks like they used a hammer and chisel to open it up.

A lot of bikes of that style converted to dropbar make fantastic touring bikes. I've converted a number of similar bikes and love as touring bikes. they're fantastic on dirt or gravel roads too.

Love this, was in real bad shape but I knew it would be great. Love this bike.

That's not Ti. Not with those fat welds.
Still, almost every part on that makes it worth grabbing. Thomson stem. Easton Monkey Lites. XT Drivetrain. Fox suspension.
That is an unbelievable score.

I posted over in the mountain bike threads and found that Titus Titanium was the company logo for a time. Kind of like having a titanium credit card. Yes, great collection of parts that I'll be moving over to a Univega Alpina. Also, for reference, the first two digits of the serial number indicate the year. This is a 2004.

WOW, nice job!

No expert but even if its not Ti it sure looks pretty bad azz from here, I would clean it up too and keep it whole, maybe swap the Uni parts over to it or do a bin build. ;)

I went out of my way to pick this up, The paint is beat up, the original Deore thumbies were replaced by Sunrace. I had been hoping for Deore XT but it was all standard Deore. The good news is it was only $40, except for the shifters it appears all stock and its a Stumpy! Most likely an 87 or 88 based on the rear brake I need to look at the serial #

I dunno about "deal of the day" but I'm happy. I've kept my eye out for a set of front panniers that will, primarily, ride on my Fuji TS III for day trips when I need lunch, a place for more or fewer layers, brownies for friends, etc. BUT, I had no idea if I would like them so was not going to spend a lot of money on stuff that could become just more junk. Found this pair of late '80s Trek panniers on Craigslist. Very dirty and moldy with shot bungee cords but otherwise sound. Paid $10 and started the rehab. The inner plate was held with machine screws so that came out easily and I washed the two bags, Lysol and detergent. I then figured out how to take the bungee cord holders apart and replace the the ancient cords. They fit just fine and are not too big. Ya'll know about "a man's possessions......" They also fit two other bikes (my 87 Voyageur front and my Trek 850 rear rack) so they will be quite versatile. That also snap together so they are easy to carry as one and easy to store.

Now, if I just go on a light tour. At least I'm prepared for spring.

:thumb: Nice job, they look great!

What brand are they?

Friday night a 1981 Peugeot PXN10......

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...c7b0e62db3.jpg

This afternoon this mid-70's "Cherry" built by Nissan Cycle. $45 and it has 2 brand new Kenda K35 gumwalls on it. Not to mention that awesome.. :rolleyes: ... saddle.

Loaded the camel-trek for a recycle run. Wife insisted on coming so modified route to slightly less difficult. As we cross a neighborhood near ours she calls me back to view about 10 wheels beside a trash pile. Told her we would come back if still there. They were, an hour or two later when we rode by, so continued home. She had a hunch and insisted I take car immediately.

As I drove up and parked, a man pulled up behind me and asked about the trash. Firmly told him I was there for the wheels and proceeded. Took what looked worthwhile (4 complete wheels with tires and an extra tire) and left him the rest.

When I got home, and started cleaning the basic Giant front wheel was wrong size and very untrued. Set it beside compactor and was gone quickly. Now it gets good!

Got a ZAC19 with Shimano "parallax". 36 count with heavy spokes and clean before inspection. Not a super find, but good backup to either of our bikes. The other two wheels cleaned up to be a near pristine set of Matrix 32 rims with Deore DX hubs! They spin true :) No rust, even....

I'm not switching out my Sun Rhynos, but my wife just got an awesome upgrade to her Trek Navigator 50, and its no-name hubs!

Thanks. I've had some pretty good luck with rehabilitating grungy old stuff. These had "good bones" though so I was lucky.

Made for Trek. It seems that logo was used late 80's to early 90's. So good nuff for C&V.

Ah yes, I see it now. I've always thought of that as the techno Trek T. ;)

Man those really look great from here, are they as low mile as they seem?

1974 Raleigh Professional
 

So, I went out this afternoon to look at a Raleigh road bike, when I got there I found a 1974 Raleigh Professional in the middle of a failed fixie conversion missing the original wheels and the campagnolo rear derailleur and shifters, all the other campagnolo components seem to be there, as is the cinelli stem and bars, so I brought it home, sorry no pictures yet.- Gerry

Based on the lack of wear (no abrasions, zippers all work fine, no frayed fabric) I'd guess, yes, low mileage. Just dirty,moldy and stretched bungee cords. The PO didn't say much and I didn't ask. He also has a pair of rear panniers but I already have a set of the classic C'dale rears so I resisted temptation.
