I'll find the cereals toomarah... HC is good?

I keep my cereals in the food pantry.

seril numba is 935A With the straight BMX fork I'd guess its later production.

The Christmas rush is on! I almost left these, but horizontal drop outs and cantilever brakes are not that common. And I have a wide set of chrome motorized dirt bike bars, that make a sound like Klunk every time I move them. It has an aluminum chainring on the Ashtabula cranks, a single Suntour power shifter and matching stem and seat clamp. So another bike and no idea where I'm going to stash it.. The mixtie is rougher shape with some mis-matched components, in including a Raleigh branded Suntour GT rear derailleur. The claw is bent , but the mechanism looks fine. I was going to strip the bike there, but the $5 dollars I would save spending an hour kneeling in the half frozen mud got deprioritized. The frame is kind of rough, but the aluminum bits are clean, as is the headset and bottom bracket. The freewheel is grungy, but has a 34t cog, so that wheel went in the van..

leaf layer must be a good foot deep to judge by how close seat of Adirondack chair be to top of leaves

be that a bottle holder hiding behind the Arnie High Plains?

Formosan rampant lions - who'd a thunk back in the boom we'd see such a day?!?!

The anodizing and markings are long gone from the bottle holder, and the legs on those chairs are super short, which is probably why some one was giving 6 away. I have most of them spread around the property so I can keep an eye on my kid as he meticulously explores every inch of the hedge.

Found 4 houses down on the way to church. I’ll assess it later. It’s a 730 Multitrack

Looks like it has spent way too much time out in the rain!

It sat out overnight. Chain is not rusty and the givers take care of their other things so I’m cautiously optimistic.

Looks like a big paradox to me. Frame, most components, wheels, tires, and especially the chain look almost virginal. But the crank looks like, yeah, it's lived outside. Definitely a good pick-up.

I know. I had planned to clean and flip it but the size has potential for multiple people in our short family plus there are some really nice features of the 700 series Multitracks. Time to focus on some other project and save this one for later. The price was certaily right.

Oh! I missed that that was a Multi-Track. Good get. I have a MT 750 and rides way nicer that you'd think it should. They are fabulous bikes.

GREAT SCORE !!!

It STILL amazes me what people throw away......

Glad we have others that " find" and put items to use :):)

I was hopeful as our "trash" day is Friday and this showed up on Sunday morning. I do agree what people with throw away and replace it with.

FREE from a really nice young German couple who are returning home after living in Dublin the past couple years. Two flat tyres, but the dynamo lights work, wheels are true, BB & headset are smooth, nothing is stuck. 3-speed Sachs Torpedo IG rear hub also working well.

I'm in the process of refreshing it right now, respraying the rusty fenders, rack and mounts, rewiring the lights, touching up the frame. Am actually looking forward to taking it for a spin, it weighs a ton but could be useful with panniers.

The Wheel Goes Around

This bike came in a package deal from a garage sale 3 years ago, I tuned it up and had it as an extra, in my garage, for shorter riders. My neighbor, knowing I was a "bike guy", asked if I had a bike she could "borrow" for a few days while some friends were visiting. A few weeks later I asked how the bike was treating her? She smiled and said she was hoping to borrow it for a few more weeks, I laughed and said, "sure, I know where you live". I saw her out on the bike fairly frequently and in the meantime I bought a few better ones that went in the garage where that one had lived. One day when she was tending her garden I said why don't you just keep that one, it seems like it is working for you. Fast forward 2 years, to today, she hollers over the fence, "hey, do you want that bike back?" She inherited a couple of nice bikes, so this one came back to me. This bike no longer has a slot in the garage, so i will put a new tube in the front wheel, quick hit on the rust (her garage does not seal well and we are on the water) and make sure everything works and then I will pass it on to another friend who needs a bike ride with his kids.

Apparently the people at this auction didn't know the value of this Burley Encore X. I snagged it for $21. Perfect for the grand babies! (sorry it's not classic or vintage, just a great catch)

Its perfectly C+V, Grandpa pulling possible future C+V'rs along. ;)

Very true, I'm already looking for a couple Stingrays for them :)

Not too shabby for $20. The bolts are rattling around in the base. I'll loctite the pivot bolt when I put it back together.

How large is that thing. Judging by the ground around it, pretty big!

The Jaws are 6 1/2" and it weighed 60lbs with the pintle mount.
