Due to multiple issues, I have been keeping a super low profile recently. Mainly just lurking, and checking out the awesome 2013 build-off! I have had a bit of time to do some Craigslisting and picking over the last couple weeks, and found some fun stuff.
I picked this up last week. Bought from the original owner. I believe it is an early 70s Murray Eliminator. I don't usually go for banana seat bikes, but I can actually ride this one! It is in fairly good, survivor condition. The seat is really nice. No cracks or splits. Shifts like butter!
One of the local scrap guys finally dropped off something I want! An old Sears 24" trike with 3 speed rear end. She's rough, but everything works.
Spotted this in a local trailer court, along with a bunch of kiddy bikes and lawn mowers. I am thinking early 50s Spitfire with an aftermarket springer? It has a 24" rear wheel that is spider web laced. Sturmey-Archer drum brakes front and rear. Yes, those are profile cranks.
?
Oh! And I found this hanging in a barn. It's a Schwinn something or other. She's a bit rough, maybe I should put her out on the curb? :wink:
