Fender, chainguard, seatpan, etc. Just a great small portable anvil.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/1 Dahon Mu + Parts

Postby kingfish254 on Fri Jun 01, 2012 2:57 pm

Went to a Friday yard sale at lunch. Found a Dahon Mu frame (complete bike is about $700+) along with a Seatpost, Schwalbe Marathon tire and other parts. I can probably get $150 or more for the frame as is.
(Stripped frame and sold it on ebay)

And this wheel. Shimano 9 speed hub with avid disk and Bontrager Ranger rims.

I also bought some more rims and some aluminum from the tall bike artist. The rims are Dahon Kinetix, so they will be going on ebay.
Nice aluminum. Two gauges.

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/10 Another Anvil + Leather Saddle

Postby kingfish254 on Sun Jun 10, 2012 7:27 pm

I have said it before that I am constantly amazed how often I will find something at a yard sale shortly after my wife or I decide we need something.
I had never even heard of a cobbler's until I saw the one pooroldlu bought. I imediately bought one on ebay. Well I should have waited another week because guess what I bought for $3 Saturday? Another cobbler's anvil.

Image

Also picked up this gang tools, bottle opener, springs, and tea strainer for $2. I think the tea strainer could make a cool taillight. The battery terminal clamp seems like it would be a cool way to mount something to a chainstay.

Image

Picked up this cocktail shaker for a a buck. It may become the spring cover on FlexLiner 7.

Image

Stopped by Star Bike to drop off my Nexus 7 to be laced and bought this leather saddle from a storage closet they have.

Picked up some odd items yesterday.
Cool copper cheese shaker that will make an awesome taillight.
Small vise
Some hammered copper plates for the material . Who knows what they will be used for.

Well guess what I found at a yard sale for $5

Re: Kingfish254's Finds 6/30 Phillips Manhattans

Postby kingfish254 on Sat Jun 30, 2012 8:48 am

Had a good yard sale morning. Check out this pair of Phillips (Raleigh) Manhattans that I picked up. Both have SA 3 Speed Generator hubs, front and back lights, bells, tire pump, and really cool seatube decals. The mens bike also has a neat stem mounted rear view mirror and a nice color matching seatbag with original tool kit inside.

I have never seen a lugged cantilever before and wasn't even aware that Raleigh made any cantis during this era. I am guessing late 50s to mid 60s.

I also picked up this cooler for a future build and got a free Lobster Lovers Beer (9.5%).

Not bad for $2.
