Cleared $200 profit from the Cannondale in less that 72 hours!!!
This more than covers the cost of the parts below, so I guess I got some free parts!

Had two packages waiting for me when I got home tonight.
I am really digging the cross bars for starsNbars. The huge kickstand is definitely going on too.

The coolest part is the Gaskill Hop Shop Higgins rack. I thought the lettering was painted on, but it is actually masking tape that has been varnished over. It's held up incredibily well considering that I am the 3rd RRBer to own this since Gaskill sold it to Tyler.

It's so cool to own two items from such a skilled artist (not a doodad king ;))!

Seems like I've had those parts in My Shop for quite awhile ,Thought it was about time too pass them along ,I have quite a few people passing though and it was always fun to watch them try to guess what that rack was ...I guess if your not a Classic Bike person its hard too make heads or tails out of some things ..
Enjoy !

I'll definitely enjoy this piece. The lettering is pretty basic but so vintage hot rod too. I still think it is so cool that it is actually plain old masking tape. Kinda gives the tank a mixed media art piece vibe. THANKS AGAIN.
 
Please pardon that interruption. Back to our regularly scheduled program.
I took this pic tonight to try and show the wicked masking tape lettering that Gaskill did on this rack. Too cool for school!!!!

Ya know, I never noticed it was masking tape!

That's the genius of it! You don't really notice it at all. The numbers on the speedo are masking tape also and I bet the 696 on your Speed Demon skirt guards were too. I didn't see it until I looked close at how the lettering was done and I saw that it had a cool texture to it and then I realized ... wow, that's masking tape. Very cool technique.

Good to see such good members get things worked out ! As to the glass bags, they sure are cool. Maybe aftermarket bags used on any motorcycle or bike.

I don't know if I would go that far. It's more fair to say that we are two grumpy old men that don't see eye to eye and agree to disagree. :bigboss:

The saddlebags are definitely aftermarket. Their a bit too nice to be for a bicycle, I am pretty sure these are motorcycle aftermarket. Still trying to price them out before I put them on ebay.
 
Slow day at yard sales. I only got 3 cans of red primer for $1 and a bag of tools for $4. But as I was riding down the lane with starsNbars, I found two like new Co Pilot child bike seats laying next to the trash. I googled them and saw that these suckers sell for $130 new!!!! I snatched them up and only had to take them a block away to my house. I should be able to sell these for close to what I paid for my starsNbars frame. They may not look like much, but to me they look like a FREE 1938 Hawthorne Twin Bar. :D
SOLD for more than what I paid for my starsNbars frame.

Picked up this Specialized Hardrock Sport for only $50 on CL today. All it needs is air, wash down, and chain lube. I should easily clear enough profit to pay for my Worksman three speed wheels and BOA tires on starsNbars.
SOLD
