If you ever want to sell the Hurley wheels let me know. I can dream up something to put them on. Possibly a non-Felt build because none of my 8 Felts have Felt wheels on them.

I'll let you know if I change my mind, but for now I just can't release these from my stash.
 
Does anyone remember the Odd Rods bubble gum cards/stickers? When I decided to jump into the MBBO, I ordered these to use some of them as spoke cards on Afterburner X53/254.

Picked up this Pabst Blue Ribbon pony keg. Probably sell it on ebay. It would be perfect for a rat trike cooler or trailer though.
SOLD

I enjoyed the Rocco and Cheaters "American Pickers" episode and ordered a shirt and decals from the Speed Shop.
I love the graphics for the hot rod monster riding the hand.

Scored big today on a box of about 40 1960s-70s Motorcycle manuals. I only paid $3 for the whole box. I just finished looking at what these actually sell for on ebay and I should easily clear well over $700 for them!!!!!!!!
View attachment 5867

I way underestimated the value on these motorcycle manuals.
I think I may have just had my highest percentage return on an ebay item. I bought a box full of 60s-70s motorcycle rider's manuals from a yard sale for a nickel a piece. I thought I was doing great averaging $38 each for the first six that I sold. I just sold this 1962 Yamaha Production Racer manual for $100. That is 200,000% profit!!!

Picked this up on craigslist today. It's a 1949 Schwinn DX frame with a mix of parts added to it.
I believe the wheels are from a 1980s Cruiser 5 since they have the mega spokes and the Atom Drum brake rear hub.
Whoever built this bike in Florida took the 5 speed freewheel off and added a skiptooth single speed freewheel to it.
It has a skiptooth sweetheart chainring.
I am not sure what the fenders came from.
It's geared pretty high. I am going to put some are in the tires and go for a ride in a bit.
