Re: TheFlyingDingo's Fresh bikes-Updated:6-6

Thought i might post a Trash-Day-Report
TDR...
So i can report on how my trash day findings were and how my competition with metal scrappers were, maybe it will prove interesting...Like this:

Competition with scrappers:NONE
Weather:perfect
Findings: A cool Chair...Red with a retro insert of brown/red/orange...good use for seat recovering...but i didnt get it. Ive been fighting to get about 6 bikes around town...and not one person will budge...and half probably even realize they exist...

Re: TheFlyingDingo's Fresh bikes-Updated:6-16-Schwinn Varsity Q

I got an original Varsity saddle and a set of Varsity drop bars, which would bump the value of the bike up a bit.

Fully functional, in that condition, you could easily get $100 for that thing, if not more.
