Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories

EDIT: I picked up both bikes for cheap. I should be able to sell the Royce Union ladies bike for a little more that I paid for the package deal. Translation = FREE CHOPPER!!!

Anyone ever heard of a Diamondback Drifter Chopper?

Looks like they may be just a little bit bigger than an OCC.

WHAT is THAT? A Harley scooter? What year? Isn't it amazingly overpowered?

Sweet looking bike, I saw one on Auction Kings...It sold for $800 I think. Still for $3800 I'd rather build one of these:

That would be a 1950's Cushman Eagle scooter with a Harley Davidson Screamin' Eagle drivetrain. Overpowered? Yes!That's the whole point of it! But the smaller wheels would make it slower than a standard Harley so it might not be that bad. I would certainly love to jam it through the gears and find out.

That reminds me of a co-op that used to wear a shirt like this.

In case the ad is deleted, I'll post the text as the bikes are just pair of beach cruisers:

"We bought these bikes at Academy a month ago rode them once for two hours so basically brand new , we realized there isn't anywhere to ride cruisers around here so we would like to get mountain bikes instead so my loss your gain."

Great idea telling all your prospective buyers they too won't have anywhere to ride these bikes.

Now remember he takes pictures of the wonderful paint that was there then strips it off to paint it yellow, luckily he got a reproduction for this slight of hand trick but follow his linky, look at his bestset work.......No wonder I don't mess with the antiques and vintage bikes.

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories

This is pretty cool. The price seems a little cheap.

Actually, that is the first one of those I've evere seen priced right: $100 motor on a $75 bike = $175.
Usually the genius mathematicians that build those bikes use this equation: $100 motor + $75 bike = $650. :roll:

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place then. The cheapest motor I could find was $150. I know its not worth $650. I figured maybe around $250. I guess I still have some learning to do. I'm still kind of new to the custom bike scene.

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories

$15 is an unreal steal for a Raleigh Twenty!!!!
But I don't feel like making the 4 hour roundtrip.
I sent the link to Wildcat again.

The 20 is gone already, waiting to hear on the Dyno. Take a nap and all kinds of good stuff shows up.
