Junk find

[flhxri]

My dad found this bike in the junk. I just fixed the grip shifter and really dig it. I plan on just cleaning it up a little, makin kind of a free wheeler out of it. I don't really care that it's a girls bike

Nothing better than saving a bike from the junk pile. Nice score.

Thanks, I think it has some potential. I found a bike similar at a thrift store today. It has a three speed hub also. I only paid 5 bucks for it and I think with the two bikes I can make one good one.

There you go rip 'em apart and bash one together. 5 bucks well spent.

Nice, cool that you saved it from being junked and even more so on finding a similar one too.

Yeah the other one is a 24 incher. I am debating if I should throw the rims and the grip shifter on my Schwinn typhoon. Not sure what I should do. That 26 inch jc penny is so light and with the 3 speed hub it will probably really cook! Oh the choices!
