I was afraid I might run out of bikes so I picked up some more today!
one never made it home it was a minty powder blue Ross womens 10 speed but it was a cheapie so I let it go cheap :)
here is a pretty nice late 70s Schwinn World Sport and a fair 87ish Schwinn Sprint nice flippers :)

From one addict to another. I think it is time for some "Invervention." :p

I know, I know... Practice what I preach.

these were about to die and go to Bicycle heaven
they were at the county landfill
Luckily a friend of mine runs the Scale house and sets bikes aside for me :)
the crusher is scheduled for Thursday so these were facing eminent death!

the college girls just giggle when I tell them I have baskets for their lightweights they buy :)

I volunteer at a bike co-op at my school, and everybody loves baskets. They hold all sorts of good stuff. Namely six of your favorite beverage.

I've probably told you this before, but whatever school you live near has it made. You find (often discarded) bikes, make them solid, and sell them. Considering your starting prices on theBay, they probably aren't expensive. Props. :)

Re: ummm I have a serious problem (updated 11-29)

but at $8 a pair for the bikes I couldn't leave them behind... besides I wouldn't want to run out of bikes around here!

Looks like shifter cable guides.

That rear hub has three yellow bands?

those are the cable braze ons for a threespeed shifter cable
I have never had a single speed one of these but I would have thought they wouldnt have been put on a single speed bike
maybe it was converted years ago but it all looks original to me
