This Felt Cafe 24 bike was tossed into a scrap metal facility and then mangled a litte by a bucket loader or some such. It got a little tangled with other junk. We managed to extract it and once home we put replaced the front wheel, bars, stem, seat post and seat from spares to get it back straight enough to ride.
It came out pretty nice considering the situation it was in.
This random Samsung flatscreen has bad backlights on one half. It is probably fixable and we may look into that. Or we may just give it away to somebody whose time/money tradeoff is different to ours.
A random pile of stainless steel switch surrounds of various types. Somebody may have a use for these.
A Graco Ready2Grow stroller. It is a cross between a DuoGlider style and a Sit-and-stand with lots of options for configuration. It probably works fine, but seems a little complex. Whatever, it has been rescued from the scrap metal and will now find a new home somewhere.
These two bike seat racks showed up together, the seats were not present but spare racks are often handy.
This is a Snow Joe litium ion battery snowblower. Or, more accurately, it is a snowblower shaped object. The battery was not far off fully charged when we dound it, everything works fine.
We suspect the reason for discard is that this thing probably does not work when the snow is more that a couple of inches deep, and even them only in the loosest definition of "work".
This Trek 520 is a pretty nice bike. We are never sure exactly what genre of bike this would be, but it is a road bike with cantilever brakes. Touring? Whatevere, it is a pretty nice machine.
