2018-10-13 Diamond Back Sorrento

A Diamond Back Sorrento mountain bike, older, not super high end and slightly beat up. It will clean up to be a very functional ride for somebody.

2018-10-13 Bianchi Hybrid

This Bianchi Avenue hybrid has seen better days. We will give it a good check over and probably build it back up with new tires and seat and substantiable tuneup. A friend needs a bike and this will suit, once back in good shape.

This bike was suffering from numerous ailments, here is the list of problems and fixes:

• Both quick releases installed by somebody who does not know how a quick release works. Easily corrected and oil applied for good measure.
• Seat top missing. Replaced with used seat from spares, even a Bianchi.
• Both tires had rotted gumwalls, replacements from used stock applied.
• Rear shifter cable frayed and trash, brand new one applied.
• Front shifter seized, worked free with penetrant oil, existing cable reused.
• Front brake rusted up on the fittings. Replacement arms from used stock applied with new noodle and cable.
• Rear brake seized, freed up, lubricated and new cable applied.
• Pedals stiff, freed up with oil and working.
• Entire bottom of frame was crusted with mud, hosepipe and then oil all round.
• Chain is rusty crusty. We may clean it and reinstall or put on a new one.
• Kickstand angled to hit the wheel when raised, loosen, adjust, tighten, oil.

The satisfaction gained from making this bike work with minimal expenditure of money was significant. The expenditure of time was not minimal, but also worth it.

A Baby Trend Snap-n-go stroller frame thingy for those people unlucky enough to have had two offspring at the same time. Near new condition.

2018-10-06 Uppababy G-luxe

Uppababy G-luxe stroller, what a silly name. Never mind, handy little stroller for moving kids around, pretty light and sensible.

2018-10-06 Tool Box

This is a small metal tool box labeled "Bell System D". It turns out that it originally had a Snap-on ratchet and sockets in it. Empty now but we will find something to store in it.

2018-10-06 Snap and Go

Yet another snap and go stroller frame thingy. People always need these so it is worth a quick clean.

2018-10-06 Kids Bike

A random little Novara kids bike of no particular quality. Note, it is good as it allows kids of a certain size to learn how to use gears. As such we are pressing it into service and it performed fine on the way to the farmers' Market.
