This small collection of bike parts came from a couple of bike carcasses. They will be filed away so that another bike may be resurrected at some point in the future.
This conveniently pre-aged bluestone showed up and was purloined for a friend who wishes to deploy a garden path to lead people up. All well and good. There was a fair bit more present but somebody had emptied a bunch of wet concrete over some of it and glue it into a large bluestone ansd concrete mass.
This Schwinn Speedster bike and a Rollfast beach cruiser were being tossed by a nice chap. We picked them up and applied some spit and polish to the Schwinn to make it hipster ready. Now that that is a fine yellow thingy.
No picture of the Rollfast yet, it has tentatively been given to somebody's daughter.
This stainless Posi-Flo pool filter unit is not especially interesting except for the fact that somebody of our acquaintance requested something like this for a project. The tank-ness of it is what they want we think, not the filter-ness. Yours if you want it Ben.
This Stihl 039 chainsaw carcas will prove useful to somebody via an introduction on ebay, so will be sent there forthwith. Used Stihl machines are a treasure trove of handy parts.
This Raleigh 400 mountain bike had dead suspension forks. The bike itself is not so bad but the forks were lowest possible quality. We traded in some other garbage sourced bike parts for these Rockshox forks. After a clean up and some fiddling the bike is more or less ready to go.
Update: It seems this frame is under recall. Hmmm.....
This Maclaren Pushchair had a bent axle when we found it, probably driven over backwards by a large vehicle with horrible visibility. That is presumably the reason for discard. The axle straightened up nicely in about 30 seconds, once removed, and it was all put back with some oil to give a super smooth running stroller. This seems to be some funky European model of Maclaren, seemingly not sold in the US. Oooooh, grey market specialness, we will see whether the readers of the list of craig covet this item.
This special turd drill seems be in working condition and will come in handy because we do not have one. Previously we have always borrowed one.
This bike trainer came with the recent Schwinn road bike but we only just got around to cleaning it up. It will attempt to hook up with a new owner on the list of craig.
This small Giant mountain bike had a flat rear tyre but is otherwise in OK shape. Some parts on it seem to be new and others used, no matter. Earmarked for Hal's cousin?
This Graco Duo Glider double stroller is in fine shape and needs just a wash before being put back into service with some nice people sent to us by the list of craig. We have a slight glut of these right now but we will see about fixing that.
This Schwinn was found without a rear wheel. That is a little strange as it had obviously been used on a bike trainer treadmill, i.e. without the front wheel. Oh well, we plonked one on from stock and will see how it is. We also got the treadmill thingy as people seem to like those.
This Road Runner Sport jogging stroller has humungous rear wheels on it and is generally in spiffy condition. The brake needs a little tweaking but that will be fine.
This Peg Perego Pliko P3 pushchair is in OK used shape except for having a couple of broken wheels on the front left. Luckily, we, or more specifically the Verrückte Tante, know how to get a whole new castor arrangement for very little money. Spiffy, restored and will be lovingly sold to somebody who needs it.
