2009-06-13 Babytrend Double Jogger

Yet another Babytrend Douile jogging stroller. This one is entirely typical, needs air in the tyres and oil on latches and has some fading. Once cleaned up it is a fine and useful device that will prove useful to some nice family yet to introduce themselves to us via a connective service such as the list of craig.

2009-06-12 Quickie Wheelchair

This Quickie RX wheelchair is in fine shape and is overall a pretty nice device. It was discarded into the garbage by the local branch of the Red Cross. This surprises us a somewhat as we had always imagined that one of their core competencies was giving stuff to people who need it. No worries though, we were there to salvage it and we shall find a new owner for it, probably via the list of craig.

2009-06-11 Saint Tropez Bike

This mildy random Saint Tropez 3-speed bike was found at the side of the road with the red Schwinn Breeze. It is a little beat up but has great promise as hipster transport.

2009-06-10 Schwinn Breeze

This Schwinn Breeze bike was one on two sitting by the side of the road. Our correspondent on the scene could not carry them on the vehicle he was using at the time. He put them behind a barn and went back five days later to retrieve them with a suitable vehicle. Now that is a friend with initiative.

It is slightly scruffy but it has great hipster bike appeal to certain demographics we have access to.

2009-06-09 Peg Perego Atlantico

This Peg Perego Atlantico model pushchair has slightly faded fabric and is missing the little bar thingy across the front. Despite these issues somebody will probably want it as this is a handy dandy offspring transportation device.

2009-06-08 Spalding bike

This random Spalding Blade bike was in pretty sorry shape when we picked it up but not much has really changed! It has been restored along the "Mad Max" lines to give a pretty nice ridable machine. Though there is a reasonable chance that the hipster who buys it will never ride it.

What is with Spalding making bikes anyway (yes, yes, we know they probably did not actually make this)? Is it for riding round the golf course or something? The business-weasel phrase "focus on our core business" springs to mind....

2009-06-08 Raleigh Grand Prix

This Raleigh Grand Prix road bike was found more or less stripped, but parts from various places and other junky bikes have resurrected it nicely. This was built to order for a weekend hipster friend of ours, though she may go for the Spalding when she sees it.

2009-06-07 Steering Lock

This handy dandy steering lock was found complete with key. It is not the most secure thing in the world but sometimes handy to brandish.

2009-06-07 Roadway Beach Cruiser

This Roadway QC-1 beach cruiser did not look like this when we picked it up. In fact it looked 50 years old and as if it had spent that time in a barn. The dust washed off and the chrome cleaned up to give this junky bike that will win some female hipster's heart by virtue of its colour.

2009-06-07 Peg Perego P3

Yet another Peg Perego Pliko pushchair, this time the more recent P3 model. Due to the combination of robust fabric, nice colour and good condition we may keep this one and sell all previous Plikos. We were flirting with the idea of keeping the brown one found last week but this is nicer.
