Along with the great selection of double joggers we got this single Baby Jogger jogging stroller today. The front tyre was bald, which is not really a big deal, but we replaced it anyway.
This GT Vertigo Freestyle BMX is in fine shape modulo the surface rust in some places. It has never really been used, more neglected. It will find a new, hopefully less neglectful, owner via the list of craig.
This random Huffy 3-speed bike is pretty spiffy looking after a spot of cleaning etc, but it is still junk. It was one of the batch of four and will join the others, it does look spiffy enough to attract hipster purchasers though.
This AMF 3-speed bike is a right catastrophe of design, but it does look pretty shiny after our lavish detailing attention. It will probably end up the fashion toy of a hipster, like the other two wheeled conveyances from the batch of four.
We actually think that the rear dropouts look somewhat like a hurley stick.
This Huffy Regal is anything but. It does however clean up in a nice superficially shiny way so it will find a home as a retro fashion accessory. For the detail minded among you this has a twist grip two cable 5 speed derailleur, that actually still works and needs no adjustment! What a load of junk. Part of the batch of four.
This AMF 3 speed is one of a batch of four found late one night by the side of the road. It is really ugly and unpleasantly executed but it has the same seventies coolness that a AMC Gremlin might have. It cleaned up pretty well and rides as well as it ever did during its neglected life so somebody will probably wish to exhibit their retro hipster cred by purchasing it from us.
These two Topeak bike seats were found within a short window of time. They will both be farmed out via the list of craig to happy new owners. We hope. The pics shows them in the raw, they will be cleaned first of course.
This small black rucksack is seemingly configured for a person with a lot of tech toys and their attendent chargers, dongles and whatnot. While this might not apply to us it might come in handy at some point.
These two Maclaren pushchairs were found within a short time. First one was almost unused and was complete with accessoriess bag and such. The second had a chocolate stain on it, possible reason for discard?
Yet another Graco Duo Glider stroller in nice condition. After a quick clean to remove the dust this will be fit to meet the nice people who will contact us about it via the list of craig. Though it may have to wait as we have a couple in stock now.
This offspring flotation device is all shiny and new and does not really seem to have been used much. That is not a problem, it was tested out the same day and proved satisfactory at preventing submersion of offspring.
Yet another Chicco Highchair, this one is in some ways super fancy but has damage to the cover. It will eventually find a new home.
This Schwinn Prelude road bike is in fine shape and just needed air in the tyres to be perfectly ridable. All well and good.
This Ross Pocono mountain bike is pretty junky but after some oil and new gear cables is somewhat useful. We will see who ends up on it, a craigslister or a summer intern.
This later model Peg Perego Pliko pushchair (not sure if it is a P3?) is in OK shape except for being missing a useless piece of plastic and being pretty grimy inside. We may use this in place of our older model Pliko so it will be detailed, we suspect, followed by deployment in the service of offspring transportation.
Within a short space of time we found double and single Peg Perego Aria strollers. They all seem in fine shape, mostly just in need of a wash and such. Both of these will be sent to tantalise idle readers of the list of craig.
Update: Both sold within 24 hours of their initial exposure on the list of craig, These must be hot items as many people wanted them, we shall keep an eye out for more.
Somebody had thrown out more or less all the clothes needed for offpring from age one to 7. We picked through the huge pile and the pic below shows about a third of what we picked up. A lot of these items are really good stuff and will be deployed in the pursuit of protecting our offspring from the ever present threat of charges of indecent exposure.
This Misfit Rhino BMX is a little rusted in places and beat up in others but should clean up well enough to make some misfit juvenile very happy at some stage. Intermediate steps might include oil, adjustment and indexing on the list of craig.
Update: Mouse over the picture to see it in slightly shinier condition.
This Instep Elite jogging stroller is in fine shape except for the tyres, weirdly one of them is worn down to the fibre under the rubber. It seems tricky to wear out a jogger tyre like that, onne would think. New tyres from stock and this should be sent off to the list of criag to seek its fortune.
We found two Britax car seats within a short space of time, both recent enough to use and all very handy. One is pretty dirty due to the previous occupant being given free reign over foodstuff beyond their capabilities but that is easily remedied.
