A random neglected Raleigh M40 ladies mountain bike. Needs a clean, some air, some adjustment on the brakes but is otherwise fine and good to go.
A sort of nice Phil and Ted Verve stroller with lots of bits and pieces. We think it is all present and correct but it needs checking and a light clean.
A small Melita Coffee grinder complete with box. We have one like this that has suffered some breakge on the cap, so this might replace that items in the kitchen.
Giant Bella, some sort of kids bike. Had a broken rivet on the front mudguards, duly fixed and tested and tuned up and ready to go.
This is a random GT city cruiser bike with a belt drive. It certainly needed a tuneup when we got it and had some rusty bolts here and there but it has now cleaned up pretty nicely. The pic is of it in initial condition.
This is a pretty fancy bike, the frame is super light and it is nice to ride.
This is just a stroller frame made by Chicco but for some reason they felt the need to brand it the "Keyfit Caddy". Never mind the name, should be handy for somebody.
This is a pretty fancy Baby Jogger double City Select. It is seemingly missing the basket underneath and needs a clean but it has a car seat and some attachments and such. We will see what this looks like when cleaned up and checked out.
Yet another Baby Jogger City Mini, this one is slightly grubby and in need of a clean and a tuneup. Should be quite presentable and usable when done though.
A walking bike thingy from Decathlo's house brand for bikes, BTwin. We suspect this was carried to these shored by somebody who moved house. They were probably francophones.
This showed up in a dumpster and a friend grabbed it. He has one so it was dropped off with us We have one so we will rehome it, in whatever form that takes.
A random Schwinn Ranger bike that looks like it is targeted towards teenage girls or some such. No matter, a quick clean up and it is ready for a new rider.
A 40 foot extension cable. It is nice nd flexible rubber sheathed 16/3. The whole thing was filthy and muddy when we got it. The plugs were kind of nasty so we trashed those and will put new ones on at some point. Or we may use sections of this to upgrade power tools.
A string trimmer made by Homelite. It start and runs but when you take off the choke it dies within about 20 seconds. I suspect it just needs the jets cleaning.
No, not a larger rock on the landscape, but a bike made by the Giant brand for which they chose the model name Boulder. Piece of junk, toasted front tube, but easy enough for us to fix for somebody who wants a super cheap bike.
Another fine looking Kelty Kids rucksack. Found by the same friend who found the BOB today.
Graco stroller frame, yet another. I guess part of click connect system or soemthing.
A nice look BOB jogger with fancy car seat attachment. Picked up by a friend but will showcase his sensible work here. He now has one BOB stroller for each offspring.
Trek 720 small frame hybrid bike. Rear wheel was very bent, so we swapped on a new one, gave it a clean up and it is ready to go.
A Giant Innova. No, this is not some sort of large weird statistical analysis, but a bike. Rusty handledars replaced and some cleanup and it is ready to go. Pic was from before the cleanup.
This is a Rockwell wood shaper, or maybe a table router. You put router bits and other cutter head in there and pass wood over it to change the profile. It is heavy and old and it works fine. The surface rust will clean up. We are looking for a home for this amongst friends.
A low end random Delta stroller. No idea who Delta are and whether this is any good but it should not languish in the waste stream and should be given a chance to be useful again.
A randomly named Britax B-Agile stroller. Seems to be all present and correct, maybe needs a clean.
This is a tabletop belt sander, or band sander. It takes a 80 by 2.25 inch belt. It works fine but I cannot figure out who made it. We may give it a light restoration and use it as it or rebuild it into a vertical belt grinder.
Update: We ended getting a nice belt grinder from other sources so we sold this.
Kids size Trek MT220 mountain bike, 24 inch wheels. This was in really sparkling condition except for one missing hand grip and a worn and flat rear tyre. We think the kid who rode this just spent a few days doing rear wheel skids and then tossed it. Either way, easy fixes, tuned up and ready for some offspring to ride. Already tested.
A nice purple Phil and Ted double stroller, seem all present and correct but needed a good clean. A touch old but quite functional.
Yet another Maclaren Quest pushchair. Some damage to the foam hand grips but otherwise in very good condition. Cleaned and ready to go.
New foam grips are available pretty reasonably from Maclaren, it turns out.
This is a Sunshine Kids car seat. They are interesting in that while being very safe and functional they are incrementally narrower than most other comparable cars seats. Super handy if you have a smaller car or are trying to get 3 people in the back seat.
A random Graco Sit-n-stand style stroller, not super special but somewhat useful. It will be cleaned and made available for re-use.
A Babyjogger City Elite stroller. This is an older model but in very good condition and it has that killer fold mechanism that make this series of joggers so handy. Ready for a new home.
Uppababy Vista frame with bassinet attachment. Bassinet is in very good shape, the wheels might have an issue though. Worth fixing and rehoming, these are nice devices.
Teutonia T-Linx stroller, kind of fancy and modern. In perfect condition, good for a new small human to wriggle around in.
Mountain Buggy Swift single jogging/outdoors stroller. Pretty nice but has some wheels attachment/bearing issues. Worth fixing we think.
Graco Fastaction Fold Duo, what a bloody mouthfull of a name. This is transparently trying to rip off the Baby Jogger pull to fold mechanism. It is clearly lower quality and the hoods have a tenuous attachment mechanism. This thing touts membership of the Graco "quick connect system" family of offspring movement devices, could be useful, who knows. Either way we will be finding a new home for it.
