Yet another Babytrend Expedition double jogger. It should clean up and become functional enough.
A Combi Twin stroller. It is complete, looks a bit of a nmess and has a funny stain that should come out with out top secret super effective stroller cleaning protocols.
A couple of older woodworking machines. First a Dewalt radial arm saw, looks to be in OK shape, needs a tune up and some attention. We have no need for this and have given a couple away already so I helped some other random guy get it into the back of his trouck and gave him encouragement of cleaning it up and using it.
Also a Craftsman jointer planer. A bunch of surface rust and the blades are dull but it works pretty well. As we do not yet have one of tehse it will be cleaned up and given a good test. Obviously this is the as found, just tested pic. Note the woodchips as evidence of something.
A nice Columbia jogger. Sized for a pretty large offspring. It was missing some plastic, we replaced it with some bespoke wood slats. Expect this to start a trend.
A Sit-n-stand stroller. Pretty run of the mill by now, should find a new home at some point. Nothing wrong with it.
Uppababy, full bassinet, stroller seat setup. This is a pretty nice setup, has been carefully used for quite a while. It also has the little riding board.
A random mountain bike rear wheel, equipped for disk brakes. Looks in near new condition, weird.
Strangely, a complete Bugaboo Gecko frame. No fabric or netting. You sometimes see stuff like this where the frame has broken and is being replaced under warranty but this particular item seems all present and correct. We have at least one partial Bugaboo in stock so maybe we can now make a complete one.
It seems to be begging for use as a chassis for some arcane tech or art project. Ideas?
We picked up an older bike-shaped object. It was never ridden, thankfully, but was very old with super crap components. These were pretty much the only things on that thing that we felt were usable, so into a cup of boiling water, whip them off and ready for a new future bike that needs new grips.
All on one day, three brand new uninstalled sinks. Two of them were wrapped in their delivery packaging. Smallish, hand basin style sinks but three sinks nevertheless. We happen to have need of one such and we will sell the other two, we guess.
A Diamondback BMX-like bike. Good for a certain age of offspring. It had a starngely chafed brake cable sheath, easy to replace so we did.
A Gary Fisher Mako mountain bike. One possible flaw on it that might indicate a reason for discard was the classic "screw-it-down" quick release wheel install. The lever was flipped over backwards fully into the loose position, but then had been wrenched around to tighten up the skewer. The rusty chain is still fine, bike rides perfectly now that we fixed the rear wheel in place.
Extra Note, this mode of incorrect install of quick release wheels is such a common event for us that we really need a nice catchy phrase to describe it. We often see it on brand new bikes that were obviously assembled by idiots from flatpack, but it shows up a fair bit on bikes that have clearly been ridden, at least a little. Suggestions?
