Look Ma, No Hands!
its the thrill of the hunt.i have been buying and selling bikes since the early 1970's.and the past few years ive stepped up my game buying and selling alot of bikes.i usually look for unique things but if i see even a few dollars to be made flipping a bike i usually go for it.i have maybe 15 bikes in storage that i really love but also maybe 45/50 that are parts and fixers and every day riders.it is an addiction i keep saying no more bikes.but then i sell one and end up buying another sometimes more.I went to the lakeside neighborhood yard sales in the next town over, when I drove thru I saw the normal yard sale stuff. If I saw a bike I would stop and look, now this part I don't understand, the place is packed and nobody bought this bike priced at $5 so I did, it's a Windsor 10 speed in really good shape, she said it was bought in the 80s and just hung in the garage. Loaded it and rode around and seen another bike so I stopped, another $5 bike, its a Ross in nice shape so I bought it, from the 80s I think,, now I don't need or really like these bikes but I can't resist the $5 deal. I can't figure out if it's the good deals or the sickness I have. The Ross has the shifter coming out of the coaster brake side and not the cog side like I've always seen. I knocked the dust off and they both look like great investments. Would anyone else pass on a $5 bike, for some reason I can't. Apparently people around here don't need $5 bikes.
