More stuff for the Bianchi. A big thanks to @petritl for the stem, bars, and a water bottle cage (not shown). Also scored the correct Bianchi branded Sheffield pedals and Universal calipers from EBay Italy. This thing is nickel and diming me to death. After a lot of research I also think the paint is just a little too green so I'll be stripping and repainting this one. V/r Shawn

I picked up this 1996 20" Steel Framed 18 Speed Fila Pepsi Mountain Bike. The bike is in nice condition for its age and does not appear to have much use. From what I can find, it was part of a 90's Pepsi Point Award Program that allowed people to purchase Pepsi themed products with accumulated award points.

More Info can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi_Stuff
"Pepsi Stuff is a major loyalty program launched by Pepsi Co, first in North America on March 28, 1996[1] and then around the world,[citation needed] featuring premiums — such as T-shirts, hats, denim and leather jackets, bags and mountain bikes[1] — that could be purchased with Pepsi Points through the Pepsi Stuff Catalog or online. Customers could acquire points from specially marked Pepsi packages and fountain cups."

There was some controversy in the add campaign where Pepsi offered a Harrier Jet within this same program, and then refused to award the prize when someone actually accumulated the required 7 Million Pepsi Points with the help of investors. Pepsi then sued the customer claiming the TV Add they ran was just a joke.

I also found these 1920's Era Patented Book Themed Banks, and a nice lot of dirty cast Iron cookware that will need to be cleaned up and re-seasoned.

Edit: No keys for the banks. The Blue One has something small in it (maybe the key, but I don't know what yet. The other two I was able to pick, but the blue ones lock is a little more complicated than the other two. It also has a little double sided spring loaded trap type door that closes once coins are pushed though, so you cant shake stuff out.

All the cast Iron pieces are USA Made, and the thrift store had them marked at 3$ a piece. They also had cleaner China made pieces that they actually had priced for more. I left the china pieces for someone else.
