Wore out three sets of tires already!
Finally had a decent day to paint my garage doors. Finally the purple is back!

Got the Moody Blues thanks to @my560sec Ed had these on Ebay and they fell into the "want" ( don't really need, but love these OG colored U.S. Royal Chain/U.S.A. tires) category and if nothing else, they look good beside the Schwinn Hornet @bobcycles restored and sold me many years ago. It has OG NOS Schwinn Typhoons ( among other NOS OG goodies aboard) so I doubt I'll put them on the bike. I "dressed" the Chain links with my vaseline treatment, then let them sit in the sun and they were pretty minty NOS when they arrived ( thanks Ed!)
but brighten up even more with some lube.

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
My best friend helped me clear out some big stuff from an estate sale another friend put on & he gave be a 13" rubber chicken to entertain myself!
And not really into cards but do like bicycles. Haven't seen these before so had to save 'em from the 'Trash' pile.

Bike from the Dead
I live for the CABE
I picked up 3 free bikes this past week, and one $3 record!
First, on Tuesday, I finally got to meet with the seller of this '80s Schwinn Cruiser when he came by Dad's shop in Sapulpa. I was looking at the bike for the fork, but unfortunately, the steerer tube is a 1/2 inch too short for the bike I wanted to use it on. I might have another bike I could use it on instead though... He was originally asking $25 for it, but after talking about our bike projects for a bit, he just gave it to me! After I loaded the parts in my car, I happily gave him the grand tour of my dad's shop, which he loved. Looking forward to catching this guy at more events!
When I brought it home, I slapped it together just to see how it would've looked originally. It's cool, but I don't really need another Schwinn cantilever frame, especially in this shape. Still, it has plenty of good parts I can use on other bikes, so it was worth picking up!
I really love the bike shop decal, especially since I had just returned from the Springfield Bicycle Swap Meet the prior week!
I still need to look up the serial number.
The frame's not in the best shape, but I may cut it up and use the good tubes for a custom build down the line...
I also bought this Johnny Cash record for $3 at a shop I stopped by to look at PSP repairs. It's got some heavy fuzz, but at least it didn't skip when I played side 1!
And then just earlier today, I came across these 2 free bikes on Marketplace, not even a mile away from home!
I took some time late this afternoon washing off all the dust, and aired up the tires. This little 16" bike might need some work to be rideable again (if I don't gut it for parts,) but that Mongoose Dirt Jumper 682 was ready to ride! The tires held air, it pedaled fine, and it stops so hard it left a skidmark on the driveway! My phone camera sees the blue color wrong; it's more of a greenish-blue than it appears in photos.
Something interesting I noticed about this bike is that although it uses a 3-piece crank, the bottom bracket looks like it could fit on any bike that uses a single-piece crank! I might be able to use this bottom bracket assembly on a future klunker build, if I decide to part this bike out.
I changed the seat to make it easier to ride, as I hate using those rigid plastic seats that modern BMX and mountain bikes use. I need some taller handlebars to go with it though. I don't know what my exact plans are for this bike yet, but it could either make a nice BMX cruiser with a few modifications, or I could use the parts on one of my older frames to make more of a klunker/bomber build. I plan to get it out and ride it as-is for a bit before I decide.
