here is what I have scored in the last two months

I live directly across the street from the Fireman's office and I know they've been having trouble with the new landlord. A develper bought the property and is kicking everyone out to build a crystal farm or something. That could have been the issue for the delay.

You aren't kidding!!! I just scored 2 mind blowers. Pics and details soon.

Love the garbage, garage sale, resale shop finds. It makes you feel like you got away with something.

Actually, mine ended up coming from a six-degrees-of-kevin-bacon kinda story... and it's second-hand at best.

I was scanning the Austin craigslist (figured they're made there, so maybe...) and found another cat lookin' for one, and I emailed him "you find two, lemme have one, and vicey-versa"... he sends me a craigslist posting from Seattle, and I give him dibbs but he passes (Thanks, Clayton!) and the seller and I make a deal. He goes outa town with my paypal sent, and I don't hear from him for like a month. Yikes!

It all worked out, though.

It's old -- serial number 28 was made in 2000 according to Greg at Fireman's -- and very used, but now it just needs cranks and brakes and I'll be riding the hell outa it. I am very pleased with it, and very sorry to hear they're having real estate issues.

Any pictures of the Direct Link yet?!?!?!?!?

I wanna see...pa pa pa Please!!!!
Heres my F&F !!!!

Sorry for the delay on pics. Been busy w/ work and getting our floors ready for concrete staining. I'll get some up by the end of the day. They're all partially disassembled in the photos.

The Fireman's is serial number FMTX 072. Non-Looptail. It was partially stripped and came w/ crappy parts, but it should powder up nicely. It's going to be a suprise build, next year, in my wife's college (UNI) colors.

I do have pics of the GBH Cruiser frame. Anyone know anything about these? One big bummer, it has a big ding in the drive side seatstay.

Rather than delay, here's the pics of the Direct Link.

... and the Fireman's 26.





It did come w/ the correct fork too.

Ok, I have some more....

King Sting

One other score. It's a big one!

227th unit of May 1981 Kuwahara KZ-1. Landing Gear Forks, Bullseye Hubs, Shimano DX Pedals, MSC Stem, etc...

i scored tis a couple days ago.....not bad

man...you guys are KILLING me! I haven't scored around here in God knows how long...

I mean, I live out in the sticks and all, but still...

Totally lovin that DG. And that Direct Link looks to have Hutch forks on it. Nice! Nice score on that KZ too! Man, I got some catchin up to do .


Doug

If anyone is interested in the Kuwahara, Direct Link, or the King Sting, hit me up w/ an offer. I'll be posting them in the "for sale" section in the next month or two if there's no bites.

freestyle bike in the BMX section? i always hated freestyle......those awful Haro colors....

I guess September was a good month for scores...two weeks ago I picked up a 81 JMC Standard Long with what I believe to be 83 Standard forks...I bought it off two guys fishing off the end of the Hermosa Beach pier. $120 for the complete bike.
