You know it's a bad headwind when you have to pedal to go downhill.

BIKES FOR SALE

I am culling the herd. Pictures will be up tomorrow. I am selling three bikes. Two are old coaster brake cruisers, a red boys Monarck and a blue women's/step-through Hiawatha. They are not in perfect shpe, and could both use a tune up. the real prize is an old schwinn from, oh, probably the 80s. I know you will skoff at this Nick Ray, but this is a good bike. It is a good lugged steel frame, with decent components and upright straight bars. I don't know what the model is, but it is similar to the Traveler, World Traveler, and Sprint models, so it is not one of the older super heavy schwinns and is not one of their newer pieces of shit. It has nearly new kevlar tires, and the wheels are straight. I am selling it at Sunrise Cyclery for a normal $150, but I thought I would see if any of you folks are looking for a bike. If you are, I will take $100. I anyone is interested I'll put pictures up. Also, if anyone is interested in the cruisers they are also going to sunrise, but if anyone wants one I'll sell them each for $20.

I'll measure them. Who is Em? Emma? Emily Holm? I should warn you, shipping a bike costs about a minimum of 75 dollars.

I have not measured the schwinn, but it kind of a tall bike.

I went by the farm yesterday, and i was suprised to see it hasn't burned down yet... Gracias Mucho Alejandro. And yes i DO have your guerilla warfare book, it's on my desk. It's the only thing that reminds me of your existence, so feel free to take it off my hands sometime! :D

And I don't want to sound mean or anything, but you're leaving soon right?? cuz that would be greeaaaat ;)

I just can't wait for the 20th....

The people at the Alt said it would only be 40ish dollars. Plus, if the red cruiser would fit then it's better to pay for the shipping than to be bikeless. And this is Emma. I commented before! It's your old friend Emma Weinstein. Remember?

Leo Alex Heegaard-LeGros said...

Of course I remember emma, it's just that there are multiple emmas.

All the bikes are still here, still for sale, if anyone is interested. If not, I don't mind just biding my time.

Emma, if the alt will do it for 40 bucks, that is awesome. it's possible that the price they gave you is only the bill for them to box the bike. It usually costs around 50 dollars to send a bike through fedex ground, but if you can get a deal, sweet! It still may be easier to just buy a bike out on the east coast.
