That bikes probably worth a bit of money Joe , the boys bikes are a lot harder to find than the girl bikes are .

Green dragon, thanks for the info on the bike. Here's another one we have: Dad bought this one brand new for my Mom in 1983.

BTW I like that white bike you dumped. All of the bikes that I ever find in dumps are missing just about everything.

Got another bike today at the junk pile to work on. Needs more work than the other one. Huffy Bay Pointe.

 

[Bottles r LEET]

Been working on the bike over the last few days. I've taken a lot of the parts off of it to be fixed. Has a bent sprocket, this was probably why it was parked.

Finally finished the Huffy. Had a bent sprocket, bent rim, bent frame, and bad tires. I also needed to clean everything chrome on it. I think that it might have gotten backed over by a car at some point. I can see why they parked it.

Huffy with its comrade. Maybe if the weather stays this warm I can be riding them by April. Might get another one to work on, not sure. Kenda tires I buy are nice and cheap.

Might want to start finding boys bikes or you're gonna have to turn in your "Man Card" for riding those...[8D] Nice job fixing them up

That's ok Jim, girl's bikes can be kinder to guys...[] and thanks.

thanks for the laugh..man card. nice job on the bikes Ryan. They look brand new!

I can't believe what people pay for the Schwinns I used to ride back in the 80's when I was in my teens. Saw a local guy that had 2 suburbans and wanted 800 for the pair and ended up selling them for 600! that's why i raided father in law's garage and pole barn and the woodshed at the farm. found schwinns, the Higgins and a 1cyl motor plus misc stuff...
