Five bikes off to the co-op!
Three for the co-op to sell, two for work trade.
Crazy shift tonight - busy from open to close. Someone left a GT MTB and two boxes of parts at the gate - a whole bunch of gunky shifters in there for future cleaning. I spent a lot of time helping a person resurrect a rusty abandoned backyard bike - it went OK, except re-cabling the twist shifters was the usual fun n' games, and I thought the front derailleur was frozen for a moment until I realized a past owner had tightened both limit screws securely. Not gonna get much shift range that way...
Back to one of those bikes I brought in for work trade. I was pulled aside by someone who had claimed it for his work hours, and he was complaining the rear brakes weren't working right.
"Where are the tags?"
"What tags?"
"The tags on the handlebar and the rear brake both clearly stating the rear brake needs replacement?"
"Oh, I tore those off. I never read them anyway."
Another fun volunteer day. But good all in all, amd I reduced the pile of bikes in my back yard by five for a worthy cause.
