I got this for $50 and sold it for $150 within 24 hours. It was my first flip.

Right place at the right time...I hope...

Well, there’s your problem...
It’s a whole lot lighter than the old Schwinn Sportsters tandems I used to end up with!
Love these kick stands...roll on, roll off...actually holds the bike up!

I got a Race Face sleeveless bike shirt at a thrift store, and a box of chocolate twinkies, at the dollar store. Plus the required 5 liters of sodey-pop for the next day or so. 🙄😉

Cool stool...
Up to my arse in stools!
Free stools!
Thought this would be perfect for the computer area...nope...not steady enough for the misses...sooooo, out to the shop it goes!
A lot less work than I thought and better results...
Cleaning up good...
Goes high...

Sorry...don’t know why these are sideways!

I'm with you, Bill. I was riding down the road and saw a free chair on the curb. It was an old "Tanker-style" chair from the '50's. Solid as a tank. I'm going to rebuild it and keep it for the shop. It'll go as high as a regular office chair or as low as a mechanics stool. I often use a stool when working on bikes. Takes the pressure off the feet and knees.

Technium 440...1986...
Bought it from for the seat!
Original ‘cept for the seat.
Little too tall for me at 25”...
Only one little trouble spot on the front fork and it almost disappeared
Right on the mark! 24 1/2 lbs!
Love the seat stays/seat binder...
Good looking bike...an interesting bike...an interesting bicycle...
Love the skinny stays...
The reason...oh, and it hasinternal cables...
Never heard of this brand...fairly common...
Love this color combo...Mass. State Trooper colors...
Problem...?
...not really...
with a little cleaning...not really important on this bike!
Threw it up on the stand, pushed, pulled the derailleurs to their extremes, ran it through the gears...trouble free!
Shimano Light Action...
Lovely sounding freewheel...
I’ll probably change out the seat and push it through...after a ride of course...

We have that style stand at the LBS. Caution: the clamps that lock the arm rotation on ours tend to strip and thus get REAL hard to operate. Inspect and service yours then keep an eye on them. I'm not sure if it's weak material, poor design, lack of lube or "mechanics" who just don't pay attention. Otherwise a good stand.

Yup. Love these stands. This one heads to what used to be the back bedroom...no more beds! Futon heading for the living room, bunk beds already gone, bureaus heading to other bedroom and beyond! Officially, a bicycle workshop! Yay! I can now work on my bicycles year round!

What I'll say is this: Back when I re-sold my last Cinelli, head badges were going for a mint. Like, crappy ones selling for $50-60, good ones in the $90-120 range, mint ones for even more. If it's not a Cinelli, no point in keeping the badge, eh?
