Bicycle - $0 (Key West, FL)

I purchased a home and found this under the house. Obviously it's not operational but didn't know if someone might want it before I take it to recycling. I had to put fair condition, Haha! FREE

I had similar thoughts but getting those cranks off may be a struggle. Is there anything recyclable?

I don't know if aluminum could be tossed in with all the beer cans
They do something with car tires, don't they? Although I have no idea if any bicycle tires have ever been included

Alas, no, not with bike tires. Unlike car tires, there isn't enough rubber relative to the amount of metal in the bead to make it worth the while of recyclers to extract it. The shops here, and even the City Streets Division recycling staff, have researched it and had no luck. If that ever changes, I'd love to hear about it, as would our City recycling staff.

My apologies to anyone who thinks these bikes are worth this much.
Two things funny to me:
1. They want to meet in front of the police station.
2. All the stuff that isn't included for your $4,500!

I mean, you can buy a brand new Gus Boots Willsen frame for $2000, so you just gotta ask yourself whether it would cost $2500 to build it up

I have a smaller one I'd be happy to move along at $100.
Cleaned and superfuous to my needs. I love the style though.

So you want C&V?
A positive side of aging is that every year we see less and less junk for sale that BITD was junk when it was new.
Having said that, the owners of said junk think it's valuable!
Ps. You don't even get new tires for $500
