Bike Garage Sale, May 1st

Bike Garage Sale May 1, 2010

The sale originally scheduled for Saturday, April  24th has been scrubbed due to rain.  We now plan to have it Saturday, May 1st from 8:00 am - Noon. at 811 Kellogg Ave, Ames.

There will be LOTS of bikes, accessories, parts, tires and tubes and car/truck racks for sale -- mostly used but some brand new. 

We have several kids' bikes, some adult bikes, some tires, wheels and parts.  Most bikes have been refurbished, although we have a couple of mechanic's specials and a great old Gitane road bike looking for a home.

 Here are some examples of "classic" bikes we'll have at the sale:

Kabuki Submariner Mixte -- a die-cast, stainless steel frame bike from the 70s.  All original except the tires.  Rideable as is; could use new bar tape and a saddle. $50.

Classic Gitane road bike from the 1970s.  This all-original French 10-speed needs some TLC.  A great fixer-upper project. For $50 it's yours.


A couple of customers have asked to add their bikes to the sale.  (The more the merrier!)  If you have a used bike you would like to have us include, please contact us before Saturday, May 1.

More items that will be for sale--

Pickup truck bike carriers (right) -- These are brand new.  Each mount holds one bike upright and firmly in place inside your truck bed.  No damage to either the bike or the truck., and they save space so you can still carry cargo.  We have several of them.. $15 each..  Accessories also available for these.

Yakima Roof Rack(right)  with two bike mounts.  Includes crossbars and locks; $50 takes it all.


Keep checking this blog -- we will add more items as we get them ready for the sale, so look often!
