Convalescense
I've been improving day to day this week so far has been a very productive one.
¡PORQUE YO SOY PINCHE FRESCA GUËY!
Crimson Wing's been good, no problems. Recently hosed out the handle bars and flushed out a shitton of rust-dust and spiderwebs. It was pretty damn nasty, cleaned the grips, and switched the position of the brake lever from left to right. I slightly realigned the saddle and cleaned more of the wheels and body. Looks totalmente clean dude. Glad there's not too many 2001 BMX bikes riding around here. Mine's a bit of a rarity.
Guessin' a lot of people who bought bikes like mine ended up trashing them out or neglected them and threw 'em to the curb. People just don't know how to maintain a bicycle or take care of it. They just treat 'em like shit and call 'em cheap shit. Even though it's their own damn fault for the bike getting into that condition in the first place.
The worst I ever saw was a weird one. Get this now, I was browsing a thrift for a little bike for my niece. Found a nice little one that seemed real nice. Rear wheel wouldn't rotate... Strange. Somehow this little 12" bicycle was owned by a little kid who must've been a savage BMX'r. Because there were two spokes twisted around the coaster brake sprocket. I was like "how the hell is that even possible?".
But you can get lucky at thrifts, so far I've seen three real cheap 10 speed bicycles there from either the 1970's or 1980's. I would've bought them and fixed them up but money's tight right now. And even then I don't have the time either at the moment. However I could turn a profit at the old college by selling them there. Perfect mix, millenials with scholarship money wanting to look cool owning an old bike.
Also buying old pcs and installing linux on them and reselling them, good money there for sure. Protips broskïs and broskås, you can thank me later.
