 These two new bikes
donated by big box store due to assembly
problems are identical to two used ones at left we fixed earlier. Easy fixes=Christmas presents for 2 underprivileged kids |
|
 Sometimes the shop gets crowded! |
 This was a donation from a big box store - shifter was damaged. Fixed that and added a Wald(tm)"Delivery basket" Donated to Homeless Vets agency |
 This was donated by a big box store - someone messed up assembling it and returned it. It became a birthday present for a food pantry client's son |
|
 This was a major overhaul plus add basket. It went to a refugee youth to ride to work and shop |
 This
one-speed just needed tires,a new chain, and the basket stabilized |
 These went to three refugee teens newly-arrived from Myanmar. All needed tires, two derailleurs, two shifters one kickstand. |
|
 Damaged in shipping to big box store; donated to 2CB to fix and donate to refugee to ride to work |
 I love this basket. Won't hold much, But for a quick errand to drugstore - perfect. |
 This just needed cleaning, one new cable, and adjusting brakes and shifters. |
|
 This went to a homeless person before I started adding baskets and racks |
 Youth bike, needed cables |
 New tires, added basket. |
|
 Took a break from adult bikes to get this ready for Christmas Needed cables and chain, replaced seat |
 These were a special case - just did maintenance work for youth transitional housing facility; some tires patched, some replaced, & various adjustments |
 This was from the same youth facility but required a makeover: tires, handlebar, brake handles, kickstand, rear brake mechanism, pedals, and seat. |

| These
two bikes were donated together. The couple had ridden them for years
but upgraded long ago and they had sat in the garage for 15 years or
so. Both were in decent shape. The men's (upper left) had a derailleur
problem and parts of a luggage rack dangling from it, plus mudguard
off. Both needed new tires and a good cleaning. I did the repairs and then added the basket seen on the men's in upper right and a removable side basket to the women's. The side basket was a resale shop find I received for Christmas; I made brackets to hang it using some old spokes. |
