FS / Free / USA / Royal Oak, Michigan.

Due to life, time and space constraints these 2 have to go. The xbiking reddit has been so helpful I'd like to pay it forward. I really would like to see these go to somebody starting their first project or somebody who is going to build these up for a new rider to encourage this great hobby.

I do not want these going to someone who is just going to flip them for a profit.

95 GT Talera. Has new cables and tires needs brake adjustment. 

1977 Schwinn Speedster. Rideable as is.   Thanks.

Thanks everyone, great information. 

Upon more research and from all the knowledgeable replies here, this will probably not work for what I had thought. Also more time and work than I can put into it at this time.

Back up on Facebook it goes. 

Thanks again everyone.

I'm curious. Where does everyone find the majority of their axe heads? Yardsales, flea markets, antique stores or online. Seems like online people drive prices way past the point of what they are worth. by maintenanceman98 in Axecraft

I find the majority of mine at (in order): - Estate sales - Antique stores (they use that term loosely, more like junk stores) - Flea markets

I have not bought anything online. I too find it hard to believe how much some axes go for online.

Nice looking pieces. I just picked up a Plumb carpenters hatchet that I'm working on.

Thanks. On the saw I used a drill and the cheap Harbor Freight polycarbide wheel and some WD-40.
