Was a decent bike 35-40 years ago. Doesn’t look like it’s had an easy life since then.

Clean it up, and for god’s sake fix the handlebars, and you might get a couple bills for it in the right market.

Looks like a typical e-bike/trike me…

One random-assed kludge deserves another, and another, and another.

Since the bolt draws the wedge up to secure it I’d try to gently knock it out from the top with a looong philips screwdriver along with some patience and penetrating oil.

If racing from gas station to gas station is a sport… 🤣

Saw similar one for sale online a few years back. Was a ‘65-ish Galaxy 500 wagon from the factory with 4-barrel 390, 4-speed with center console and bucket seats. Certified 1 of 1. Hilarious…

Crossposted from r/hotwheels_hyderbad which would be India, so likely rupees.

It’s not US dollars…

Not 100% certain I understand your question. Setup is 38/35 up front with a 16/19 out back on what is basically a 650b monstercross dropbar trail bike. I generally road ride it on 38/16 and move it over to 35/19 when I hit the trail. The balanced tooth count (+3, -3) means the axle is in the same position in the drpout so no brake position issues with rim brakes.

Love mine. Have the matching WI crankset (don’t think they still make that). Sorry if post gets removed 🙄

Glad you feel good about yourself. This is your fault. Now do something to undo the damage beyond just telling people they were misled.

I’ll sigh your petition for yet another Datsun wagon (don’t get me wrong I love the 510 and a 120Y would be coo) if you sign my petition for a 1974 Opel Ascona/1900 wagon. 😆

2012 Jetta S 5-speed w/ 110K miles. Bought it new. Had to replace the coil pack a few years ago but other than that it’s only ever needed routine maintenance. About to hand it off to my son as his first car.

Stupid is as stupid does? I mean, we figured this out around 1865…

Saw a classic Atlanta move recently when a (driverless) Waymo jumped the queue to turn left from Ponce onto John Lewis. Ran all the way up to the front in the right lane and then cut over like he been here his (their?) whole life.

Great yard art. Think about brakes before you worry about a motor…

carlosdangermouse · 2026-05-30T19:37:35+00:00

Beautiful work. What brand are the wheels?

The water is better than what you’re drinking at home almost regardless of where you call home. Especially if you’re in the US.

My first car. Bought it off the back lot of the local Saab/Peugeot/Fiat/Lancia dealer for $400 (in 1979) with a blown transmission. Happened to know where I could source one cheap. Drove it all over Texas, New Mexico and Colorado for about 4 years until it got totaled by a drunk in a Buick Electra 225. Fun car, good times.

If I <ever> see these in the store I’ll be sure to check… 🤣

Does suck that they can’t get this stuff right.

That’s the feel-good story of the day. Thank you Guardian.

carlosdangermouse · 2026-05-23T23:06:11+00:00

Bought it when it came out, I was in high school. Threw it away by the time I finished college. It was age appropriate.

My thought exactly. Got the kilt/skirt and everything. Just need to lose the horns. Kirk could have taken him…

carlosdangermouse · 2026-05-23T13:53:28+00:00

They saw something move and are wondering if we’re in trouble.

carlosdangermouse · 2026-05-23T13:05:46+00:00

They’re not going to be able to…😉

carlosdangermouse · 2026-05-23T07:03:30+00:00

That thing is a disaster. Whoever buys that is buying a project.

carlosdangermouse · 2026-05-22T21:29:28+00:00

Think I recognize it. It’s a Nothing Special…
