(18,315 posts)I suppose we would have never expected to be in the bike biz but here we are a year later and as of right now selling a lot of bikes. I have a thread in the DU bike forum that explains how we came about our good fortune.
Hubby will spend up to 3 hours sometimes talking with people. He knows how to sell the best bike for the right person. One gentleman in his 70's wanted a bike, he spoke with hubby several times. His step son talked him into a new bike, he bought one rode it a few weeks and ended up contacting us and buying a vintage Schwinn. He
it.
Hubby will also customize the bike, anywhere from custom paint job, to new chains, awesome tires from several colors. You name it he will please our customers.
I ride a vintage 3 speed Sears and Roebuck made in Austria awesome black with colored accents, black fenders, gold chain, black front basket that holds my doggy purse I made, rear chrome rack, and new tires black with reflective stripe.


These pics don't have my new tires on them. They have the original until I had a rear blow out while out riding.
I also have a vintage Raleigh Sports 3 speed that is very similar to my S&R, but is a little larger than my S&R and was in very sad shape when we bought her. However, she is still a great bike.
