I like the red one!

If you decide you want to unload any of the remainder of bikes that you are not using/will not be using, I could be interested in one of them.

Cool! once I figure things out, I'll let you know.. otherwise, I know that Craigslist has a ton of bikes, cheap, as does the unique thrift store (and at unique you can see a bunch all at once-- so you can compare before you buy--- I think they were $15-$25 each last summer)

just a thought.

The red and black are both, what, 10 speeds? The geometry is a little different but they look in similar shape, so I'd fix whichever fits better. The blue is an old fixed-gear cruiser with the benefit of hand brakes (instead of coaster brakes). You'll probably need new tires and tubes for any of them, maybe new chains, just to get them running. If all the brake components are present those aren't too hard to tune. Get yourself a bike pump, too. You can get a good foot-pump at Target for $15-20.

How would you feel about going out on Saturday and helping me pick out all the stuff I need? I will buy you lunch and stuff for the favor. My Saturday is wide open from 3pm on....
