Hi @spivey!

I do not know the initial state of those bicycles before you repaired them. But knowing that one of those was about to be thrown away and you still made it work, I think you really did great. You also made big savings for the second one. Not only did you save the bicycles but you also helped save the environment by reducing waste.

Not only entreprenueral folks would need bicycles but also those who do biking as a hobby. I am not sure in your location but I know people who does biking as their exercise every morning and weekend. There are those who even invest on mountain bicycles as they continue to challenge themselves in that area.

I know people who earned well with refurbished stuff so I think you will make a good entrepreneur yourself with your techniques and strategies. Since you are into bicycles, my only reminder to you when refurbishing is to keep high safety standards even if the item is refurbished. As it is, bicycles are for transportation and can be prone to accident if safety is taken for granted.
