My dirty little secret is I screw these things together for pocket/bike money. The number of them that come back mutilated by nufties with no mechanical clue is mind blowing. There's actually a code on my charge sheet for re-threading cranks when Numnuts has tried putting the left pedal on the right hand crank 
.
Had one bloke come back complaining of a skipping chain. Took him and the bike out back, I jumped on and couldn't find anything. He jumps on, I'm listening for the clunks, nothing. He's adamant it's faulty. "It does it when I change gears"
Turns out he didn't know how a bike changes gears and the clunk was the chain landing on the next gear down

Garden variety thread tap, they're low grade steel, things shouldn't even be called bikes.
Had a BMX come back with the three piece crank snapped at the axle

Lol, nope. I used to be Night Fill Manager for the local Big W, stepped down to shelf filler coz I was sick of the shit hours and bullshit so started working for the company contracted to build their bikes (and other stuff) for the extra cash. Saves taking money out of the house budget for my fetish. In fact, last year it kept the house afloat while my wife wasn't working.
To be honest I haven't actually had to tap one yet. There's enough returned clunkers that I flog a crank off one of them.

Fair enough. I was imagining you doing casual work at the local Anaconda on top of the printing. The Anaconda here has a full bike workshop and some poor bastard trying to keep their inexpensive bikes running for people that have no idea.

Anaconda is one of the few stores we don't have up here

More gumtree gold. Big W diamond back with premium pricing, but the description is gold. Front and back what?

Awesome Gumtree effort. It always makes me wonder if this could be an elaborate piss take. Gumtree always delivers with nutty descriptions and forks on backwards.

Don't like their chances of the buy it now price.... Must have also missed the chain when they mention lubed up and ready to go....

At least they seem to have lubed the tyres.

Looks like it’s had an Armour All rebuild. Certainly has more than a bit of light scratching.

Bald tyres, rusty chain, rusty axle, rusty lots of things, busted seat, and blistered anodising on the forks...this one is a keeper!
Oddjob
Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Looks like the chain was lubed, rust and all. Given the way the whole bike has been given the armour all treatment I bet the disc rotors have a nice sheen to them too.
