I just can't wait, :jumpyay I signed up for a spinning class, :rock and about an hour after I did I found a spinning wheel that a co-worker wants out of her basement. :devil $100.00 and it's mine. should I do it? :blush She said it's old and still works, it was her mothers, who bought it from a woman in Canada in the 80's :rock:jumpyay:jumpyay

Debbie if its working definately buy it. Ask her if you can try it first and give her a deposit if you arent sure. Congratulations on your spinning class, if you need help with your wheel maybe someone there could advise you or go with you to check it out. Goodluck !

Ok, this is what you do:

1) go buy the wheel

2) wrap very carefully

3) put in a big box

4) put my name and address on the front of the box

5) call the brown truck to come pick it up

 

Seriously, ENJOY!

You know, in looking at my spinning wheel it appears there really aren't a whole lot of parts....I wonder why it didn't spend. Was it missing the "belt?"
