Coco's Variety

Our friend Mister Jalopy has launched a blog about his enchanting store in Los Angeles, Coco's Variety. You can buy some of the things he sells in the store via PayPal. Coco's Variety sells flyswatters, glass 5 gallon water bottles, headache remedies, oil cloth by the yard, used bicycles, California souvenir tablecloths, Kit Kat Klocks, gum ball machines, Mexican Cokes in glass bottles, squirt guns, tote bags adorned with hula girls, Lodge cast iron frying pans, old American made tools, baskets for your bicycle, wood matches, reverse osmosis purified drinking water by the gallon and fancy Jadeite cake plates for fancy cakes on fancy occasions. We sell everything but parakeets. 5-speed Collegiate, Immaculate, Overhauled, $250 Coco's is engaged in the refurbishment, repair and sale of used bicycles. From the scrap iron dealer's mud puddle, we buy bikes that nobody else wants. We buy junkers, clunkers, road bikes, mountain bikes, banana seat specials, fixies, department store cheapies, step through ten speeds, heavy bikes, skip tooth relics, 80's splatter paint disasters, suspension bikes, BMX tricksters, track bikes, cruisers, bruisers and midnight losers. Probably the cleanest vintage Schwinn we have ever had. Usually, these sell for $150-200 depending on condition, but this one is priced at $250 as we paid more for it because we fell in love. The only thing that is not original is the shifter which was upgraded at some point to a more modern thumb shifter. Nice English 3-speed, Original Headlight, Overhauled, Lots New $200 We believe the bicycle with the greatest positive impact on the environment is a fading champion that has already served a meaningful life and is resuscitated for a second chance at glory.
