Been a member for 3 years but hadn't posted because I didn't have any bikes that really qualified for this forum, I've just been lurkling and digging all the cool rides but the past couple weeks I think that changed. An old friend passed away a couple years ago and he had literally several tons of old bikes. I thought they had all been sold off until I saw an ad in our local CL. I recognized the bikes right away. I contacted the seller which turned out to be his sister. I've been more into vintage road and mountain bikes but have been wanting to build a Klunker. Thought I'd go out and see if there were any good candidates left. I hadn't seen his bikes in many years and all but a couple hundred were gone but there were still some diamonds in the rough left. I have no plans of selling anything at this time, the first Columbia is getting refurbished mechanically and preserved cosmetically and the silver Schwinn gets to be the Klunker. I have I haven't really decided on the others yet. I won't bore you with any more chatter, here's what I brought home.
