First up is this 1970 Schwinn Deluxe Twin. I have a name for it already..."The Yellow Submarine"

Then got this nice looking BFK "Black Friday Krate" Someone kinda did a number on it converting it to a freewheel and throwing a different front wheel on it but the main stuff is there.

Already got a buyer lined up for it, If that deal falls through I'll let you know. He's in your state so you might be able to deal him out of it later.

How do you seem to find all these cool bikes?
I know people... :mrgreen:

(My friend mark who has run a bike shop for years is selling out and I've known him for years. He gave me a deal at $130 for both. :wink: ) He's got a few other bikes. Mostly girl's tank bikes or incomplete projects but I'm helping him liquidate his collection and buying a few for myself. I might be selling a few of mine here soon to make space. I also bought my spaceliner off the same guy.

Here's a little sneak peak of what this guy mark has.

Ahh Its always nice when you can be the person that gets to go in places others cant, thats how I got the spitfire and buzz bike, the guy has a second hand store but dont sell many bikes on the floor but he likes buying them and just lets them collect in his storage building. so I happen by the window and seen some handle bars and went in and asked and he let me look.

you dog!! those are some cool finds!!
They are all for sale if you feel like a road trip. I'm only one guy with a shed and mine's already full. He doesn't want to bother with shipping and nobody else knows about it. I'd like to find them all good homes with collectors rather than him have a yard sale and get ripped off. I just make a few bucks for tear down, packaging, and what not. If there's enough interest in parts I'll buy them as many as I can and sell them or part them.

Here's my shed

Now imagine it with the tandem and stingray in there too. :shock:
 
I think I need another shed. :mrgreen: Ah the variety of bikes every time I go for a ride. 8)

Build off material....be afraid...be very afraid :lol:

I slipped a couple into my basement when the wife wasnt watching so I could have room to move around in my garage
I don't have a basement. You must be lucky. I know another guy who has quite the stash but he's only selling at retail x 5. :roll:
