I sold an Elgin project last night so I was looking to pick up something new. I knew for a while about a guy that was supposed to be thinning out a pretty nice collection so I gave him a ring. He had a pretty nice Columbia 5-Star Superb that I was interested in so I decided to take my kid on the nearly 6 hour round trip to check it out. I was totally over whelmed by the quality bikes he had and decided to take home a few. Didnt have enough room or cash to take home that 5-Star so I guess I'll have to go back :D

My favorite is the gender changer with with skirts and the beehive.
Wait a minute, that doesn't sound too good. :oops:

I don't know how you do it Brian...

the Mercury looks Identical to the Western Flyer i picked up this winter, except in better shape :mrgreen:

Lots and lots of searching..and driving is how I do it!

The Starlet is my favorite of the lot. Your daughter has a good eye!
