Hey guys
We are a small rural bike shop in Statesville, NC and have been collecting bikes for close to 15 years. The collection is up to about 450 bikes and includes 1869 boneshaker, 1885 Columbia ordinary, wood wheel bikes, balloon tire bikes, Stingrays, muscle bikes, road bike and mountain bikes. Over half of the bike are mountain bikes which have the same ancestors as the rat rod bikes. If you get a chance, check out our web sites. Much of the vintage stuff is listed on firstflightbikes.com while we have been switching over much of the mountain bike stuff to http://www.mombat.org (Museum of Mountain Bike Art & Technology)
I'll try to post a couple of our relevant bikes in the gallery section as well.
Thanks
Jeff
