made a new local contact

[JoeyMac]

Met a guy a couple towns over with a great stash of bikes.
Came by to take a closer look and snap a few pics.
Might come back over and try to work out a deal.

Here's a peek at some of his collection:

Hanging in the main part of his garage (I flipped the image):

Hanging in the side room of the garage:

And in his basement:

He had some other gems hidden around his house too.
Ended up buying a Stingray project from him (pics later),
and getting his contact info for future deals and group rides.
He's a nice guy, and knows his vintage bike stuff.
Good to know there are more freaks like me nearby.

Man the only bad thing about that is , You know he knows what they are worth. Its a shame it wasnt sombodys exwife that had a collection that just wanted them out of her house. :roll: :roll:

Well, I guess it's a bad thing if you're profit-minded, Stretch... But I ain't

He does have some cool bikes...nice Columbias.

I guess it is nice to buy them cheap even if you do plan to keep them. :wink:
