NOS stuff from an old warehouse!

slacker · May 15, 2009

So I have heard of this tale of a warehouse full of vintage bikes in the area. Versions of the story vary greatly from person to person. Basically a bike dealer disappeared, leaving his stock in the warehouse to rot for years.

Along with others I have searched for this hidden treasure of the Midwest. Finally I have found it! The Holy Grail!

Sadly, it all fit in one box. :roll:

I gather the bulk of this stuff has been gone for years. I bought the last of it. Most of it went to a single vintage dealer. I won't tell who, but if you spend much time on eBay, you already know.

Meh, I scored a few nice bits. And have a decent story. :wink:

The red and white seat is a Brooks. I also scored a D.P. Harris "Crown" worn, an Oxford headlight new in the bag, and a few other things.

Here are some better shots of the horn. I am thinking of wiring it with an internal contact switch, just to eliminate the clutter. Or maybe I'll find some vintage cloth covered wire, as the horn button is actually pretty cool.

A better shot of the light. Basically a single cell Delta copy. I might be interested in a trade for an ratty 30's or 40's light.
