Hey Bri, Was hoping to see you there. I was in and out as it was my wife's B'day and we had some plans. I only live 15 mins away from Stafford so it was an easy drive for me. When I approached him he had just sold a girls bike for $85 and I thought that was a fairly good price for what it was. We talked for a bit and it turns out he is my friends neighbor (lives the next street over) I gave him the URL for our site and asked him to check us out. . I was mostly looking for parts (lights tanks and springers) but he didn't have any for sale. The next best thing was to focus on the Roadmaster for parts. Once we got talking he seemed like a pretty nice guy, guess his wife is pressuring him to thin the heard and she was there when we started talking $$$. I think she just wanted it gone so we haggled for a bit and he said cash now or the price goes up if I walk. I gave him the $$ and he held it for me till I left. Gave it a spin when I got home and it rides pretty nice, now I'm no longer sure if I'm going to part it. Thinking about building it and giving it to my oldest daughter's boyfriend or building and selling (eventually want a complete bike from the early 30's so I can't keep em all).
