Came across a garage full of killer old tank bikes. Elgins, Phantoms, Cycle truck and various other killer old bikes. Very nice guy to talk with and he knew his bikes. The terrible thing was that he just could not budge on price and was looking for anywhere between $500 - $600 each. I tried the "bundle" tactic and tried shooting various offers but.... nothing worked and he was very firm. I found 2 that he was not attached to and bought them very reasonable yet my heart ached the entire drive home. 
I even stopped the truck a mile away from his garage and tried to talk myself into going back for the elgin and the cycle truck. I just knew that if I had spent that kind of money, my wife would have me sleeping in the garage for months.
The girls bike has some very nice Typhoon Chord tires that ride silky smooth and the the boys bike is badged as a Laselle and has some pretty cool parts on it. All in all the bikes i picked up have some good parts that I have been wanting to buy for a while now so it wasnt a bad trip.
