Wingbar on ebay

[Boxtubebob]

This bike, and many others that you are about to see listed from the same seller/area belonged to Cyclone Coaster co founder Bernard Serrano.
His collection was being stored in a locker that he defaulted on and was sold at auction.
Everything should be kosher, but I'm always a little apprehensive about buying a bike that may have some personal dispute or animosity attached to it.

Feel bad for Bernard he's a good guy. Wish him the best.

And just like that! The auction has ended early.

The guy was a clown. This was up on fb before he had an auction. He put it up in old bikes club and told people to message him with offers. People saw how messed up the frame was and told him then he started trying to insult another guy telling him he rode garbage and that he knows what he collects is out of some peoples reach. Its funny now, considering that he had no freaking clue what the bikes actually were and actually just found them in a locker.

Same here. Certainly hope his beloved Cycleplane wasn't in that locker.

Did he fall on bad health or times? Wish he could have reached out to his support groups for help before he lost his stuff...sucks!

Wonder how much the unit sold for?

There was a 1994 issue Merlin Newsboy in there that showed up at our local Cycle Swap last Sunday and the guy sold it for $800 bucks!
As far as I know, they only made 100 of those.
It's a pretty amazing bike, when you think how hard it must have been to bend the tubing to build an all titanium cantilever mountain bike frame.
That thing should be up in the Marin Museum of Bicycle History.

I don’t know but a friend from work knows the buyer/seller probably from the vintage car scene.

From what I heard from the seller, he is not the original purchaser of the storage unit. He picked up roughly 15-16 bikes from the 200-300(what I was told) bikes that were in the lot.

Oh my. That’s a freakin horrible loss.
