Couldn't help myself. I bought it all.

[Schwinny]

There was a guy that had a bike shop, then he passed and his family sold all the bike stuff and then the guy that bought it all played around for a few years and then he sold it all.
Then there was me, walking' up like nobody's business.
Made a deal for 195 rollers, couple dozen frames, tools out the wazoo and of course parts like there isn't an end.
Two totes of Oooold seats. A big tote of springers standing on end, and a many many diamonds to be found.
This is why I like collecting and buying/selling. The thrill of the find.

Its gonna take two weeks to get it all, its 100 miles away.
Heres a few of what I brought back with me today.....

1961

1980's with truss fork

1950's BFG

Sometimes buying them all is the best thing to do.

Yes 63? Nah, has to be a 1964 Conti with the Sprint chain rings, first year big chrome spoke protector and Sky Blue paint verses the Radiant Blue of 63. Although I presume it has a late 63 serial number that was stamped in Nov. or Dec. 63.

Congratulations on your find. I’m so happy for you. When you get it all pick up and sorted, I’m on the hunt for a 26” balloon tire frame. You’re already getting a return on investment Please stay in touch. Thanks, JimRoy

Yes again, L3. (killjoy)
Still, it has the early 999 center pulls. Only way it could be better is if the pivot washers were orange. New/old chrome fork for the Schwinn fork thread too.

Ive gotta start peddling....

If you are close, come on over soon. Otherwise I think most of the middleweight stuff will go quick around here on FB marketplace and CL. There are alot of tires and tubes also. And baskets. And fenders. And on and on.

I will put as much up here on the CABE as I can, but Im not so hot on sending frames. Seems like a hassle. I haven't seen anything real old here. mostly 50-60-70's. Quite a few dogs also as you might imagine.

 

[JimRoy]

I’m not close to you. Congratulations again on your find. Junkyard Bob may be able to help me with a frame. Have fun. JimRoy

Is all from the guy up here that wanted it all gone so he could go fishing? He had all the bikes on top of the shipping container and parts inside the shipping container?

Yes, and he has so much more to get rid of than bikes. Its Very strange to me that he even has any bikes.
