Another Arkansas bike stash!

I promised @dnc1 I would venture out to a friends house and see if he had a crusty TOC era racer he was willing to part with, it had been several years since we had spoken and the sad news was he had passed away from cancer. Lonnie was an avid bike tinker repairman and had amassed a great collection of vintage bikes. Lonnie's wife remembered me and said before he passed that she should contact me to help liquidate but he had lost my number and didn't know how to contact me, needless to say there's a bunch of bikes and parts that need to go to a new home and she has given me exclusive access to make that happen, I snapped a few pictures and these pictures only constitute a tiny fraction of what the collection is.

Tiny Fraction?

Tiny Fraction?

You have no idea! These pictures are basically the "overflow" the nicer versions are inside a more secure area! Lonnie was a Vietnam veteran and was well acquainted with the rust prevention benefits of cosmoline so all and any skip tooth chain he removed was placed in a 30 gallon container tell you the truth I could barely lift it!

Lonnie was a Big Ugly Fat Fellow (B-52) tail gunner guarding the big fellow from the Migs over Vietnam for 2 tours! Sad to see him go!

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Looks like selling the bikes and parts will definitely help his wife out. You sound like a good person to take on that task kwoodyh.
