Always entertaining when vintage bicycles hit a venue like this. Eddie Vannoy was a muscle car collector (yawn)
and this makes you wonder if his huge car collection was as cobbled as the bikes..?
Just LOOK at the horrible quality of restorations... except for rare few; 35 schwinn, Hiawatha and Dashboard bike
look surprisingly good.
The rest ...looks like 'Dumb with too much money' had some hack blitz through a fleet of bicycles and make em' shiny with china seats.
Love the Beaten down Fastback for 3300. and a what looks like Ooops wrong shade of campus green
restored one for 6500!!!!
There is a whizzer loaded with repop garbage they call a "Panther Whizzer"...that hit 10 G's.
Repop laden Phantoms and horribly restored B6's for 3000 range...
The icing on the cake.... Repop cheapo 'Schwinn Finest Bicycles' sign.... ALMOST 1000 BUX!!
Just insanity time at the ol' auction house, no wonder the rest of the modern world laughs at or pities us.
It's unfortunate that these mediums have no idea how to authenticate or accurately
describe vintage bicycles. What a Buyer Beware hornets nest!
How do I get a list of the underbidders? LOFL
