Believe it or not I was the very FIRST person to walk though this sale! Alone, no less. I walked out with absolutely NOTHING!
 
I saw it last week on C-list and almost raced down there, but got a tip from a friend not to waste the gas money...I wanted the sign that used to hang out in front of that place but I called the guy and he wouldn't sell it...
What a sad pile of metal and rubber....
 
Other than some rare items like the Rapido chopper, Columbia SS-5 (I think), Spaceliner tank, and couple BMX mags, the rest I'm sorry to say, is destined to be parted out (if we are lucky) or crushed...every last one. I can tell most of these are not older than the 60s and mostly from the 70s-90s, most are stripped clean, and they all have been sitting in that terrible environment for many decades. All piled up like a junkyard, too. Have you seen the algae or moss and rust on some of those bikes? What you see is only 20% of what really lies in there. I'm really merciful on Classics, but unless this place was REAL close to me, I wouldn't be interested, and then, I wouldn't pay a penny over $200. I can tell most of the wheels are totally smashed so there goes a good portion of the mess into the crusher anyhow.

RIP bikes.

EDIT: that was a Murray Chopper, not a Columbia.

I just read he is going to send off to the scrap yard soon, so I sent him an email about the Murray and Rapido choppers. Those are the only two in that whole mess I can see actually worth saving. It is a shame to see some nice parts go, but as I said, thats what most of these are...parts bikes.

Maybe some vintage tires, a couple of rims that the classic bmx guys love, and oddly enough I want that Roadmaster Nightshock. Saw some other ones but yea it mostly looks like a bunch of junk bikes. Not worth the drive or shipping for me though.

I don't know what it is, but you and I both find those 80s and 90s mountain bikes interesting, the graphics do it for me. I have a 1992 Western Flyer Kodiak waiting on me. It was a scrap yard rescue.
