Your best bike find ever.

[Nickinator]

Thought this would be a cool topic that might be fun.

So here it is. What is the best bike you have ever found on CL, a barn, shed, basement, attic, scrap yard and so on

Post up a picture if you have one of when you found it or how it looks today.

here is mine.
my old radiobike.
bought it from an antique store down in TN from the original owner.

This is the most recent one. Neighbor brought this over and gave it to me last June. 1987 Schwinn Peloton which was near the top of Schwinn's lightweight line that year. Free was a very good price for a near perfect bike. I know it isn't that old but it sure is nice. Roger

Well I would have to say it was the Mead Sentinel that I found and sold.

1936 Schwinn Henderson. I dug it out of the loft of my grandpa's barn. He bought it off the original owner in the late 1930s. I asked if I could have it and he told me I could. That was in 1997. I cleaned it up and brought it back on the road.

I'm going to say this is my best find ever. Found it on CL a few years ago but have sold it since.
