Bay Area Schwinn graveyard

Here's a CL ad for that Schwinn boneyard where I got my Super Sport a couple months ago:

I didn't really do a head(tube) count, but I'd estimate about 30; Varsities, Continentals, Suburbans, Breezes -- all E-F frame raod bikes. I snagged the only CrMo, and the only rear fender reflector bezel. Plenty of other decent bits and pieces left, though.

Get ahold of them and see if they've got what you need. I can run up there and grab it for you.

I have no room at all for anymore bikes right now, in fact I think I may have to get rid of some .
