I think it's a So Cal guy. I've seen those pics before forwarded from someone who bought a bike from the collection. Damn nice stuff. I love the Schwinn Madison, that's pure bike.

Someone should tip off the hipsters about that, "Having negative trail totally makes your bike more responsive brahh... makes it totally easier to sit on the bars and skid at the same time.".

They've probably spent all their money on the bikes. I wish my collection: a) had as much space and b) was as nice.
