Last summer I started working at bike shops after my severance ran out and i couldn't find another digital video encoding job.
Last summer I worked at a "vintage" bike shop in the east village called "Landmark Vintage Bicycles". We specialized in 60's and 70's Schwinn's. It was probably the best "vintage" bike store in the NYC area.
Now I am the manager of a "bike corner" inside of a larger retail shop on 5th ave next to time square in NYC called Green Planet. I have started flipping old Schwinn's there.
On my last trip to pick up some old bikes i saw this stunning example of a chicago sprint.
I have never seen one before. How much is a bike like that even worth? they only made them for two years.
Some other bikes i actually bought:
A 1966 Racer
A 1968 Collegiate
This is my personal 1969 Raleigh Record, saved from junk day for zero dollars:
Just to tease you I have a pic of my dealers coveted collection of NOS Krates:
