+1 video camera... ha... I like that idea.

What I really want is him to take me to the barn where he is getting all this stuff... apparently from a rich farmer who used to collect and restore bikes as a business / hobby but is now too old. I wish I had his connection.

I may try and work out a consignment deal with him... since he wants to maximize his profits but not actually do anything. Bikes are a hot item in my area so... its hard to get good deals and when there are deals to be had they are gone in seconds. For every bike shop in town... and I think we have 10 there are probably another 10 garage bike shops.
