I still have a barn full of mostly low end bikes in varying states that were destined to be flipped--I think I have somewhere between 10 and 20. Most of them are complete. Zero interest in working on them. I really need to get around to selling them to a local flipper. $15 a pop if you take 'em all! (80's Huffys and Columbias included!)
Unfortunately, I'm in Virginia. On the other hand, I'm still hoping to take Patti up to her mother's in Bangor early in October . . . . .
