DFW is cyclical.

I'll go for months and see nothing at all interesting. Right now, with the weather getting cooler, a lot of people seem eager to dump their bikes and pickings are getting pretty good. I mostly just window shop right now. I might jump into the flipping biz at some time down the road (not enough time right now). Periodically there are some WHOA! finds (recently, an early 80s Bianchi with 600 drivetrain for $75...!) If I had the time and money to pick things up and flip them, I think I could do okay.
