Bikes: It's a SICKNESS!

Libertas & Elvish My collection grew by two today

Cuss Word, Cuss Word, Cuss Word, Cuss Word Craigs List!

I can't quit looking and now I own 2 more bikes. I know nothing about either of these brands but the price was right (Sub $400 for the pair). So now the fun begins. Ride and decide. Ride them and keep them and move along something else from my collection or just move them along. They both came from a collector and were in "Ready to Ride" condition, in fact I rode both of them tonight already. I liked the Libertas enough to ride it to SubWay to grab dinner. It was my first time in toe clips in many many years and I came real close to landing on my side in my driveway.
I'm not sure why but the obscure really attracts me.
The pics are from the PO but I plan to get some tomorrow in the sunlight.
I feel good just knowing I saved them from some Hipster wanabe SS project that never sees the light of day.
