I suppose I could fill the next 20 pages with pics from this lot, there won't be any end to it anytime soon as it'll take months to sort through all the tubs. This is just a few of the better items I grabbed and set aside.
The weather isn't going to cooperate today so not much will get done other than stuffing the last trailer full. Since this is in someone's backyard, I can't go in with a big truck, I've been doing this with enclosed car trailers and a couple of diesel pickups, plus a few of my vans from the shop. I also don't want to just show up there with a bunch of strangers since a lot of this stuff is in his house. After today all the trailers and trucks will be full, I have to empty the vans asap, I need them for work, but the big trailers can stay loaded for a few days. I cleared out two rooms upstairs at my shop for storage, so I can pack some items in there. I suppose I can stash quite a few wheels and boxes of parts in a pair of 30x23ft rooms with 10ft ceilings for now if its done right. The only problem is hauling it all up the stairs to get it there for right now. I took most of the new old stock wheelsets home to the house. Like everything else, these are extremely dusty but not rusted or corroded. They all clean up with just a quick wipe with a rag for the most part.

Man, that's the kind of place I DREAM of finding! I would have a blast for years to come building up all kinds of different bikes!
Don't want to be a vulture, but if you find any big fat tanwall tires in 27x1-3/8 that aren't too dried out I would LOVE to get a few pairs off of you. I believe there is someone else on here too who is in search of the same. They just don't make fat 27" tires like they used to anymore!
I could also use a big fat pair of tanwall 650B tires as well. I just found a pair of 650B wheels in my shed the other day that I didn't even know I had!
