Then buy it and put it in your basement, shed or garage where everyone else stores their old bikes! There are thousands of examples like this, and this may be a great opportunity for an enterprising individual. As the world moves away from oil and, correspondingly, plastic, this collection of old bikes will appreciate and create great wealth for those with insight. Perhaps a group could corner the market on old bikes artificially driving up demand and precipitating a rush on these types of bikes. Time for someone to take the leap and you could be that person..
