Okay here's a variation on the theme: "spotted somewhere not necessarily in the wild." This photo is from a WSJ story on the self storage tipping point and includes the owner's bike. What I took to be a C&V thing or a Euro relic turns out to be a mass-market BSO from Target. Just shows what the sight of a well-turned wheel will do to a guy and the lengths he'll go to for an answer. The article's original small photo had me thinking "a Sports with different bars and crazy paint" but I had to do some digging.

In Sara Vass’s storage space even the bicycle is fashionable: Its trim was part of a limited edition  by Missoni.
