UPDATE:

Moved the bikes yesterday.

There were about 120 bikes (and 240 wheels). Lots in rough shape, but some well preserved.

Highlights were a few nice Raleighs and Peugeots. One Schwinn Super Sport. A couple of old-school, made-in-England, Raleigh-family bikes with dynohubs; one with rod brakes.Two wheels with two-cog AWs.

One wheel with the old-school Schwinn disk brake.

LOTS of Varsities. Lots.

And many lo-grade american bike-boom bikes.

Lots of wheels with too much rust to save or fool with, though plenty of nice hubs to be saved.

A strange dearth of handle bars. What the heck happened to them??

A couple of rounds of photos coming.

Less a treasure trove, I think, than a whole lot of work to assemble working bikes.
