UPDATE #2

I have now spent many hours sorting bikes and wheels, examining the haul, and looking for treasures.

Turns out there were almost 200 bikes.

Found:

A second Super Sport, a small frame, disguised as a spray-painted varsity, among the varsities (the other is a 1973).

A 1959 (60?) Continental frame with the simplex suicide shifter and one DT boss for the rear, spray painted blue over the original gold . You can still make out some of the decals underneath.

A 1964 varsity with downtube shifter bosses. Always wanted one of those. Too small for me.

Three -- count em, three Bendix two-speed kickbacks. At least two of them work. The other is sticky and I couldn't tell.

Pics soon, I promise.

I am so exhausted from sorting that stuff for hours. When you have that many bikes all around, you get an intuitive feel for the meaning of "bike boom."
