Holy crap!!

It is not news to anyone that old bikes are trendy. I wanted to earn some money to paint another frame that I have, so I decided to sell a Schwinn Suburban that I have had for a few years. It was a nice bike, clean new grease, nice paint etc, so i decided to list it at $125.00 and wait for a while if I had to. 1 hour after I posted it...1 tiny hour I had 3 emails and 2 phone calls... holy crap! I knew they were trendy, but I am from Canton, OH and there are not many people on bicycles around here. The bike was gone in 1 hour and 20 minutes, wow. I think being a mens frame worked wonders, I have been trying to sell a womens Norman forever, and I personally think the Norman is cooler. Go figure, I feel shell shocked, but I guess in a good way.
