Looks like he does some building cleanouts for foreclosures or something and has a whole bunch of a variety of things, pretty much everything in as-found condition. All the bikes, maybe 12 or so, that he had lined up needed some work, some a little, some more. The Schwinn Continental or Varsity (I forget which but it was yellow and is in his other CL ad) measures out to about 50cm on the seat tube. He's also got a German made folder, also in need of a major cleaning and overhaul. I have no idea what his prices are like but did somehow get him to say other bikes he's sold went for $30 $40 $50 or more dollars. Seems like a wheeler/dealer and might be fun to negotiate a deal with if he had something that I wanted. Oh, and even though the ad's make it sound like he's a motivated seller, the impression I got is that he "has all day to work a deal" if you know what I mean.
I might go back if I see a future posting of his with something that I'm very interested in, but until then it's "been there, seen that, next stop".
