Great find. I'm glad you grabbed it.
My C&V collecting has moved to the more unique bikes and the Mecacycle clearly qualifies. After all, although many will disagree, after a while, old road bikes tend to all kind of look alike.
BTW, I lived in Denver for 10 years. Where were the photos taken?
Thanks
RFC,
It's good to hear from you.
You bring up such an excellent point and I agree with you; I am actually eliminating a good chunk of my collection, but this one is/was unique enough to make it worth the trip. I am hoping to get down to maybe 4 "core" road bikes and 2 MTB's and 1 BMX that I will end up keeping (but that doesn't include fillet-brazed Schwinns because they are very special and dear to me) and everything else will go. I don't want to do this anymore if it will cut into my riding time and feel like a 7 days/wk job. Plus, I'm already becoming bonded to 1 or 2 bikes like I never was before I began letting go of other bikes.
RE: the location... You may recall that Washington Park gets very overcrowded around the "racing circuit" where all of the Tri/TT riders train on their $5K c/f machines....So when I feel too surrounded by too many riders and too much hypertechnology I ride north thru Capital Hill to a spot that virtually nobody knows about, where the asphalt is smooth as silk and you can let it rip.....Do you remember the big park near The Museum of Nature and Science?
