All prophets are ignored in their own lands.

But on the west coast ...
... there's a guy in Riverside (CA) who constantly posts on the Inland Empire CL, he's got a collection of bikes on his property that looks almost that large ... he constantly posts, and sometimes it's "take 'em all for $1,000" ...

I work 2 miles from this place. These ads show up pretty often.
Someday I have to run over at lunch just to see what's there. Somehow I'm not thinking there's a Team Raleigh Pista hiding in the backyard!

Damn, I want to see this in Google Maps
Here's the Festival Bay Mall, International runs along the left side. I looked but can't see anything likely.

An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.

If that was within a 2 hour drive, I'd check it out.
There was a guy in Durham that had over 100 bikes. He was known for rebuilding them, then giving them away to needy kids in his area. I gave him a few bikes, a really nice guy. He got most of his bikes from the City Parks system who gave him all the abandoned bikes they found. I checked out his 100 bikes. I know it may be difficult to believe, but only 4 or 5 bikes were actually worth anything. One Schwinn Traveler, a Trek 800, a Raleigh MTB and a really nice Specialized Allez that he kept for himself (he deserved it). Just lots and lots of Walmart, K-Mart and Target bikes.

Rocco, I've met the Sgt Major (USMC Retired) in Durham. No nonsense dude. How he can fix those Wal-Mart brakes is beyond me. Whenever I'm in Wal-Mart, I try to buy a tube or tire, drop them off at his place whenever I'm in Durham. Thugs rule his part of town at night, but no one bothers the Bike Man...
