+1 Actually, you'd be surprised at the impact that show has. The guy that sold me my 1956 Hercules Royal Prince and girls Schwinn bicycle said that he dragged them home from a friend's house after watching American Pickers. He was figuring someone might be interested in saving them from the scrap heap. Of course this guy's expectations were modest since he only wanted $55 for both bikes.

This bike is super special because:
1. It is made from liquid metal...just like the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Unfortunately I spilled coffee on it, so it won't shape change anymore...but it's made from the same material as the T-1000!
2. The tape wrap was done by Andy Warhol AFTER DEATH AT THE DIRECTION OF A OUIJA BOARD! And it was taped up by none other than Lou Reed! You can be the ONLY person to own a bike designed by Andy Warhol AFTER his death! Doubly special because it's the first artistic contribution Lou Reed has made since 1983!
3. Lance Armstrong used this bike while trying out as an extra for Quick Silver! That's right!!! This was ridden by Lance Armstrong and he was faster than Kevin Bacon in the parking lot!
4. It was originally shipped from Columbia and is rumored to have each tube packed with bags of Columbian Coffee!
This bike was valued by my aunt with Alzheimer's at $4,000,000!!! I'll pass on the savings of $3,985,000! That's right...you save $3,985,000!!!

Hey Kurt, remember that post on the forums about American Pickers with forumer "oldroads". That beat up old Schwinn Town and Country was supposedly worth over $1000.00 I guess it makes exciting TV for some.
