Tip on OLD bikes
 

Tonight in the Madison, Wisconsin craiglist, this ad appeared. He's asking $1 each. Thought someone here might have an interest.

Just bought an old barn and inside there are 3 old adult bikes. Come pick them up! Id say that these bikes are from approx 1950s??? Complete bikes. Contact me with questions...

The guys in the Classic/Vintage forum might have an interest in this. Cool guys over there.

Price seems high.

Thank you very much! :D

I thought the "Classic and Vintage" forum was for the 50+'ers who had aged better.

No, not the riders--- the bikes! ;) http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...tOct242006.jpg

Bob, that's a gorgeous Paramount, but I think it's more my size than yours.

Thanks! By todays standards, yes. But back in 1980 when I bought my second road bike and my first Schwinn, the LBS sold me the exact same sized frame. The Collegiate is too small for me as a 21" frame, but I love riding it (only 5 gears and no NH hill has stopped me yet :D ). This week I brought home a '62 Continental in a 23" frame. Next spring I'll see how it rides.
