Bicycle Heaven Museum

I know a lot of members here prefer modern equipment, but I kinda feel like this thread is a must see for any and all bike enthusiasts. There is a crazy "museum" in Pittsburgh PA that is just insane. Worth looking.

One of the C&V members posted "That's my kinda freak show!"

It's just a dude that took collecting to an insane level. He got the old factory space after filling five garages with 2,400 bikes and realized that nobody was able to appreciate them there.

I dig the '60s black light room.

It was either that or have a relative sign him up for an episode of hoarders. I'd like to look around but wouldn't know enough to appreciate what I saw.
