Being a bike guy means aquiring random bikes when a friend who has a real estate agency owning wife ends up with a property that needs cleaning out and part of that is an old bike collection! I couldn't let them all go in the trash, so I made some room! I haven't made much of an effort to move them along yet, so they are hanging on hooks on kind of dirty, but I enjoy looking at them and will eventually rehab and sell them when the appropriate day comes!
