A few years ago my an uncle to a good friend passed away in Colorado Springs. He had been a character in rides around that area for some time, as we learned, but alcohol got him in the end.
He left two huge storage rental spaces. Between the two, we pulled out 110 complete bikes, plus frames and parts and clothes. Among the haul were a number of Litespeeds, Pinarellos, Colnagos, Raleighs, Bianchis, old carbon bits, and an Austro Daimler Ultima with SR. The AD was probably one of the finest bikes I've ever seen and am continuously on the search for one that will fit me. About 80 of the bikes went to a local charity which refurbs bikes for those in need. The others got loaded into a box truck, driven east and sold for some really good deals at the Stop, Swap, and Save in Maryland.
The uncle, being a true hoarder, also had amassed about 50 various guns from a range of time periods.
Wild times.
