That is cool, Gary. It's good to see those old classics displayed with some respect. I'd like to spend a day in there myself. How's his prices?

There's a place in Denver that probably has a bigger collection but the problem is the the bikes are all in piles. Stacked on top of each other, six and eight bikes deep. The back yard, the building next door and the basements are all crammed with bikes of every vintage. He has some really old and great stuff but I think he's a horder because his prices are off the wall high even though he has a lot to choose from. $700.00 for a rusty Roy Rogers bike with no back wheel or handlebars. That's ridiculous.

The place you went to looks a lot better. I'm envious.

Gary, I've wanted to see that place. Been buying stuff from them for a couple years on e-bay. Good products and service.
