Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you're talking about the one posted on March 11 (the French blue 29er with the second top tube turning into a set of curved second-seatstays), I saw the new owner take possession of it just after the sale wound up. Waiting for credit card transactions

Ha! Had to miss it this year as my wife had come up with tickets for the Antiques Roadshow. Fewer bikes, more standing around, but probably better for my wallet. I _do_ need a few things, however, so I reckon a trip eastward is still required. Congrats to all who enjoyed a good day, grand

I feel like I'm getting better at the Garage sales the more I go to. I think I've been to pretty much every one they've had. This year, I didn't start out in the cheap stuff, but went straight for the far end of the lot. I briefly considered selling all of my other bicycles (and probably

Ok I was happy for all you Westerners, until I just learned the light blue Prototype Hunq was up for grabs. Any one know if it survived. I purchased a 60 Cheviot frame that is likely to be too small that they are storing until I stop out in July. Calling RWB later in an attempt to upgrade.

I didn't get to go to the garage sale but I was just able to purchase a Betty Foy for my fiancé. It's waiting out on the West Coast for us to move! One more month until my residence reads Oakland again and my partner rides a Riv! I just hope there weren't any 54cm Hunkypillars that went for a

That attic haunts me in my dreams. A Legolas in pewter? 59.7 by 58.6, you say? Looks like the only one we've got is a second since it accidentally came with clearance for 50s. Does $250 sound right? I'll grab us some coffee while you decide. I awake, fists clenching the sweat-drenched sheets.

It would be so cool to see a shaky-hands production video of the attic, lit only from an LED headlamp, with hushed voice-over as an anonymous narrator walks furtively past the various frames and concept bikes, calling out model names, sizes, colours... - Andrew I've only heard rumours,
