Why would some old guy have a bunch of Murrays and Huffys in his barn? Maybe he collected wonderful old bikes worth saving. You can hope.
BTW, we have a whole thread here of our own lugged bikes. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...ht=lovely+lugs

Wow. I'd never seen the lug thread. I hope to post my own on there sometime soon.

Thank-you, DebW, for posting that link. Those nice lugged bikes are getting me all hot and bothered. <sigh>

Just talked to the guy again about the bikes. He said the bikes had been in an old uncovered barn. He said there are some that are rusty, they need cleaning up (not interested) and some are damaged from the hurricane.
He said there are some are Murray and Huffy like WalMart bikes, but he remembered seeing Schwinn too.
I'm wondering if it is really worth the trip to look for handlebars or anything else I might be able to use. Of course a gem could be hiding there, even a Brooks saddle, and I'd never know unless I go see for myself.Last edited by sandra; 10-11-2007 at 11:29 AM.
