There was a marathon on today, and since I had plumbers working in the house- it gave me an excuse to watch it most of the day.
I love that show and get excited when I catch it on. He DOES know his bikes. He offered someone $1000 for a really old Orient bike (when they offer you that much, you know it's worth so much more).
I like seeing the old bikes- such great treasures.
It's neat to see the other stuff they find, too. I'm appalled at some of the places they visit, tho. Talk about some major packrats- makes us look like a bunch of hoarders in this country (which we are).

Does anyone watch this show on the History Channel?
I catch it once in a while and it's very interesting.
One guy is a real bicycle aficionado and knows his stuff.Last edited by Zen; 07-14-2010 at 05:51 PM.

I wasn't even aware of the show until I was in South Dakota and someone asked if I knew where Le Claire was. It's a really fun show.

I love that show...ok, I have only ever seen part of one episode, but I am a firm believer in love at first sight.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Huh...I was expecting Doc Watson when I saw the thread title. Sounds interesting and I may watch it. I keep forgetting about the History Channel.
