That's the title of my craigslist ad. Pretty straight forward, right?

Today Don replied. He found these two hanging in the rafters of his garage, left by the previous owner of the home....17 years ago. He never touched them until this week when he needed a repair done.

The Schwinn is a '69, the Columbia a '71. Haven't even washed them.

Must be a REALLY clean garage!

Another response to the ad...I really like this mid 80's Diamond Back as it reminds me a lot of my first mountain bike, a 1986 Accent.

This Mongoose was also in with the deal, and may end up being the donor bike for my build-off project ( sparing the 3speed Columbia at least for a time)

No kidding. My wife's Clementine might be slightly longer in the chainstays but that Diamondback makes up for it on the other side of the seat tube!
