heyyy, more info on this guy in cleveland please =]
He said he got into restoring bikes when he first retired about 20 years ago and now he decided to sell them off. He was really nice and said he had a "basement full of bikes". What I saw was in his garage, which was:
-A red & white Schwinn Whizzer which had been modified to go wayyyyyyyy past 25 mph by a heck's Angel. Great shape. 1 fender ding, 1 mismatched paint spot from a previous owner, and the engine needed tuning up as I would imagine small engines like this normally do, but overall, a sweet Whizzer.
-A men's coppertone Typhoon, partially restored, stainless steel fenders.
-An immaculate cruiser I'd never seen before, I think the brand was an Emory, if that rings a bell with anyone. Looked brand spankin' new.
I'm guessing the year, but the body style was a that of a 72 Chevy Nova, with a rebuilt and squeeky clean 454. Great shape, original paint and interior, a little dusty. Said it hadn't been run this year yet.
I never saw the contents of the basement but he talked about the Bowden quite a bit and said he's got an original Pea Picker down there that he wants about $700 for. Everything is for sale, including the Nova. He knows a lot of people in the resto community if someone is looking for a rebuilt headlight, NOS headbadge, or that kind of thing. Like most all vintage bike collectors, he's super cool, friendly, and absolutely loves bikes.
If you guys want I can send him an email and see if he'd like his email address or thread posted on this forum. I don't think you'll get one of those super-cheap deals because he knows bikes, but he's also got a great eye for them and you might find a rare or unusual bike with a lot of character that you'd be willing to pay the price for.
We need contact info!!!! I need to see what an " Emory" look's like! 8) 8)
