Bike Barn Pictures and the St. Croix and Roadmaster

[Greystoke]

Sorry I didn't get these on sooner. I had to find a cable to go from my camera to the laptop. Here's a bunch of photos from the barn. Really dark in there with no lights. Don't even bother without a good flashlight! The pic with all the tricycles piled up is the hayloft and there are lots of bikes there that I didn't dig after due to a family of raccoons in there too. Two bikes I bought where a Hiawatha St. Croix and a Roadmaster. Not sure if it is a Luxury Liner but I have been cleaning both up since these photos. Enjoy. Brian

yeah, I did not expect to see giant piles of bikes and trikes scattered all over the place, that is just awesome.

Was the blue and silver Western Flyer/Hiawatha for sale?

Man, I like to come join that party! Perhaps I missed an earlier thread... are these available? ... maybe location? I'm not greedy, just 2-3 bikes for me.

Sleeper Sedan and Dr. T: check out the earlier thread " The Bike Barn" here in Fresh Finds. It is in SW Michigan and as far as I know he will sell anything if the price is right.

Yeshoney, The bike on the right is, according to the chain guard, a Hawthorne. Jim, the owner, says that is his bike he rides around. But as above, everything is for sale if the price is right. That is one of the first bikes I saw when I went there. I keep sticking it back in the barn so it doesn't rust. I think it has been repainted. I doubt if he will ship anything.

You guys will have to excuse my lack of knowledge on this old bike stuff. I just got into it last summer. Prices: I guess the old adage is: the price is what you are willing to pay for it. I have gotten bikes in the last year from $10 to $125. Some I know I got a deal, others, I got burned by my enthusiastic ignorance. There may be deals to have in this barn. I can't be the judge of what the owner is asking. I'm hoping as time goes, he will be more flexible on prices.

so is he cool with you giving out his info or would you have to go with me?

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

I came across a barn like that once :mrgreen: It was the best!
My buddy told me there was a guy with a bike for a mailbox, and what looked like a pile of bikes outside of a barn.
I went to take a look...turned out there was more than a pile there was a barn and a trailer full all for sale :shock:
I didn't have any money at the time But this thread makes me want to go back there now
