Title: Little Schwinn Score
Post by: reilley1 on August 16, 2008, 07:00 PM

I always smile when I hear the moaning about the death of the "good old days" of collecting when people looked out for each other and so on.

Ben sends me an e-mail about a bike on e-bay that was "missed" and went unsold  I contacted the seller and he waited a week until I picked it up.  The guy turns out to be an old 70s BMXer who was friends with Kevin Mcneal and we also shared some common friends.  Great guy

The bike might not look all chrome and nice but take a closer look and the tires are the much covered Aggresors and the bars might be AA.  He included a 76 set of mini Schwinn BMX bars which were pretty trick.  All for $64

Thanks Ben and thanks Derek
