If you were searching the net for a good affordable, possibly a collectible bike, and you could name 5 bikes in your search, what might those 5 bike names be? If you cannot think of 5, what would maybe just 1 of them be?

Still only worth what someone will give you for them. The important thing is not to do them up half ass. I cover myself with a balance of component break down by the value of the parts selling on Ebay to equal or exceed the bike as a whole. I consider my labor to be free on my projects of this type. except of course when doing a bike for someone else, I am cheap but not free. In other words, though a price i am asking may seem high on some bicycles, if you play your cards right, you would be able to recoup your money should the need come to that. This is the main reason I do not associate with dept. store fare or mere junk for that fact
There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
