The police auction was today, Shawn let us know thanks!!! We had three bikes taken this summer(Ezekiel did not put them away and then Qatar, I guess they didn't live and learn) We bought 8, yes 8 at the high cost of $39.00. The two I bought before David found me, were $1 each and each could be ridden right there. He said they were "Crap" but the ones he bought were for the frames and you couldn't ride them away, so there!!!! I will never buy a new bike again. What a great deal, we'll set up a bike hospital in the spring and decide which to keep and which to use for parts, it should be fun. We got a Specialized, Haro, unknown spray painted one(most likely a NEXT or Mongoose), roadmaster(David hates this one.), NEXT, Raleigh, Columbia, Panasonic, the last three are vintage 10 speeds, I love them, one is exactly like the one I had in HS and college until a snow plow plowed it. The Specialized and vintages were David's and the unknown, Roadmaster and Haro were mine. The Haro was the most expensive at 15 dollars. David confiscated my bidding card after that.(It's a 400 dollar bike new and it only needs a new back tire.) He then proceeded to buy a 97 Neon Espresso for $550.00. I took the bidding card away then. It was a fun day, we came home and put all the bikes above the garage and then cleaned it out so we could park the "KIDS" car in there. Now to call Eric to get it insured.
