Subject: [CR]Swiss army bikes 1956

On German ebay there is an auction for 6 Swiss army bikes that have sat in preparedness in a military bunker since 1956. Apparently they are in mint shape. They are asking for 1200 euros for 6 bikes. Are there 5 other people interested in putting in an offer? Shipping from Switzerland is normally quite cheap, however these bikes are generally quite hefty. It has been claimed that both Kubler and Koblet started riding on Swiss military bikes. Not a bad advertisement when two riders ended up winning the tour de france.

I'm only half joking about this.
