Hey, I've stopped some of those dishwashers & bought their bikes out from under them! Amazing how persuading a $50 dollar bill can be ;-) They don't even mind walking to the bus stop... One local sold me a '77 Paramount tourer (too big for me though) at a yard sale. $50!! Saddle was sitting on the top tube.

Cheers,
