A few bikes yes, framesets.......................A lot!
When doing a purchase from an old Campagnolo and Zeus dealer here in Holland, the old man was showing us around. As we were walking towards the back, I took a Detour to the right and to another right! And JACK POT! I found what I was after next to the workshop!.........Bins and bins of Campagnolo! I yelled!............YES! No sooner than said Cecile and the old man was there..............I pointed and said I want that!........She said! But he wants us to buy his old unpainted house brand framesets, if you want this stuff then you need to buy that. I said how much for the Campa and how many framesets are there and for what price?....Cecile said 75 framesets at this price! Right off the bat I said I'll take it...........Cecile then said, but you haven't seen the framesets yet? I said I don't need to the Campa stuff will pay off in the long run!.................The face on the old guy!............He was lost for words, maybe thinking he sold it on the cheap side!
Get in and out as fast as possible......................Will leave them wondering?????????????? What was that all about??

> Every once in a while I'll hit the local resale shops just to see if there
are any bikes worthwhile, and sometimes there are. I did buy a bike today,
but only for the toe clips. It's a red schwinn traveler that is nearly as
tall as me but I just wanted the christophe mini toe clips. 15.00 for toe
clips isn't too bad. Of course now I've got a bike that will probably just
wind up getting donated back to the same store. I should of just asked to
pay the 15.00 for the toe clips and left the bike. I once paid 30.00 for a
pannasonic gas pipe bike just for the christophe leather covered clips it
had.

just for a tiny part or bits.
