Some old person died or something and left the Berea bike club about 100 bicycles.
So there's going to be some crazy event where we give the bicycles out.
There's specialized and gary fisher mountain bikes.
Panasonic, Masi and Schwinn road- some are fixed and some are freewheel.
And there's some cruisers with coaster brakes.
So if you have a friend in need of a bike tell them about this event.
Do not come if you're just going to make the bikes into bike racks. Tall-bikes are understandable because they can move but every time I go to Al's Bar I wanna cry (that mixte Raleigh was so bomb and now its a @#!##$ bike rack).
More info to come!

those frames you speak of at al's were not even usuable at wildcat wheels. they were going to be scrapped, so we made them usuable.

You would have cried before Shane and Pat made the bike rack since there was no where to lock up bikes, especially when we roll up there post race or polo. As Pat said, all those frames were fucked and were going to be scrapped so they were recycled from the bike recyclery known as Wildcat wheels

didn't mean to insult the bike racks but I'm sure if you've seen that Raleigh then you know what I mean. It's a nice earth green, still has that great headbadge, it's just a shame that such a great bike has to go down.

So anyway, the event is in works.
We have some weird bikes.
Solid Peugeot, Nishiki, Panasonic, Schwinn (65 frame- super large)
For MTB kids a Gary Fisher Tassajara, a Specialized Hard Rock, some stupid Rosses.
Then some weird stuff like a bike called the Jazz/Street Life or maybe it's Street Life/ Jazz.

More info to come.

Well ever since the chestnut blight a real chestnut tree is pretty hard to find. Most are hybrid chestnut trees which means they have a little bit of Japanesse chestnut in them.

Ha ha, nice one.

I can see everyone, including me, is dreaming of finding that gem. Let us know the details.

sounds like you're going to have to be the first person there to get anything nice.
