The first step in solving a problem is admitting it exists, right?
1960’s? $h!+-Brown Schwinn Varsity. Size, way too small, like a 17” frame. Complete, almost as-new condition complete with original matching translucent brown plastic bar “tape.” Why do I own it? That’s a really great question… Because the 60’s and 70’s were cool and everyone needs to own a Varsity at some point? Nope, I was thinking that the mint chrome fenders could be used on something else that I own. Yours if you want it for the low, low price – Free.
Co-Motion custom mountain bike frame 2001? Orange. Warranty replacement of headtube by Co-Motion. Cool frame, but why do I need 4 off-road bicycles? $300
2007 Raleigh XXIX Size Large 29’r singlespeed complete bike. As new condition, ridden less than a handful of times. No pedals, no saddle, otherwise complete… $500. http://www.morcmtb.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=558&cat=2
Kick some Asphalt – 1989 Trek 7000 “mountain bike” 19” frame. Good commuter potential. Needs tubes, chain, and cables. Sticker on top tube says "Kick some Asphalt" You can have it as-is or $50 and I’ll make it ready to ride.
1950’s Hawthorne cruiser. Rust color. 1” pitch chain. Very cool bike, broken weld on seat-clamp, somewhat bent handlebars, but they have too cool of a shape to replace. $50 or best offer.
Mid 90’s Diamond Back “mountain bike” Ancient geometry, super looong wheelbase, horizontal dropouts. About a 20” frame. Wald basket up front, singlespeed conversion, fenders, riser bar. No pedals, no saddle with sale. Great grocery getter, liquor store runner, or commuter. $50
I’m going to refrain from listing more right now. Due to the overwhelming response guaranteed to generated by the whopping 5 or 6 people likely to encounter this, I am bound to busy negotiating the terms of sale. If I cannot manage to generate any interest here (very likely the case) perhaps you will be morbidly curious enough to read if I plan to feature each one and explain my rationale behind obtaining it or hanging on to it?

Someone was looking for a cruiser bike on MBL.
huh...decided to sell about 18% of the bike inventory. cool. I will say the 520 rides like a dream. Whomever gets it, will be very satisfied.
You are sick. How do I know? I have a similar number of odd-ball bikes hanging around. I just picked up a frame I don't need last weekend. In my defense, I'm trying to sell a bike on Craig's List right now.
You have a lot of bikes.
That Trek 520 sounds nice. I'm actually almost on the market for something like that, but not quite ready. Also I fear it would be a little big, and I really need a complete bike. And I'm not local.
So that's probably too many factors for that to work. Tempting, though, in the abstract.
Hi- saw your post about the Trek 520 for sale- is it still available?
Forgot to ask this earlier- if the Trek is still available, could you ship (Illinois)or does it have to be local pick up?
Thanks in advance, Stuart homewood@core.com
