Ahhhhh. . . . memories of simpler times. Those bikes were great. I used to LIVE on my bike. Now, I don't even see kids outside, let alone exerting any form of energy!
That list is nuts! How about the pair of graphites that went for over $2500 a month ago? I'll admit to getting sliiiiightly tempted to sell my bike at these prices.

Feck BMX..... all show no go. Heck, most of the time guys would get it all decked out and end up walking it up hills because the mofo rode like chit..... I tired, but I was over 6' and those freaking bikes were small.
So my dad brought home this home, I think in '84.....
Ross Mt Hood in chrome. Very strong, very light, lots of chrome-molly, it had this little strap in the frame to carry it on your shoulder... (its there, you can't see it)
Big 'ol bull horn handle bars...15 speed...oh it was bad. I would just go rolling through peoples yards, thorugh ditches, then kick it up on the road to speed....

You still have that laying around? Niiiiice. There are a lot of things I wish I still hung on to.

Yeah, there it is tucked in the corner.
The day I turned 16 I remember dumping in my garage at my parents house and my Dad kept it for years....I guess in the mid 1990's I had new tires and brakes put on to get it back on the road....it went back into storage and I lug it around now....

You may be correct.
