    If (and this is a big if) the bike was prepped for storage properly (and in a climate-controlled space), that could be exactly what happened.

    Ha I read that the same way. Rode into barn owner and he passed. Doesn’t look like a horrible deal though.

    I was going to ask for a picture of the hole in the barn;)
    Ok my bad form but good that someone has helped the bike to live on . RIP the previous owner will be happy that someone saved his baby.

    Dood, that Grateful Dead sticker is worth like six bucks! You're really only paying $3094 for the bike!

    Dreaming--- you're not kidding!!!

    It's perfectly legal to buy a bike, not sign, then flip. Then person who eventually signs as buyer fills out the forms as if he bought it right from the owner who's name is on the title. The "middlemen" are not in the picture.
