I'm finding the opposite to be true. So many great bikes available for cheap. Colnago Master for $200 (bought it), Santana tandem for $100 (passed), Ironmans for under $100, a Fuji Pro languishing for $90, a cool little Moulton 4 speed for $200. Deals are everywhere in NC. I wish I had the time to grab a dozen more and send them back out restored or better.
