I wouldn't say my mind is blown, but there were some nice bikes in there...
One I can definitely see myself being interested in.

Absolute beautiful and interesting rides. That Battaglin frameset is quite something.
Not one for facebook but glad the settings allow one to view.

Perhaps the market for vintage, NOS bicycles will be flooded, giving us an opportunity to afford to do some n+1 shopping...

I like how the Fuso, the two Stouts, and the Sachs all seem to be set up with a corncob freewheel with maybe a 16 tooth largest cog...maybe that's why those bikes have never been ridden!

@gomango Lots of custom.... @Drillium Dude check out that Sparrow
Very nice collection from what I've seen so far. My favorite is the mint Sachs - glad that is too small for me

If nothing else, it certainly is good bike porn.

Lots of ifs-
type and status / taxes structure, etc.
Private, public?
Any other types of special bikes to round out the patrons interest?
Reminds me of a fellow I know, really, really well heeled. Lots and lots and lots of spectacular higher end classic cars. Crazy amount in many digits. He played some game on trying to offset the having, declaration and tax structure. Won't even begin to describe the property but I actually exceeded 100 mph (ahemm in car) in his immaculate paved driveway. He built a large spectacular fancy building ---- without permits. Yep.
Anyways, it was definitely private.

Trust me there's a lot more then what's posted. He's just getting started. Wish he would of had the Otis Guy when I was invited to see his bikes. The person who's helping him take pictures told me someone already had 10-20 bikes picked out to buy. So if your really interested I would just contact the person running the page or I can get you in contact with him.

Since we're all dreaming, how about a C&V ride to end all C&V rides.
A whole mess of us meet up at a nearby airport. We rent a big bus and drive over to this place. Everyone has one hour to look over the merchandise, then a blind auction ensues. You can bid on multiple bikes, but can only choose one to purchase. At the end of the auction, we adjust saddles, bars, swap out pedals as necessary, and go for one long ride.

Whenever I read something like this...associated with the phrase "health issues", it makes me a bit melancholy.

Yep. I've got a cousin in Grants Pass, and my sister just bought a place near Yoncalla, just north of Roseburg. Might see if I can get down there soon.
