C&V Instagram Accounts
Anyone out there use instagram to get their C&V fix?
There are thousands of accounts dedicated to vintage bicycles (both professional and personal) and I've learned a great deal about pricing and restoration from perusing during my free time.
I figured I'd share my account if anyone wants to check it out as I post a lot of pictures of my bikes. You'll have to sort through the occasional pic of my 2 1/2 year old but he's cute as hell so it's not too bad.
My account name is - mattmason424
Some other random C&V accounts that I follow are...
steelvintagebikes
vintageroadbikes
premiumcycling
pedalpedlar
vacationforevercycling
If you're interested please use this thread to share your account as well. I'd love to get to see your bikes out in the wild!
PS - if you don't have any experience with Instagram it's incredibly easy to install and use. If you have a smart phone you can find it in the app store and it's free to download

Thanks @PortlandEddie !
Think I’ve had around 60+ come and go in the last 4 years. Most of them are pictured on my Instagram although I went back through an old phone the other day and actually found about 8 or 9 more that I never got around to posting so I think the real number may be closer to 70.
I’ve put every dollar I’ve made off those 60 or so bikes back into acquiring my current collection of what I would consider 8 very high end C&V bikes. Almost all of which meet my grail criteria and aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. At some point I may get back into more of the flipping game but to be honest right now I’m just really enjoying riding the bikes I’ve got!

I am bwilli88, there you can see mine and the cambodia clunkers I run into.
Tumbler is a nice place to find pictures also just be careful of the NSFW tumbles.

Not all of my posts on Instagram are C&V, but a good dose of them are. I post both my personal projects, and my ongoing projects at the bike co-op.

I rarely post on instagram, and I don't think I post bikes on it much, if at all. As I said before, I am noglider there as well as everywhere else.
