Chinook is an AWESOME find!

For me, it was this one -

FB Marketplace, "Mens Specialized Bike $65." I saw red - as in, "red Specialized = good," did some Google-Fu and figured out it was likely an '88 Sirrus - and then I got in the truck and drove out there. It had been hanging like that in a climate-controlled storage room since 1999 after being abandoned when the son who owned it left for California after graduation and never returned for it. The house had sold and closing was on the horizon, and it went into the truck for $50.
