I'm torn between the bike and the equally awesome tablesaw.

Bridgestone bikes have a mystique which makes them greater than the sum of their parts (and tubes). You should never miss a chance to acquire one! I, however, miss such chances because I don't know where I'd store another bike. I'm thinking about getting a laundry dryer over washer to replace my side-by-side washer/dryer, which would free up space to mount another bike (Bridgestone?) vertically against the wall.
If you don't have a running lawnmower, get your son in law to punch out some of the drywall, maybe have a handyman tidy up the holes.
But be careful, most bikes are too large. Or too small. But you could make it work. Or maybe you couldn't. But like most Americans, the top tubes are too fat. You could also build it up with some super sweet white parts... like Sante or Ole. Yum.

Nice! That drop bar model. That's the one I don't see pop up often. So cool
