There are a lot of stories about people finding great bikes in the junk.
This afternoon I ran into a character "dumpster diving" outside a LBS. He
had a classic mid 70s Masi that he said he found in a dumpster. It looked
in pretty good shape, full Campy NR, no rust or dents. Someone repainted
it so there were no decals but it was a Masi Criterium.
I tried talking to him. He first said it was a Colnago then he became
adamant that it was a Cinelli and pointed to the bars and stem. He became
incoherent after that and stared waving a broken plastic fender. At that
point it was time to leave, he was obviously off his meds.
Maybe I need to start checking dumpsters, see if I can get lucky too.
