Barn find

[fastwin]

I agree. I have several old bikes from the 80's in a storage bldg. with no tarps or cover and they don't look like that at all. A little dusty, sure. But no freaking way it got dusty like that with a cover. I don't care if the "barn" was at ground zero for dust storms. Looks like some Hollywood prop guys dusted it up for a movie scene.

There are barns and barns 
A building in the city, can be quite different from a real barn in a farm, where they can store any sort of farm related material.
I don't see why a collector, which keeps his bikes pristine (again, look at the images in the eBay ad), has to cover his bike with crap to make it look like a barn find.
No reason.

This.

I should post some pics of my bikes in the barn.

I took it to mean that the bike was found that way (all dusty) when HE bought it; that HE found it in a barn looking like that and now it is all cleaned up. I am not suggesting he necessarily faked the "barn find" per se, just that the story looks and sounds suspicious to me.

The bike is only a handful of years old to begin with and here it was found, some time ago, all forgotten about in some barn. Who "forgets" about an ALREADY rare bike? This bike is 1 of 100 and the original purchaser paid top dollar for it (and really only got a special paint job) and leaves it there?

I know weird stuff happens all of the time, I am just suspicions of THIS story.

If he faked it, it was to generate interest and discussion. Which it has.

that guy needs a garage.

Why do you need a garage, when you have a bike-filled man cave

Auction was ended early.

I was wondering what the bike would go for.

Really? How the hell can you play a game of pool when a damn Tamburini is in the way?

 

And it looks like another Needless Markup 748 between the other Tamburini and the 999.
