I live about 150 miles from St.Louis if anyone needs me to pick up, store, and/or deliver. Looks like a nice collection. Mike

Wow, sure miss Bob, what a wonderful and dear friend indeed.  I built quite a few bikes for his vintage collection, most notable were the Puch/Penton (not original), with the original dealer literature and the very first original prototype 175 Steel Tank Jackpiner with original dealer brochure, both being the only of their kind in the world that I know of.  Also, the actual original "experimental" 175 Sachs engine (tagged by Penton Imports) that was given to me by Dane Leimbach is there. Be interesting to see what happens to these machines in the future.

Bob was indeed a very real guy.  Loved him.  What a wonderful collection of bikes.  A couple of mine are in that bunch.  I better buy a lottery ticket.  LOL!

Really hope this collection stays together.  It would be a shame to see it scattered in lots of directions.

I talked to Michael this morning.He told me they where going to try to sale the collection as one lot.

That would take someone with some serious dollars!
