The Barn Find projects
In October of 2018 we purchased a hoard of parts and these 3 projects, pulled out of a barn in North Carolina
I took this picture as I brought the project bikes home. At this time I only had a vague idea what these bikes were or if the bare frame had any other parts for it. I only really expected 2 bikes from the lot. All of this stuff has been resting in that barn since the mid-70's
August 1st of 2023 We finished restoring the last of them
They were completed one by one, along with several other bikes in the mix, and now we have a 1970 Mark 3 350 Desmo, a '62 Diana 250 replica, and a 1967 Mark 3 250 (restored using the bare frame as a starting point and digging through the parts hoard to unearth the pieces that, to our surprise, belong to the original bike)
That completes our journey of restoring the bikes from "the Hoard".
