I've lived in two loft warehouses in Detroit. The freight elevators in both buildings were always either out of order 90% of time or completely broken.. If they worked I'm sure nothing would have been said due to the bigger illegal activities goin on in the buildings but
I've never seen a loft apt. It would have been a pain to get down the hallways into my loft. I've never seen a loft with the elevator directly in the unit. You'd prolly have to have a whole floor of a building for that.

1988 at Eastern Illinois University. 7th floor of Lincoln Stevenson Douglas Dorms. I brought this bike up part by part and built it right in the living room of our dorm room. If you look out the window you can see the schools tennis courts 7 stories down. It took 4 of us to lift the completed bike up on its rear tire and wheel it in the elevator to get it out to the lobby and down the steps to the parking lot when Spring hit. I doubt the kids today would ever get away with something like this today.

I forgot to mention the 49 pan a friend and I built in his 4th floor walk up in Montreal in the 60's and the shovel I helped take out of the basement in Toronto and the 3 dirt bikes I had in the dining room of a rented house in Toronto ... was a real bitch making that right turn at the top of the back porch to get into the kitchen!!!!

I had a hardtail chop I built back in the late 70's. Re-wired it in my apartment when I started having problems with it one winter. I used to party with the apartment manager, so that wasn't a problem. It was an old house converted into apartments and run down at that. Different era, too.

My bride to be and I kept a pair of them in her apt in El Paso, back in the mid 90's. Ground floor entry, so no big hassles with getting them up or down.
