Sunny Skies and Balmy Breezes

These are a few of my favorite things (sung to the tune of "My Favorite things" By Julie Andrews.  Gosh show tunes are FABulous!
Sorry.  Dropped out of character there.
But seriously.  Yesterday was quite a busy one!  Dyno VFR went to a very discerning young lady yesterday.  needing to fit her riding style (and height) A very Demur lass.  Surprising considering the Height of her Father (I think he stunt doubled for Chewbaca)  The Schwinn Sierra went to a kind gentleman purchasing it for a visiting dignitary (or something like that).  Met and had a wonderful conversation with a gentleman who showed GREAT interest in the '54  Raleigh Tourist looking for a restoration NOT a re-paint.  Yea we can do that, but it brought up an interesting (friendly) debate over which way is "right".  A traditionalist will say you can mechanically re-pair the bike but not change components, nor re-paint (some don't even want you to CLEAN it!)  Us?  well as we have been accused of making "Franken-bikes" I assume you know where we stand.  We wish to crate good looking, mechanically sound transportation.  Giving them a second life, if you will.  But as opinions are just that, none are wrong or right.
And to the young couple eager to get back on their bikes after a long pause, Thank you for entrusting your re-pairs to us, and "Happy trails" to you!
And to my lovely wife whom while perusing the net the other day discovered a site that shoes "Out of syndication" TV shows, and out of which lo and behold, was one of my FAVORITE Stupid comedy shows "The Tick" The live action show featuring Patrick Warburton as the Tick!  A special note of favoritism as the original comic book was written by a friend of mine, Ben Edlund at New England Comics.  A chain of comic stores in Boston, Mass that were a rival of the comic shops I worked at, at the time.  WAY BACK in the heyday's of comics circa' the '80's!
Whoa, MAJOR digression there, sorry.
Well today seems to be shaping up to be a busy one as well!  SO I better get motivated!
Talk at ya later!
