...and he won't come back from dead mans curve...

Hey, I'm in a beach mood after today!  And that's the first "California Beach Cruiser" type song that came to mind.
(is that a LITTLE too morbid?)
anyway
Well I had said earlier on that the Beach Cruisers were starting to come out of the wood work and WOOF I have not been disappointed!  Picked up 4 more today!  As you will see below!  Two are ready and two more are on racks in the Dungeon!  1 in paint and 1 a full strip down (but I like the blue so I'm trying to save it!)  And the painted one shall be forever more dubbed...
The Killer Bee! (you'll know why when you see it!)
(that's called...dramatic tension.)
Well today was another humdinger of a day!
The Diamondback went out, thankfully, to a regular.  And I feel QUITE honored, as it was purchased by a regular with quite a PARTICULAR eye!  he usually buys parts from us to fix up his own unique creations, but like the DB just the way it was and "had" to have it!  Way Cool!  I thank you sir!
AND I am DOUBLY honored by the sale of the Sweet Ladies Huffy MTB, that not only went out to a.....(TUM TUM DUMMMM!!!)  'NOTHER CONVERT!!! YAY!!!
BUT, an astute one at that.  A Psychologist who wishes to park the car and ride her new found joy back and forth to work!  COOL!, and not only that but she tricked it all out, with a comfy seat and front and rear racks, and when I gave her the total she was so tickled, as the whole thing was less then a comparable bike (without the extras) at WAL-MART!!!
SO SWEET!
Joe came in to pick up the Schwinn he purchased yesterday from Angi, unfortunately i was not able to raise the handles bars for him, as I did not have a neck adaptor for it is a thread less neck, and to order one...well i had to convince him that as he is JUST getting BACK into biking after a 20 year absence, before he starts sinking TO MUCH money into it, ride it for a couple of weeks to make sure he'll stick with it!
And a Special thanks to him for the wonderful "30 years ago while renting a bike in Jamaica" story! FUNNY!!!
Well Jose' and Puddles were on board today as Zombie-Boy took along weekend, and they got a crash course in "assembly line" building, as we were SO depleted of goodies!
They prepped and cleaned two cruisers and 1 MTB, while taking care of some re-pairs.  And while we are on the subject, THANK YOU for all your trust folks, as always with leaving us with your Babbie's!  We love to see 'em!  And thanks to the young man that came HERE, instead of the "other Place" to have the conversion on your sweet single speed!  I ALWAYS love a challenge!
And, lest we not forget, We greatly appreciate ALL the wonderful folks stopping in for a look as to what all the hub bub;s about, always a pleasure to chat with you!  And thanks for ll the kind words!
Well, i gotta put 1 more coat of yellow on the Killer Bee, then head on outta heah!
