Impressions

Wow!  Some of you folks have caught on!  4 X 4 Friday got an early start today and an equally quick finish!  Had a trio waiting for me when I got there at 5 ta 9, and they walked away with the ladies Schwinn MTB at the 30% off.  The young men with her were going to each buy a ride as well but have to wait due to our "Cash Only" policy.  The Mongoose BMX was second to go at 25% off, and was picked up by a re-return customer for her son who unfortunately had his previous buy swiped at school.  Bastards!  Quickly thereafter a couple came in and picked out the "funky Custom" from yesterday for their son who ALSO had his bike stolen this morning.  However it was Dad who was out for a ride on the bike this morning and had it pillaged from in front of the local  mini-mart!  They were getting it for him before he woke up this morning.  Next was the ladies cruiser for a gent to bring back up North!  Our rides are going everywhere!  We also found a home for the "unique custom" to a young gent and his mom.  They came in to look with no intention of buying yet but he fell in love with it.  Side note:  has anyone else noticed that political discussion have become much more civilized of late?  This Mom and son were Republican converts, but even though our ideologies differ we were able to have a very civil exchange of perspectives.  Perhaps it's the decimation of the middle class in today's economical climate that is finally forcing both sides to realize that we are ALL in the same boat!  Just look at the progression of the RCN.  Even though many protesters were in attendance there were ONLY 3 arrests!  No riots, not even so much as heated exchanges.  And I don't often get an opportunity to say this but I must give kudos to local law enforcement as they behaved themselves very respectfully and with a great deal of restraint.  If nothing else this experience should be used as a model for all other states!
And last but not least another returning customer looking to upgrade their sons ride (clearly outgrowing the one they bought for him a few years ago) and got lucky with the Trek 3700!
Managed to get out two new goodies today!
this first one is a simple sweet 3 speed Classic Columbia!  Keepin' it on the cheap we didn't do a repaint but did a FULL refurb with new tires!  Nice comfortable ride!
ONLY $80.00!!!
 Then we go on to the first of two vintage road bikes we picked up yesterday.  Smooth riding Peugeot 10  speed complete with new tires and a 10" neck extension.  Few ticks in the paint but completely refurbed!
EARLY 80'S PEUGEOT!
ONLY $140.00!!
So as you can see we still have plenty to choose from and more to come.  Saturday looks to be clear and sunny so you have NO excuse!
See ya tomorrow!
