Societal Nostalgia

The Cricket came back today.
Very quiet.  
Did have a few nice visits though when a few folks came in to drop off repairs.  And some great compliments too!  Seems we have some rave reviews on Angie's List,and I had no idea we were even listed! Way cool! 
Now for any of you who have frequented our shop may or may not have noticed for the last couple of years we have had a real sharp looking 20" Crupy frame kicking around the shop.  This sucker is LIGHT!  I mean in the ounces!  The frame itself sells new for $565.00 and we figured someone would jump at the chance to do a project out of her.  Well after that long, Kaleb came up with inspiration to do a rebuild on her when we picked up a Redline with good parts and a 3 piece that fit.  So check her out now!  We tricked it out with an Eastern 44 tooth front ring. 

ONLY $125.00!!!
Also started another before and after project.  Not as prestigious as the Schwinn mind you but makes for a real nice extreme makeover.  This ones a a classic Peugeot Cross (pre-hybrid). Have already done the tear down and paint, cleaned all the components and started the re-build but ran out of time, but check out the "before"!

We got in a Trek 930 that had some real sweet components but the rust had gotten to it and the aluminum seat post was fused in the frame so we cannibalized it.  We are upgrading this Peugeot to be running rapid fire sifters with 24 speed. She's gonna be a big boy sweetheart. 
Well, tomorrow is 4 by 4 Friday, so if any of you like what you see here come on in and come early!!
night y'all!
