And comin' 'round the back stretch....!

Friday was like the Kentucky Derby's long shot.  Started out slow,  but finished strong!  Many re-pairs came in within the last two hours of the day, and thankfully we were able to get 'em out before close.  All except one.  The folks were waiting on a cab for their dinner reservations and will pick up today.  Thought we had it in the bag until we tried to true the rear wheel which WOULD NOT cooperate.  so had to clean and re-place the rear single speed!  Se' la vie!
Had a very nice lady come in for an estimate on a bike she had just picked up from a pawn shop down the road (AHHHHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!) Seems it was a little "wobbly".  Well that was due to the fact that the crank bearing's and wheel bearings were shot, the brake and gear cables were rusted solid, the left gear shifter was cracked, the seat was broken and the tires were dry rotted.  Hmm?  Well upon informing her of the cost to repair it all, she (wisely) decided to return the bike for her money back, and buy the Murray that we had here when she got back.  So a little while after leaving here I sent Adam out on the Murray to test her out and make sure everything was AOK!  As fate would have it she was walking back up to the shop as he rode out and came in quickly afraid we had sold it!  So cute!
The enthusiastic young couple who had bought the Fuji came in and picked up the Bottecchi, as it was FINALLY done.  I do so HATE waiting on parts!  But they are very happy and ready to ride together!
We did some buying yesterday and are in the process of prepping the last of them, and as the whining call of the grinder informs me it is time to get my keister to work!'
Peace!
