A Block Off Of 'Ol Chip!

Shout out and thanks to our bestest Bud, Chip!  He had brought in a Sweet (But VERY rusty) Schwinn World a few weeks back and we Finlay got around to re-building it....Or tried to.  It's a sad day when we let a bike beat us and have to throw in the towel.  After Four hours and three mechanics (and several different rusticating, a blow torch, pilot holes, hammers, and some VERY colorful Daddy language)  we could NOT free the aluminum seat post from the steel body.  Sounds insignificant I know.  but trust me when I say, when steel rusts to aluminum...Un, UNH! 
HOWEVER!  All was NOT lost!  the majority of the components were salvageable and although it was not quite as big as the Schwinn, we happened to have an old Raliegh frame kicking about the garage, needed some fresh paint, and all the Schwinn Chotsky's (and a few this and that) and we have the simply FAH-BU-LOSS!!!  Ride below!!  So thanks to Chip, so much for helping to bring this beauty to life!
Also thanks to all the folks for bringing in their re-pairs today, and we got to see several familiar faces tuning up their rides! SAH-WEET!  And to all the looky loo's...we are finally starting to build up stock again!  Come check us out!
All right, it's been a busy day, and I need a SHOWER!
Night y'all~!
