WiLd And WAcKY WendSdAY!!!

As is the norm around here, nothing is predictable. Pleasantly so!  SOP is we spend the week building bikes and doing repairs and do most of the bike sales on the weekend.  Not to say the bikes don't sell at all during the week but usually only 2 or 3 each day.  Well NOT today!  Amongst the many re-pairs we had come in, plus two FULL re-builds, One of which was a very Unique "Partridge Family Bus" inspired paint job, that the determined young man had brought to MANY other bike shops, ALL of which told him it was a lost cause, and would take to much "cha-ching!" to rebuild.  NOT HERE!!!  And boy was he ever GUSHING at the results! we SERIOUSLY do appreciate the opportunity, man.  When someone loves the concept and project as much as we do...it's a great feeling!
As I was saying, THANKS to the wonderful Angela (not my Angela, a customer named Angela) who really started off our day with a BANG!  Apparently her and her family have just moved to the area, and somehow heard about us (whoever was the bearer of that re-ferral...THANKS!) and as they are living very near the trail, they wanted bikes.  Five of them!  SO, SO, SO glad we could help!  And we will call you as SOON as the Giant is done, so hubby can ride along with the rest of you!
And I'd like to also thank Sugarshad (I think that's how his name is spelled) for today's "I'm tired of walking" purchase of the vintage Free Spirit 3-speed!  Glad we could send you off with a good deal in STYle!  And hello again to Claudio, his umpteenth trip back to do some more upgrades to his gorgeous Kronos.  And a shout out to the initially gruff, then friendly (once he realized we weren't out to screw people) Leonard.
Also the young gents who's names i DID NOT catch (slap my wrist, shame on me) for the nice trade out of the Schwinn Ranger, for the BMX and the Huffy comfort cruiser! 
I know, I'm gushing!  But man i love days like these!!  Lots of activity, hustle and bustle  GREAT folks coming into visit and hang out, it's what we love most about what we do!  And of course thanks to My lovely wife for dropping by for lunch with Miss Rozy (and of course leaving her here to hog the computer) and most of all for allowing me to down load "Mystery Science Theatre 3000: The Movie" for tonight entertainment (she SO humors me!) BIG KISS!
Managed to get the Shogun road bike done.  MAN what a gem! Pic below.  Also managed to get the Fuji FULL re-build, re-paint and custom 14 speed!  As well as the Schwinn Ranger MTB ready to go.  Unfortunately my camera is on the fritz, so I won't have pics of those two until tomorrow.
SO, without further ado, i must be shuffling off!
Night!
