Which is really silly, because you would think after the first one hit the other two would have ducked!
Ba-dum-bump!
I always heard start a lecture off with a joke.
Did it work?
But seriously folks...
Oh Lord, I'm in a mood.
Where was I?
Oh yes...
So today and yesterday I have been hearing some very encouraging news coming out of all places, Libya. Yes, where all the hull-a-baloo about the crappy movie,the violent protests and deaths seems the majority are speaking up once again. True to their word that the radicals spearheading these violent outburst DO NOT speak for the majority, seems a VERY large contingent of the common man has taken it upon themselves to disarm several of the fanatical militia involved in the uprising, and driving them out of their encampments and compounds! This move motivated the new government to call for the disbanding of all in country militias not directly under control of the government. I send personal condolences to all the families who lost loved ones in this brave and bold move for freedom. As I stated earlier, they are going to decide their own fate and their own form of freedom and democracy!
Long Live a Free Libya!
Well, today i was a bit of a lazy lout. Nothing new to put up, sorry. Was doing mostly repairs all day amongst chatting it up with customers, visitors and well wishers! Did manage to get some nice new goodies, too! One of which is a wee bit of a mystery I must say. A 26" MTB, big frame, with nice clean lug work and a very light frame. Some higher end Shimano equipment but definitely late 80's early 90's but NO markings except for a stylized "R" on the headset similar to the ones on a Rolls Royce? Needs ALLOT of work but I really believe she'll be worth it. Sold the Bianchi right quick to one of our regulars, this will be his twelve bike he's bought from us, so happy trails sir! (and see you in about another month)
Well, Momma goes away on Wednesday to visit her family in MO for a week and RE-Cycle will temporarily become Daddy Day Care for the two little ones until the oldest one gets home from school so if you want to catch a glimpse of two of the cutest little girls you'll ever want to meet they will be on display from 9-3 each day. (please keep hands from inside the cage, and do not feed the children!)
All right, best call it a day and catch a few winks. Ya'll have a good one!

Steven-
ReplyDeleteFirst off, THANK YOU for the perfect part that was much needed and fit perfectly! My fancy-schmancy custom trike now has reverse. You rock! (But you knew that.)
As for your mystery bike, I wonder if it might be an early Rivendell. Grant Petersen had spent some time with Bridgestone, so there's a possiblitiy that he made bikes like that before he went to making pure (and I mean PURE) touring machines.
I'll have to stop by and have a look- if it's still there.
Hi-ho!

You know, now that I think about it, that old mystery bike might be a Ross. I know I've seen that logo, as you described it looking like the classic RR of Rolls Royce, somewhere. Maybe an old Ross.
ReplyDeleteWhich ain't half bad.
Either way, I'll swing by the shop tomorrow for a looky-loo.
That was my first thought, but it just feels WAY to light to be a ross. Not to mention the alloy crank, brakes, sun tour components? Seems a tad bit high tech for the old clunky (yet VERY reliable Ross!)
