My Red Murray met an ignoble end also. Some kind citizen ran it over in a parking lot when I was inside Ben Franklin checking out comic books. I will always remember coming out of the store and there my best friend was, mangled, trashed, and obviously in severe pain. I never got over it. I miss that bike. The only thing I saved was the Bendix 2 speed hub. Matter of fact, lacing it into another rim and spokes was my first attempted wheel build. I was sure I knew how. I didn't. And it ended up in the trash like the rest of the bike. In retrospect, throwing it out was the first of many stupid things I was destined to do in the following 15 years.
