Classic & Vintage - I didn't win a frame on ebay last night

Thank God; I have too much stuff as it is!

I had a snipe in for a frameset the other day. I cancelled my snipe about a half hour before it ended. I just wasn't ready to hear, "Justin! Did you buy ANOTHER bike!?" when my wife found it on the porch.

I did win this little guy (http://www.ebay.com/itm/230674539707?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649), though.

"JUSTIN! ...did you buy another head tube badge?"

She thought the last one was really cool. I bought a Gazelle badge that came from the Netherlands and she found the addressing pretty comical as "United States" was in Dutch. She also thinks it's funny to pronounce "Nederland". What can I say? She's easily amused.

Free shipping!

My wife disovered my last frame purchase in my closet where I had stashed it between 2 suits. They look everywhere.

Haha!

Head badges are easier to smuggle in past their keen radar. I think mine has infra red, magnetic resonance imaging software built in.

Hmm, I've had a frame that was hiding in the basement for a few months sitting in my work stand the last week and my wife hasn't even commented. I find keeping them in parts makes them harder to count!

N+1,

Where N is to impossible to determine.

Yeah, I sent the guy $15 with the assumption that this is a scam. Even at my relatively young age I forget just about everything so if the badge does indeed show up, well, yay. If nothing else, for $15 I received "thousands of thanks".

You know, assuming it shows up, it's only a matter of time until you feel you need the frame to go with it.

What's with the bit about being Roman Catholic? Trying to distance himself from our Muslim, Indonesian born president?

Trying to curry favor with the Pope so he can snag that anniversary Colnago the pontiff has and part it out.

Cool! That (and $15) should buy you a nice headbadge.

Should. Yes, I said should.

I had enough sense to start with the bike. I'm going to go in a different direction with this one.

I think there's a novena for that.

I lost one by 2 cents yesterday. One penny would have tied, the second would have won. I am very sure it was only by that much as the typical bid increment at the price level was more, and due to the timing.

That is okay.

bikes are stupid.

in any event, i have enough of these ******** items that my wife doesnt usually realize when a new one shows up.

You have accidentally discovered the key to a lasting relationship.:thumb:

Fascinating. I, too, have recently discovered this. I suspect it
will contribute to my eventual ruin. I just really am not up to
another divorce at this point in my life.:(
