    I may not be >50. But, as a fourty something, I would like to apply for a junior position. See enclosed photo and signature. If any additional documentation is required,..........I don't see how it could be.

    Fredly.jpg
    You will notice from the above picture of my bike the careful addition and preservation of many Fredly accessories including:
    Dork disc
    Wheel reflectors
    Wired bicycle computer
    Mini pump attched next to the front water bottle cage
    Biopace chainrings
    Handlebar mounted mini-LED flaslight
    Vintage tire savers front and rear
    Rack bag for carrying: pant guards, bungee cords, duct tape, baseball caps, fast food coupons...

    You will also notice carefully selected professorial attire worthy of a F.U. instructor.
    Helmet with visor
    100% cotton cycling jersey
    High tech denim cycling shorts
    Grey athletic socks
    Black walking shoes

    My disertation was on the application of bungee cords to keep camping equipment on touring bikes.

    Graduate level work on the theoretical limits of the number of water bottles a bicycle can carry and the advanced use of garage doors in bicycle pictures.

    DG, I've noticed your posts have a knack for bringing the worst out of us.

    It's a gift. Carry on.

    Winner! With your language skills we should be able to attract foreign students who will pay handsomely to study at your Fredly feet.

    Mort Canard for dean of Fred University! With that impressive list of qualifications on his CV he is the top candidate for that position. What say y'all?

    Although the rising stem and the high spoke count wheels have promise, the seat to bar drop is too great. I would like to see the handlebars at least 6 inches above the seat and a much bigger bag under the seat.

    I like this a lot. The picture is worth a thousand words. This guy is on the road show recruiting.

    Large seatbag has already been taken by Zippy (clearly a high qualification) so I will hang my application on my longstanding advocacy to installing a rear-view mirror on an otherwise sexy road machine. (And not one of those groovy little Italian mirrors either.) I'll post a picture tonight.

    +1. I believe Mort is qualified to be a Dean at very least... well above mere faculty standing. (Oh RATS... Bill has already beat me to this idea. I second his motion anyway. Dean of Fredly Education and Liberal Arts has a good ring to it. Perhaps even an endowed chair is appropriate?)

    Perhaps someone could name several people to Department Chairs , and they could slug it out for Dean .
