Hey, Tom. Yeah, I'm in a small midwest college town 70 miles from the central city in my state. There are three kinds of C&V bikes floating around in this town: (1) bikes-of-the-people (Varsinental/Huffy/Free Spirit), (2) entry level road (Fujis, etc.) and (3) the fine road bikes formerly belonging to guys who who rode in college, never left town, then stowed bike in the garage for 30 years (not very many of those). Class two can be further subdivided into (a) drewed and SSed and (b) reasonably intact. I have plenty of 1 and 2, and maybe 1 example of 3.

Anyway, I'm not whining, really, because I don't try very hard. Should I try to drive to Indianapolis on a Saturday, spend $100, and get my loot to the basement, well, there are about five ways that my wife might detect me.
