"that guy"

The LBS gives me old bikes. I get a call from the LBS wanting to know where to get a certain vintage part. I get a call from the LBS to see if they can borrow a vintage tool they no longer own. I get emails from an unknown person asking how to fix a vintage dynohub, or if it can even be fixed. People drop any old bike they find off at my house, even if I am not home...and the list goes on. We do Sunday afternoon rides when we are in town, always on vintage bikes. Everybody that sees us remembers us later, even without the bikes. But with me being 6'-2" and my bride being 5'-1" we kind of stand out in a crowd, being better dressed than the average slob doesn't help
