Bikes: I hate bikes!

I found a tiny lbs in a strip mall who has vintage parts, does not charge an arm & a leg for them and seems pleasant. I walked in one day and asked if he had any french threaded 1" headsets. He returned w/ a Campy NR complete w/ bearings. "How much" I asked. "$20" he replied. It was a good day.

I have since gone back and purchased a new children's bike from him for my daughter and had him do a wheel true and replace a broken spoke. I could have done all of it myself but figure I need to help where I can, so he can stick around.
