I got my 1971 Super Course from the trash, one street away from my home. Later, I met the guy who had rebuilt the bike for the woman who threw it out. He had picked it from the trash a few towns over. Later, I met the woman who threw it out. She was glad it went to good use. I've ridden it more than any other bike in the past four years.
