Give him points for that. I then asked him if he was a "roadie". He said he is. Give him points for that.
Then he asked me if I ever heard of a fixed gear bike. Take points away for that question.
Made me wonder if he was eyeing my gorgeous vintage bikes like a wolf eyes the next kill.
Sure he was... dreaming of neon green chains, pink 700c tires and 1/8" 5 bolt Dakine BMX chain rings!
Better bequeath your bikes to worthy C & V members lest your (future) son in law starts Dremeling and hacking away...
