Machak came back!!
3 years and 4 months ago, on the Easter weekend, my Marinoni Ciclo bicycle was stolen. I was heartbroken because he was custom-made for me and customised by Rowan and me. He and I had ridden something like 50,000 km together on three continents. And not only that, but Rowan built the front wheel for me ... as my "engagement ring".
Last week, Rowan was searching ebay for a wheel for one of my other bicycles when he found my wheel ... my "engagement ring" wheel. He quickly did a search on ebay for Machak, and found him. And today ... we picked him up.
He's home where he belongs again and it's so good to see him here. I can hardly believe it!
