Last night I saw a fellow zipping along and passing other bikes. I stopped at the local Tim Horton's and he pulled in. Turned out he was a migrant worker. A local charity accepts "junk" bikes and refurbishes them for the workers so they can get off the farm and to the stores. Usually I see old 10 speeds with cheap modern flat bars, mountain bikes, even single speed beach cruisers.
This fellow got an Olympian.
The bell isn't original and maybe the seat and rack aren't correct but pretty much everything else was. It had nice none standard fluted seat post and a well engraved set of bars. Compared to his compatriots I think he won the lottery. He seemed to be quite happy with it.
