Bikes: 1978 Trek TX700; 1978/79 Trek 736; 1984 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport; 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP; 1985 Trek 620; 1985 Trek 720; 1986 Trek 400 Elance; 1987 Schwinn High Sierra; 1990 Miyata 1000LT

That's a 400 Elance. That's a pretty cool bike- 531 main tubes and CrMo fork and stays (I hear Tange sometimes and True Temper sometimes). The components on there are all "good," and good looking stuff- but sits just south of 105 or Deore.

IMO- it's a bike to upgrade.


As far as sharing your good fortune- the world needs more people like you.

I'm fortunate enough to be working (at a hospital) and my wife is fortunate enough to be working from home.

Shortly after the 'stay at home' thing started here, we ordered carry out from a very small restaurant that we go to from time to time. It's a small place with one guy who cooks and serves... It's never high volume- but he's ALWAYS made us feel special. He said his carry out business was doing less than 20% of what he was doing before the stay at home order. When I picked up the carry out I asked for change for a $20 to give a good tip- he opened the drawer and I saw that he only had some singles, and the look of embarrassment and sadness on his face hit me right in the stomach. He just got a really good tip. I hope it made a difference to him.
