Great guy, we talk, he wasn't any more sure about it than I/we are. I'm getting ready to offer him less than asking and he says "these were on it when I got it", he pulls out the scratch built bullmoose and custom stem, also finds the cam plate for the brake.

I ask if the bars and stem come with it and says if you buy it and I think was about to say if I pay full asking which at this point I am planning to.

We talk for awhile more and his wife shows up says to him to see if I want any cycling shorts. Turns out they owned a clothing company and sold it after a good run with it and still had a bunch of inventory that did not go with the sale. He brings out a couple of storage boxes and says take all you want.

I grab 3 new pair and we talk some more then I hit the road. 400mi. round trip and I was back home.

I cobbled together some stuff to make it look more like a bike.












Paging @jdawginsc and @ascherer
