Bigmark...that is one heartwarming story. It must have been great to see the look on your son's face. I bet it was priceless. I remember back when I was 10 (1971) and my dad took me to the bike shop to get my first 10 spd. I even still remember the bike. (green Dijon 10 spd race bike...my first geared bike with drop bars). He couldn't get me off of that bike after that.
My hat's off to you.
Cheers!!
Brian
