Another random thought: Just so you can better visualize the bicycle involved, it was a vintage 70's era Schwinn Paramount with 531 Reynolds tubing, ornate chromed Nervex lugs, chromed fork tips and stays, Cinelli bar and quill stem, and full Nouvo Record components (6x2 speed). It had been repainted gold which looked great but in hind sight, destroyed its resale value. It has since been converted into a single speed.
