Out taking a walk about 3 months ago, and noticed this Dawes laying in the front lawn of someones house. Was thinking later, "I should go knock on the door and ask about the bike..." But, I forgot.

Well fast forward to yesterday (1-7-08) and that Blue Dawes popped in my head!

I make a detour and swing over to where the house was, and sure enough, the bike is still laying in the front yard. I grab a piece of paper from my truck and leave a note in the door...something to the effect of: 'I noticed your old bike, I fix up old bikes as a hobby, if you want to get rid of it, I'd be happy to give you a little something for it. Thanks...)

I get a call today from the owner and she says, 'come and get it out of my yard. It was my husbands and he doesn't want it anymore.'

Can't beat free! It's pretty far down the list of clean / lube projects...but I'll post some pics in a month or so of it in its cleaned up stage!
