Whats a guy to do?

As i left the house this morning on my way to physio for the new knee my dear wife mentioned that there was some talk about doing an intervention in the family,something about someones bike acquisition problem.Can you imagine? As i was returning i saw a few bikes for sale outside of a new little bike shop,some with drop bars.Well for about a hundred US this girl was coming home. Finally i find a bike my size.Built by Ken Legge of Vancouver BC. Nice tubing,nice components,nice shape.
My wife did not even raise an eyebrow,she actually said it looks to be good quality. God bless her.

Nice. Jubilee cycles is still in business. It's not too far from where I work, maybe 10-15 mins by bike.

So you needed physio-therapy after acquiring a new knee? You added a touch of retail therapy and ended up with a new Legge? Where will this end? ;-) Nice looking bike!

Congrats on your find! It is a fine looking bike. I have a very similar Legge and it is a pleasure to ride.

If you have the surgeon do the other knee, you should be able to score another really nice bike as well!
