Never rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing dismay you
Remember all our purpose here
Bikes waiting in our queues
We save them from the scrappers torch
When people throw them out
Oh someone chucked a Rene Herse
Rene Herse,
Oh pity the chucked Rene Herse
In backyard shops, across the globe
Vintage steel being reborn
Polished to perfection
Replacing parts that have since worn
We stand back in reflection
Wow, look at the bike porn
Oh, never to be curb fodder
Curb fodder
On Flickr goes the former curb fodder
Fear not then folks of C&V
The future's well in hand
All of us are saviors
Of our bicycles most grand
Hold your tools of bike repair
And sing along with me
Oh Pastor Bob, he saved a Raleigh Sports
Raleigh Sports
Pastor Bob, he saved a Raleigh Sports.

I need to dig through my old photos and see if I can find the picture I took when I found it at the dump. Of course that was all pre-smart phone era. How old were you when I sent it to you from NH?

Currently have a '68 Plymouth Satellite 4-door and a '71 Mustang - the basic ingredients for any mid-1970's car chase film.
I'm hunting for a Rover P6 at the moment, because I'm weird.

This is just weird. Not only can I not see embedded videos, it seems I can't even see the links! I cleaned out my BF cookie cache, and it did nothing. I don't think it's Firefox, because I can see embedded videos on other sites.

It's a rough clone of this unmarked survivor LAPD '68 Belvedere (notice the Satellite trim is missing). Pic from https://copcardotcom.fotki.com/contr...-2.html#media:
Also has the correct rims on it now, not the green Fury/Diplomat police rims.

Kurt, our first car when we were married back in 1980, was a '76 Valiant, copper color, 4-door, with a vinyl top.
Love the video of your project.
