I am giddily, dementedly helping keep old (and newer!) bikes on the road. Obviously I am a terrible humanitarian, though not as terrible as the guy who sends all the leftover-hoarded low-rent (for the US) parts to Africa to keep their stuff going. Don't know why he keeps coming back to Bike Works every Warehouse Sale!!!

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.
Cromor is OK, I guess. But it's no Tenax.
Or maybe it is?

It's not really a disorder, so you may not actually be sick (the jury is still out on the rest of us, here). I have U.S., Taiwan, France, Italy and Britain. Now all I need is Lotus, Malvern Star and N.S.U. and I'll have Japan, Australia and Germany. I asked the United Nations, and they said what I was doing is perfectly fine.
