Had to restart my heart

I was at a meeting and saw this vintage bike roll up, the guy went in leaving it locked up outside to drool over. it was a stainless steel Kabuki Submariner. So sweet! He came out later and we started talking bikes, he said he got it from a neighbor for 15. I can't imagine the luck! At first I thought he said if I had 15 I could take it home. He's going to do what I would, SS with a FG on the flip hub. It was soooo sweet!

Bikes: Still have a few left!

There is a Top Foods Supermarket near my workplace & I usually ride over in the morning to grab a bagel or donut. I spotted an older Cannondale parked near the Deli door and went over to get a better look & check it out. When I got back to the front door to leave the owner of the Cdale was checking out my Bianchi Trofeo. He was a traveling Computer service tech of some kind & carried his bike along on top of his work van. He had just unloaded it & was buying some food for a ride around our area. Old bikes have Soul!
