I was not the first to respond to a beautiful Bob Jackson Free Spirit listed on Chicago craigslist. It did not last long at $100. I was hoping someone here got the bike?

EDIT: TED WILLIAMS not BOB JACKSON (Face in palms)

I almost cried when I was told someone else bought it. All original in very good condition.

Yes, this was my reaction when you got to that old blue Criterium on CL last year before I could pull the trigger. DAMN!

Alright, I did have a win, but I lose way more than I win. Besides, the cost of period correct components for that bike have cost me an arm and a leg. I saved you a fortune.

Well when you confuse Ted W and Bob J on a Classic and Vintage bike Forum, I think you need to have your "Bike Man Card" revoked, at least for a month or two?
