This bike came to me from Jimbo. I was over at his house picking up stakes to use at the Red Bug Challenge and he said he wanted to get the bike out of his garage. He suggested we raffle the bike at the race. Sounded good so I took it.
A couple days before the race the numbers looked like they would be low and bad weather was on the way. It seemed like a waste to raffle the bike for $10 so I decided I’d just hang on to it until next year.
Then I rode it down to the bus stop….. and fell in love. Her swept back handlebars, her wide seat with big springs, her fat tires, her coaster brake. I could go on and on.
So I’m going to ride her until the next race and if the numbers are right I’ll raffle her but she’s worth more than $10. She’s high class.
Damn, that’s a fine looking bike. That’s the kind of bike I always think I should get, because my idea of a good bike dates to when I was 13.
Yeah, it’s nice and relaxed. The only thing wrong with her is she needs a smaller chainring. It’s hard to chill out when you gotta push that big gear up the hills. I guess they make these for flat beaches.
