This bike basically found me. A friend called and wanted an evaluation of the bike, I let him know what I thought of it. A nice period racer with great parts. I gave him a range on the value and he said 'thanks'. A week goes by and he calls me back and says 'it's yours'! I was dumbfounded. He owed me some money for a bike I am building but not as much as he had to pay for the bike. He claimed I had done him a bunch of favors and that I should have the bike. Like I said she found me!

NICE

Isn't it great that when you combine your passion with good karma that wonderful things can fall into your lap! Great story!

On that note, I would like to say THANKS (on behalf of all the members) to the team who setup this forum! You should be proud of how you helped folks from all over the world to build friendships - as well as bikes!
Cheers,

DITTO !

On behalf of my fellow moderators, Steve Munro (Loudbike), Fran McDermott (fmcd92), Mike Weber (Crankyroller), and Gary Palmer(Palmer), thanks to all of you for making this a great place to visit everyday. We are all so lucky to have made many new friends around the world and have all learned a thing or two about our favorite passion. Also a big thanks to the guys that post all the time and keep the topics and interest going. With all of our efforts I hope the Forum stays alive for a long time. Best Regards, Lou (ducttf1)
