Dear Uncle Vito, I need a favor. I have this bike frame I need to unload. Nice frame. Not italian, but still nice.
Ya see, it was built by this guy in Connecticut, who likes to garden, but because he is still around, I'm having a hard time selling it. Its kinda like the Church - you can't be a saint until you're dead. Well, in this case, my frame would be worth a whole lot more and be easier to sell if this guy in Conn., like, maybe something could happen to him, in the garden maybe. Ya get my drift? That way, I don't need to deal with all the schmucks on ebay, see?
Whattaya say? We can talk and I'll give you the details. My respects to Aunt Sophia, Your loyal cousin-in-law, Dan Borden
