Hey Jack and everyone,
O.K so there is this old guy in Oro Valley (north of Tucson) that rides his full chrome 50's Paramount four days a week. He has owned it since new. All the parts are original, gran-sport derailleur etc, jeez even his shoes look original. He says he is 86 yrs old. He is originally from Italy and still carries the accent. Whenever I see him I ride along at 8mph or so and chat, he tells the same stories everytime, but I don't mind. I do that already and I am only 34. Hope I am riding when I am 86 on 40+year old bike.

Jim Narlesky has owned the same Raleigh Sports for 32 yrs. Can anyone top that?
I think the baby-carrying trailer-pulling Masi Special owner might trump us all at 40 years.
