Dear listmembers,
I sort of knew this, but a couple of people have re-alerted me to this special event. Since the requests for my special touch has been put forth I shall respond.
A certain East Coast framebuilder of great reknown is turning 50(!!) years old today! He has a fetish for the color RED. He is a "Keeper of the Flame" in the real sense of the term, and I would like to be amongst the first to wish RICHARD SACHS Happy Birthday! I don't know what Richie has planned for the celebration, but 50 miles might be a good way to start. Then maybe build a 50 cm frame! The evening could involve 50 beers or something! The 50 miles would be easy; the 50 beers would have to be "micro brews", as in REALLY small, or he'd never make it!
My celebration will be to ride my 50 cm RICHARD SACHS (built in 1984) whatever milage Pergolizzi, Petry, and myself can squeeze in this afternoon. The rain has stopped and I think we can work in a ride.
I will toast you this evening with my friends here on the left side.
Happy Birthday, young man! Up for another 50, I hope!
