After a night of working too hard on research I had a dream that the dread pirate roberts broke into my house and stole my lab book AND the box containing my TA and Campy skip tooth track chainrings (which were for some reason lying on top of each other in the closet in my childhood bedroom in NJ). A little detective work revealed that it was actually Baron from Renaissance Cycles. I figured it out because the handwriting on the note he left matched the handwriting on the package of NOS mafac racer brakes I got from him last year (which was a complete dream fabrication as I somewhat regretfully never ordered them). There was some convoluted part about the pirate sailing up the street I grew up on every year and raiding my parents house, but I am not sure how that fit in... The odd thing is I have never met Baron or done business (bizzle?) with renaissance cycles, but dreams rarely need this type of historical accuracy.
I expect as research heats up late into the night I will have dreams about my ralleigh comp turning purple or sheldon and others having a 20 man over the top rope battle royal over correct nomenclature for fixies. Fizzle gizzle is my choice, although no one asked me.
I may have to stop perusing the list if this continues.
Thanks Pals.
