As well you should, Chuck. This man is a cad. A bounder. Probably rides a Litespeed. Wears spandex. Or maybe he doesn't even ride a bicycle. A Hummer-owner, that's it.

And for those here who trot out "it's his bike, it's just a thing", blah, blah, blah... why on earth do you bother collecting classic lightweights anyway? Collect string. Or bottle caps. But to take a complete bike that obviously someone cared for and put a lot of effort into completing and then part it out... yep, he drives a Hummer. I know it.

My condolences.
