Subject: [CR]Coloral water bottle on craigslist and hello
I just saw this on craigslist Greensboro and thought I would pass it along:
http://greensboro.craigslist.org/bik/389454820.html
The seller is unknown to me.
And, I'm unknown to you. Although I did meet a few list members at this
year's Cirque. I've been reading the list for several months. The list and
level of expertise here is awesome. I have really enjoyed reading it.
I am a '54 Holland made in North Carolina, USA. I like finding and bringing
old bikes back to life. Wrenching is just as much fun as riding for me. I
keep hoping to find a '70s Cinelli track bike in the dumpster, but I don't
have any exotic bikes for now. I have an on-topic Schwinn and Raleigh that
are my main rides. I also have an on_topic '75 Del Romi that I can't find
information on. If anyone knows about a Del Romi labeled Made in West
Germany I would like to hear it. And, while I'm asking for free information
I would like to know who decided the down tube closest to the back of the
front tire would be a good place to mount an open mechanical shifter. I have
a theory that it is the same guy that decided the exhaust of a tractor
should be pointed straight up in front of the driver.
Just wanted to make sure the right people saw the water bottle,
