And the for-sale post has been reposted. That means that nobody wants it, despite its reasonable $150 price. <BR/><BR/>I, alas, would have a tough time rationalizing the purchase of a another bike.PCMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-31151444970769340392007-09-28T12:12:00.000-04:002007-09-28T12:12:00.000-04:00Check out the Craig's List NYC below:<BR/><BR/>pre war wesren flyer beach bomb - $150<BR/><BR/>Reply to: sale-434335934@craigslist.org<BR/>Date: 2007-09-28, 7:20AM EDT<BR/><BR/>It looks llike kind of bikes that you may like.<BR/><BR/>Happy Riding.Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-78366510264919113202007-09-24T22:56:00.000-04:002007-09-24T22:56:00.000-04:00Of all the bike racks in all the world, she had to bike into mine… <BR/><BR/>That’s the greatest comment ever! <BR/><BR/>How did you find your bike in my blog? It’s impossible. But you did. I know… You librarians… You find information! That’s what you do. Brilliant. And I’ve seen the movies, when you let your hair down and take off the glasses… watch out! <BR/><BR/>I’ve already warned my wife to be suspicious, be very suspicious when I come home late because of all that library work I suddenly have to do. <BR/><BR/>And I do understand the problem of front-wheel over the bike rack messing up the fender. And yeah, I usually get there around 1pm on Mondays and Wednesday, often Tuesdays. And if that primo side spot parking space is there, I grab it. I’m usually come to work with my celeste-colored bianchi, but sometimes I’ve got the Screamin’ Salmon fixed-gear As the latter is now sporting Syrian beaded work, you can’t miss it.<BR/><BR/>For what it’s worth, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the handlebars on your bike. As long as they’re comfortable. But they never are. I love bikes. I have many bikes. And I still think the perfect handlebar is waiting to be designed. <BR/><BR/>And I can’t believe I missed the spoke pattern of the wheel. Next time you’re in the library, look up this book: <I>The Bicycle Wheel (3rd Ed)</I> by Jobst Brant (1996). It’s great. Uh… in a nerdy, esoteric, sort of mathematically-inclined librarian kind of way. Alas, I doubt it’s in our library. Not until more people start getting decapitated by bike wheels.PCMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-32741541657967891522007-09-24T21:05:00.000-04:002007-09-24T21:05:00.000-04:00THATS MY BIKE! and of course I am a sexy urban attractive woman/librarian. I only lock it by the rear wheel when I arrive to work late and someone (you?) take the side lockups. My fender messes up when I sling it over the rack. I never lock it up outside like that, check out the front wheel and it's spokes are laced in a crow's feet design. This is a special bike, sold to me by the Hub Station Soho but originally built by NY Bike works, I believe. I love my bike, and plan to soon change the ugly handlebar stem and bars. But I will never change the hub, 3 speeds rule . The little basket in the back was given to me by a kid in my building, it doesn't hold anything but light.ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-7073540554800011112007-09-20T15:12:00.000-04:002007-09-20T15:12:00.000-04:00Hey, that's an old school bike.
