I took Baby Blue out for a spin last night and picked up some work at the same time. One job in particular involved a black large-framed road bike I'd first seen about a month ago, sitting in a backyard. I couldn't see what it was, just that it was as described above. I kept cruising past the place on occasion, hoping to see someone outside to ask about it. Last night was the night and the owner was doing some cabinetry in his garage when I rolled up to say hey. Turns out that it's a custom Schwinn Paramount from the early 80's and needs restoration, so he's going to drop it on me when I have a free stand. Last stop was at the beer store and my friend there said he knows several people who need to get their bikes running. Hoping he can hook up a few tune-ups and maybe even a resto or two. He didn't make me pay for my sixer... Riding a bicycle around a town like this makes life so much easier.
