so here is the story i was at work one day and a guy comes in said the someone working outside told him i was into bicycles
and he proceeded to tell me how he picked up this mint red 1969 Schwinn cantilever framed bicycle all original and he wanted to sell it..... since these bikes are so hard to find i said yes i would love to take it off his hands, i took his phone # and told him i would call him when i had the money, the wife told my i would have to get rid of at least to of my bikes and i thought that was fare, besides i was almost finished one bike to sell and if i got this new one i could replace it as my daily rider.....so a week past called the guy up and told him i would have the money for him Friday. so Friday showed up and i had the cash went to grab the # out of my wallet and................ the # was gone :S i looked for over a week for this guy's # and haven't found it and all he gave me was his first name so i have no way of finding this guy....
well it has been 7 months since i talked to this gentlemen and never thought i would speak to him again and as i was working today a guy asked me if my name was Adam and i told him ya and it was the same gentleman who was going to sell the schwinn he asked me when i was done work i told him he said i would be back in a while and i didn't think ne thing of it other then he might wanna show me something cool.... so and hour and a half go by and as i was working outside and van pulled up and the guy got out and opened the back up.... there was the bike i wanted to buy... he pulled it out and aksed me what i thought of it??? it told him i thought it was amazing!! he handed it to me and said merry Christmas i was shocked that someone i really didn't even know would be nice enough to give me something i was willing to shell out cash for........ it goes to show you the spirit of giving is out there and pple still believe in good will towards men/women ... i will remember this wor the rest of my life....
i will post pics as soon as i can...
