Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
This is one of those stories I always read about,but never thought in a million years it would happen to me.
Have to give a monstrous thank you to Marty(cyclingday)Frank(Cyclonecoasters) and Scott( fleetwood37) for the help.
Marty found this beauty and in a wise guy mode,I made an offer,never actually thinking it would happen.we continued the ride Sunday and Scott asked me if I was going to buy the bike.I was a bit confused because there was another bike I was looking at.he told me that Marty was going to sell it.when I asked Marty,he said Frank might be interested in it,so I figured end of story.not so.Frank graciously stepped aside and told Marty to go ahead and sell it to me.I won't discuss price,but it was great.end of story,I now own a sweet bike that I never imagined in my wildest dreams I would have.I need to get it home for a good bath because logistics weren't in my favor,but chomping at the bit.
Moral to story:
There are some absolutely fantastic people in this hobby,and I'm fortunate enough to have the honor to call them my friends.
