Just a lil peek...

So who holds the longest record of not opening a shipped bike? You or @cyclingday

Probably @aasmitty757 !

I haven’t kept track, but my 38 Elgin Robin is going on 10 years or so.
I’m going for King Tut’s record.

Unplanned but 12 years for me...picked up a 54 black panther weeks before my son was born...then life changed for the better...bike sat in the box until he was 12 and it became his first build. It's a keeper!

 

[cyclingday]

Yeah, but did you cut the tape on it when it arrived, or did it sit unseen and sealed for 12 years?

Yep, cut the tape to see the bike and closed the flaps. Technicality .

 

[cyclingday]

We’ve all done that.
We’re talking King Tuts tomb here.
Sealed up and unseen for the ages.
You bought it, and stored it for decades, without ever actually laying eyes on it.

Here is what happens when you wait to long.....I was with my dad at the local flea market when he found an old Coleman lantern. He was beside himself " been looking for this model for years!" he haggled with the guy and got it. We went back home and he opened a hard shell case to put it in. He already had the exact same one in the case!!!
he is like , " whoa , when did I get this ? "

@fordmike65 is the only guy in the world more excited to see a girls bike in a box than a boys bike. Mind you, the same guy holds the record of most girls bikes owned by a man. Don't get me wrong, I own a ton of girls also but.... they're still outnumbered by mens bikes though.
