Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I was just contacted by an elderly gentleman who was sold a restored antique 1940 Columbia, suposidly restored 10 years ago. He was told to check my site and the serial number would back up the year. As soon as I saw the picture of the serial number I knew it was one of the 2002 reproduction blue bikes. Further pictures of the entire bike backed up my suspicions.
I have no doubt this was a deliberate act of deception. The elderly man paid a few hundred too much for the bike but worse he did not want a reproduction and is heartbroken that someone would take advatage of him in that way.
I am really bothered by this. Stuff like this happens all the time but I will never be comfertable with it. I have no idea how someone can sleep at night acting this way.
