Ah man, a Waterford! Those are beauties.
This past weekend, I saw a Univega mixte in my size(!) at the local GW. It was marked $29.99 and half off of that price. I was so tempted. It would be nice to have something that I can just hop on and I don't have to worry about when I go shopping. Well, not too much anyhow. But it needed a lot of work and I don't have the space(or the storage) to work on something like that right now. I think it would be kind of fun to rebuild a bike on my own though. It would give me a chance to learn to how to do repairs and such without mangling my Rodriguez. Good thing it wasn't there when I went back to make a donation the other day. I'm not so confident that I could have turned it down twice.
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
