I lived for 20 years in my grandparent's house...i've always been fascinated by one of my late grandfather's friend, Mr.Roof...He used to tell me he had the same bike since his childhood, raced the bike and bla bla bla...At age 85, everyday he took the bike for a ride until disease struck, he lost a lot of mobility and had to quit riding...I've been wanting this bike for 20 years and i made him an offer...For 100$ i would take care of the bike, and ride it for another 50 years...After a intense cleanup, complete rebuilt and paint job, the bike is riding like new...It's worth a lot to me and it's gonna be in the family for a while! In honor of my grandfather's best friend, and oldest bike addict i know!
