So I read my email on the morning of my birthday. Email was sent late the night before and I hadn't seen. It was from a fellow retro buddy I've been pestering and nudging on and off for the past few years since sharing some photos of his recent acquisition. Was in love with it the second I saw it and it was the perfect size and almost perfect build with all the right mandatory parts the way I'd want it, and the colour was spot on. Pestering became more persistent when he added a second such bike to his collection which was also great but wasn't quite my colour and slightly bigger size.
So a flurry of emails persisted back and forth, and of course clearly no work done at the office for me for that morning! Eventually a price was agreed upon, details of payment was settled and the deal was done! Then the painful wait for the weekend to come as there was no convenient way to make it out to him during the week to complete the transaction and pick-up the bike. But finally the day arrived.
So was it worth the wait??? HELL YA!
