Sad end to a sturdy beast
Nov-20-18 07:29 pm
My brother-in-law reports the demise of his trusty commuter ride. How many of you keep your receipts for 48 years?
One Mercier racing bicycle, age 48.
Born 1970. Birth certificate attached. I was 17 when I bought it. Note the telephone numbers for the bike shop on the sales receipt.
Raced 1971-1973, including in the 1972 U.S. Road National Championships.
Commuter bike, 1973-2018.
Died today of a broken frame.

Cool story! Receipt says "white" - looks blue to me. I guess he had it painted - and upgraded to 10 speed at some point!
