(well, over winter, my fixie is as corroded as my Raleigh is shiny) Nor is your beard grey, at least the last time I saw you which is probably... oh jeez. 2005 when you sent me down to Ace to get my Volvo fixed (and who remains one of the more colorful characters I've met)? Nah, I was at YJ since then, but probably about 2008. IIRC you've moved the shop since then. |

Yes, I show plenty of grey but with any luck a slower progression at our new completely wonderful building. I can't believe I put up with the old neighborhood that long. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Jeez, looking at the street view that is a radically different atmosphere than your old shop (the insides of which, I must say, were pretty much my idealized vision of what a bike shop should look like. Plus it was like the last place on Earth one could buy Lubriplate). Did the move affect walk-in trade at all? |

We can park in safety now with the Yellow Jersey moved to La Cross ! Am always complained abt the nayborhood ambience of goons thugs bums and miscreants... and in two passes thru Madison I was attacked by goons thugs bums and miscreants... The area is possessed by a form of Dillingeritis as scene in news reports out of Chicago. |
