Canal Bike Rehabbed
 

After leaving the bike I got from Pepsi ten years ago outside for the last couple of years the chain no longer would do what it is supposed to do. That is go around the sprockets. I took it to the Bike Barn in Whitman on route 18 last week for that new chain. I left it outside first and coyly walked in the front door just to ask if it was o.k. to bring it inside. The average price of thier two-wheel machines is about $1500.00. In fact two of the ones they were working on last week when I was there looked like the price was substantially higher than average. Anyway I bring in this canal bike baskets and all on it, and the looks I got was hilarious. The tech who put on the new chain was very pleasant. No wise-as remarks. I decided that since PJ the tech was so nice I would let them make a few other fix ups on it. PJ explained everything to me just as if I was buying one of the new racing machines they sell. They just called and let me know it is ready. Just based on how decent they were at the Bike Barn I would reccomend them to anyone.

Swimmer - You got pictures? Outfitting a bike right now.

Did he pimp your ride? Chrome everwhere, pom pom tassels hanging from the grips and trading cards in the spokes?

I can see you now, cruising down the canal with flashing blue lights and ringing your bell. :grins:

I've dealt with them since they were a tiny little shop(close to 20 yrs ago), very nice guy that owns it and excellent staff, woudn't dream of going elswhere

What the heck is wrong with pimping your ride?? I know someone that has a pa system and sireeeeeen system rigged on HIS bike :bl::bl::angel:

Style is good for a canal cruiser.:kewl:

Matt knows that I'm talking about!

without an assistant this thread is just, well a little vanilla.

What he said :hihi:

Its just a basic mountain bike, not sure it is worth pic's

It would be if you had an assistant:hee:

Yeah you must get an assistant or it will be just another canal bike and I have one of those already so i don't need to see it.

To get my wife to pose as did Bronko's wife did I would have to get a whole bottle of Chardonay in her. She looks pretty good for 58.
