Are all you component fiends,
frame gawkers, braze-on nuts, and
bike shop groupies ready? Well here
it is--"The Emerald City Select Bike
Shop Extravaganza! ". Tt is doubtful
anything ‘“everagain® will affect
your financial or mental stability
like this.
After this ride you will be
able to not only relate to any other
cycle nut, but also be able to tell
amazing tales and humorous antedotes
about the "EXTRAVAGANZA". Some of those stories may involve the frame building presentation, frame alignment demonstration, Seattle traffic, a large group of cyclists converging on a bike shop, and too many more to mention.
The ride will be led by not
one, but four, yes four bike
crazies:
BOB BRANNSON--Noted component historian and archivist, STEVE LAY--World traveling bike shop authority, JIM DAVIS--Route planner extraordinaire, Davis Tours, and TERRY EING--Just there for “bizarre side effects’.
So, be there or be square
(which really cuts down on your
rolling ability). See you there!
