An hour later, he and I jumped into the Ford Ranger and drove a few blocks to pick up this lovely old bike which was already in a small utility trailer that was filled with other stuff, obviously ready to go to the dump.
When I knocked on the door, that junk bike was suddenly worth $80.00 CND, which I paid in a heart beat...
