That old Mercier is in great shape and pleasing to the eye. A few have come my way, over the years. One of the last to show up was a product of boredom...

My son was visiting me and bored. I told him to hop on one of my bikes and cruise the back lanes in my neighborhood. 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...
