Years ago, he was on his Lemond Zurich, enjoying RAGBRAI, when the R chain stay snapped.
It had been rusting internally for years, unbeknownst to him.
He just happened to break down across the street from a welding shop.
The guy had him back on the road in an hour or so.
My friend has several bikes, and no longer has the Zurich.
However, after hearing this story, I built him one, and it RAGBRAI's this year.
If you see him, say "Hey," to Paul.
He'll be with his daughter, who, after years of being taken to RAGBRAI, treated her dad to it this year, all expenses paid.
