From a one-time Michigander liviing in South Dakota, THANK YOU for the memories. Remember Jake's Bike Shop in Harper Woods? - he cut & threaded spokes for a 650C wheeled bike I made my wife & I still have a poster he gave me from when Greg Lemond won the World Championship on a Gitane. Jake's had a red Tour de France model in the shop that to this day I can still picture hanging there (God, I wish I'd had the cash to get that). A classic bike shop that I have never encountered since (sigh). And I must've spent mega-bucks as a kid growing up at Schumann's Schwinn on the west side of Detroit (I actually managed to break a Sting Ray frame that they handled the warranty on). Thanks again for brightening my day.
