I may have contributed to Al's angst by possibly being the person who plucked the Sprite from the "recyctrash" pile at Recycle Your Bicycle. I grabbed a number of C&V bikes that seemed to deserve another chance, but now with the plummeting of the resale market they've become less of a historic asset and more of an inventory burden. And with the overall lack of sanity around the shop, we don't need yet another previously-sane volunteer lapsing into bike-induced neurosis, psychosis, or ennui. Although we have gotten rather good at adapting to it.
