How Will I Explain

[grumpyoldgit]

First there was one,at the moment there are seven,& one day next week a large box will arrive from Germany with No 8.SWMBO will take the delivery in,so I can't even sneak it in at night,but oh my,I am looking forward to its arrival,a 1973 Masi Gran Criterium,will post pics when it arrives,& the bruises subside.

Nice bike grumpy, I'm not at jealous *cough*

Anyhoo, no explanation needed, just take it out of the box and let Mrs G.O.G look at it.

If she doesn't come over all then it's time to find a new Mrs

grumpy at the moment i have 10 bikes plus a tandem and in all fairness the other half does not bat an eye lid when a new one arrives as she knows that normally it means one will go , as long as she can get to the freezer in the garage i am safe .

we need pics once safe to take please

 

[grumpyoldgit]

I must sell a couple,but which ones?.Couple of pictures from the Masi advert.

grumpy that is nice in almost the wrong way if you now what i mean , love the colour .

^^ Indeed! It's so ugly, it's pretty!!
Much as I admire colours on bikes, I can't see myself riding anything else than black though!

Are you out of danger yet?

 

[grumpyoldgit]

Definately not out of danger,I am looking for a late 1960's Peugeot PX10,I can almost feel the pain
Black is for a Rudge,or something like it.

My first proper bike was yellow.A Raleigh Triathalon 25" frame with 105 components.I put red mudguards on or fenders to you guys in USA.It look brilliant.In those days i knew nothing about resprays and changing parts so one day i took it to the local tip and walked away from it.I don't think it ever forgave me.

I would try & find a new boss,but its easier to find new bikes

[QUOTE 2310751, member: 259"]Me neither. But having said that, I always preferred The White Horses to Black Beauty. [/quote]


They look pretty from afar, yet they always look dirty once closer though!
But, I don't mind white in moderation (nor grey for that matter.. so long as we keep it 'moody' I'm good! )

I think I will give it a go without a "boss" in time.. See how it goes!

Lovely looking bike!

Just tell her that if she doesn't like it, the box it came in doubles as a coffin, as well!
