Met a guy from the early 90s

[Gooserider]

Or at least I think so. I passed him as he was heading into our local
mall---and I noticed that his bike was a Yeti. It's pretty rare to see
anyone here on anything other than 'mart MTBs, so I struck up a conversation
while he was locking up. It was a NICE BIKE. XTR derailleurs, Kooka crank,
very nice. The guy was wearing day glo green Pearl Izumi gloves and a Bell
V-1 Pro helmet. I complimented him on the bike and he said he paid 5 grand
for it new. I don't think I'd be parking my Yeti in front of the mall---but
I don't think many people here in the sticks realize how nice it was.

So you think he got caught in a time vortex or did you wonder off into the
twlight zone?

Yeah thats one thing about non-bike people, they don't know how much
real bikes are worth.

Was there a London police call box nearby?

Interesting. I built my tourer with the 1980s in mind. Looks like a
small version of the huge frames from back then.
