The Betty Foy went to a nice older couple who had moved from Florida. I was
chatting with them while waiting for Miesha to look for a Men's English
Jacket for me to try on.
I'm quite happy to have snagged a set of NOS Mavic 217 (559) in the
"sunset" color. They even have 32 spoke holes! I had wanted to grab the
entire batch of NOS Mavic 217 ("CD" version) until I realized that most had
40 spoke holes. I guess if I have a tandem, they will be useful but I can't
remember the last time I saw a 40-hole hub for sale.
Similar on the "Gosh I'm lucky!" scale was a new Campagnolo
Chorus asymmetrical BB for their triple cranks from about 10 years ago.
These are hard to find, especially in English threading. This one will pair
well with the Campagnolo triple that I have been meaning to put on my Riv
(to replace its current compact double).
T-shirts were $1 each at the end of the garage sale if one needed nice
T-shirts to wear. I got a "Varsity" type version to show my alliance.
It was also super nice to say hi to the Riv folks, chat with a few whom
I've not talked to for a while, and gawk at the many nice bikes that
customers had ridden to the garage sale on.
