This information came from a friend of mine, so idon't havethe exact

details. But here is what he saw:





I don't remember the name of the store.

The place is right next door to Classic Trophy.

South side of SE Foster Road between 79th and 80th.

Kind of a "low-rent" looking area, with a bunch of

shoddy bikes out front. Rusted-out mountain bikes,

kids' BMX bikes... and 2 brand-new-looking beauties.



In case anyone on OBRA Chat is looking:

1. FUJI Roubaix-Pro, blue and silver/white, 56-ish

2. Specialized Roubaix, white, sloping top tube, 54

Almost no wear on the tires; in fact, the tires &

bikes might actually be new.



They caught my eye because they looked so TOTALLY

out-of-place in front of that store, in that area.

Hard to believe that somebody bought bikes that nice,

then suddenly realized "oops, I'm broke, better hock

these bikes."
