Re: [RBW] Re: Introduction - Doug Shaker
Oh, man, I remember. I used to make leather washers for fender mounting
(I still think it is a good idea)
and then give them away in return for a postcard from a ride. That was
fun. For a while my refrigerator
had a pretty healthy compliment of postcards on it. Fun!

DOUG!! Long time, no see/hear. You made some leather mud flaps for
my Ram's fenders w-a-a-ay back in '05 or '06 I think it was. Good to
see you active on the blog again!

Re: [RBW] Re: Introduction - Doug Shaker
Paul- Re a new location for the Bike Exchange: As I understand it, we have a reasonable candidate for a new site, but no definitive agreement. I think this really means "No, but it isn't completely hopeless." Our needs are so quirky - not much rent, but all we need is a corner of your parking lot - that it is hard to find anyone willing to even think about it. We'll figure it out, but probably at the last minute. -Doug Shaker On 6/12/2018 12:11 PM, Paul Choi wrote: Have you been able to find a new location for Bike Exchange?
