Went to the tip here in Brisso last weekend. Backed up the ute and started unloading when I saw a couple of bikes leaning up against the steel recycling bin over yonder. Thought I’d duck over for a quick look as the tip mazi was hovering near the bikes and throwing other bits of steel in the bin. And then I saw it…
58ish cm ((my size !!) 80’s era Eric Hendren roadie with Campy/Dura Ace group…and big ape hangers. That’s about as much as I could take in before old mate came through and picked up the one next to it and chucked it in the bin.
Think brain think, I have to save this bike !!!
Me: “Hey mate, what are the chances of me grabbing this old bike ?”
Him: “Nah mate there’s cameras all around here. Can’t do it.”
Agggghhhhhhhhhhh!!
Me getting desperate: “But mate it’s a pretty flash old bike. Collectable ya know ? I wanna fix it up.”
Him: “Nah mate. I couldn’t even keep it for myself. It all goes in the bin.”
And with that he picked it up and chucked it into the big bin with all the old washing machines and fridges.
:x :x
It’s a cruel world…
