Learning to fly...

Finkelstein busted in a post about how he got where he is today, complete with some "back in the day" pics of his former self.

Well, I have a simalar story.

I too, had the long hair.

Robert (Age 14) Warren, MI.
Summer of 1975.
Riding my Dynamax - "Tour de France" 10 speed.





























Funny... At dinner at mom and dad's tonight, dad produced the original receipt for the Dynamax.. Check out the old school phone numbers for the bike shop.. What was up with that???

Are you gonna tell the story or are you just going to tease us with photos?

I do still have that bike... Put a flat bar on it and made into a single-speed a couple years ago... Did a couple group rides on it... Pretty funny... That bike is 37 years old...

Glad you bought a bike at that shop and not a "power lawn mower"... who knows how far you'd have ridden that thing?
