As we walked through the front door, I spotted a pair of women checking out this gorgeous blue vintage three-speed. I made a quick bee-line to the bike and saw it was... wait for it, an Armstrong! I am not sure I've openly revealed this before on the blog, but yes, that IS my surname. I started gushing over this lovely bike and the woman who was deciding whether or not to buy it, thought I was some sort of store 'plant' sent in to close the deal with my flowing compliments on this cool ride.
She decided to put a deposit on the bike and headed out of the shop. I immediately started asking questions about it and learned that not only is it an Armstrong, but one from the year of my birth, 1969. Now come on. Is it too much to hope that she decides not to buy it?

Fate! Sounds like someone needs to start trolling eBay :)
@Doohickie-- Thanks. We shall see. We shall see...
@mitch-- Why, thank you. If she backs out, you know how to reach me!
@Dottie: Yes, I was already on Ebay last night :)
Looks like a bike my mom used to have, love the two tone bike seat.
Oh, I hope she backs out, that really would be perfect.
I find myself breaking in and giving my 2 cents at stores all the time..
Last week at the bike shop for example the service guy told a guy with a CL bike that he would be happy to do the $150 of repairs it needed, but he thought that he should really find a bike that fit him first and then repair that one. I broke in and told the guy that when he did, he should definitely come to this shop, because unfortunately not all bike shops are honest enough to tell you that kind of thing!
Good luck finding a lovely lady like that of your own
