BICYCLE! BICYCLE!

I couldn't get this song out of my head while I was building my bike or when I was riding home. Not even when I finally got my fresh new "whip" into the elevator and into my apartment.

When I made my appointment to start a project bike at the Bike Kitchen. Someone was just donating (my) new bike. Not new, as in, "new" to me but "fresh out the damn box" new. A new, vintage, 1970 something Webco road bike. My baby is clean and apple green. An olden gem unearthed to become apart of my ever progressive life. That gives me a good idea for a name; "Emerald!" Is that a females name? Well it is now! All my people from the 206 know what that means. Hopefully....

Well introducing the newest member of my family, Emerald or "EC!" Actually, haven't figured out a name yet. Maybe "Gem!" Fuck it. It'll come to me.

I've been trying to find out some info on this bike and I can't find shit anywhere. All I know for sure is that there is a company (or was a company) named Webco that built bikes. Ain't that a fucking shame.
