I did a bad bad thing last night. I bought a bicycle from a homeless person. I'm fairly certain it was stolen, but I wanted it real bad. I have a few bicycles, but I don't have one like this one. I scored a Miyata. It's an old Mountain bike made by the original Miyata manufacturer. The company began making bicycles after the Japanese were prohibited from making guns. The bike has a triple butted steel frame. I'm going to rebuild it, frame up. I took it for a ride today, and it is quite possibly the most responsive steel bike I have ever ridden, even with bad tires. This bike is more fun to ride than my road bike. I'm so happy, and yet so guilty.
Well, while you're riding it remember (if it is stolen) there is a sad person out there missing their great bike.
