Also I could not find it yet but when I was 9 I had a work bench with real hand tools
I got my butt beat for cutting the leg off of one of the dining room chairs with my trusty hand saw. It came with everything you need to build your own bird house.
got it

Anyone remember the Tiger Emenee electric guitars from the 1960s? I wanted one of these so bad when I was 8 years old!

That there is a young joe nerve on the skins, while his older brother bill shreds on the eminee guitar, which later became joe nerve's because brother bill was bigger and always got his way. He got the drums. I wound up with guitar. I didn't really mind. I was better back then on guitar than drums.
Anybody remember Major Matt Mason:
I had a bunch of this stuff, including this set (#7):
:
Sold it all on eBay a few years back, big bucks!

I had a PILE of that space shh- after the wires inside the guy all broke you basically had a paralyzed astronaut.
First the Vac-U-Form, now this...bits of my kid-hood I haven't thought about in YEARS! I had two or three of Matt Mason 'action figures' (...dolls were for girls...) and the biggest thing I remember about Mason is the jet-pack thing he came with - it had a string mechanism with what I think was a cam system inside the pack itself and you hooked one end of the line around something and pulled the other end about six inches or so and the Major climbed about a foot and a half. Or something.
That would be a Troxel Moon Bar.
My dad would never get me a Stingray-style bike; he put me on a sensible, Robin Hood 3-speed. Which led to an Atala 10-speed, then to my own decades riding, racing, crashing, and working with bikes. I'm new around here, Mr. Mudd; might I ask where you're placed in the field?
My brother got the Tiger guitar for Christmas and learned his first chords on it. I had a set of toy drums made by Noble & Cooley.
How about foods free of hormones, pesticides and other unnatural chemicals? More sense of community in larger cities? A lot more privacy and patience? Celebs that still look like people?
That sounds familiar, somehow.
I'm not sure what you're asking, here...
What color is the sun in your little world?
...sorry, could not help it...and I wish yours were closer to the truth.
What are you talking about? If having lived in three different countries by age 30 makes my world "little", how small is the world of someone who has barely ventured out of their hometown? And believe me, I've met people like that. My perception of the world is way bigger than you think.
Truth? As in "absolute truth"? No such thing.
Troxel made saddles since at least the 1920s. I recall they also did helmets, at least through the late '90s.
Just curious what you do in the bicycle industry; I spent some time there, and I miss it on occasion. [EDIT: I just re-read my original wording; an unintentional cycling double-entendre.
