[Miles_ONeal]

What do you call at TT with two birthdays on top? Don't know, but lighting one up for both of you.

Agree - I had a Pinarello ARCO (rainbow) like the one Alexi Grewal won the '84 Summer Olympics RR in LA.

not mine - but one like it -

Canadian Steve Bauer made the mistake leading-out Alexi in the closing kilometers and couldn't counter his well-timed sprint.

What a heartbreaker for Bauer!

Did you send this "candle" to George and Miles? That's not them is it? Miles does have a beard and glasses.

Oh....lighting up that kind of wax candle.

Yeah. That wasn’t the light up I was expecting!

Beard’s been gone for a few months now. Haven’t had wire rims in a few years, though seriously considering going back to them.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Thanks!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I hope I have thanked all the happy birthdayers. If not, my humble apologies; I certainly meant to. This is such a great community. Love you all. May your flocks increase, thrive, and give more joy every day.

Fun little song…

 

[GBassNorth]

I'm guessing you won't be sending the '67 NR to any of us. Sure would make a nice present. Shipping would likely be cheaper to me, if that's an issue....

LOL - Donnie, always there to take one for the team!

 

[Nocturnal]

Trying to get myself into the holiday spirit. A pic from last year for Tbird Tuesday since I didn't string the lights this year.

 

[dagrev]

So yours was before today? Yesterday?

Last Thursday.

 

[dagrev]

Yeah. That wasn’t the light up I was expecting!

Sure enough. Feel naked?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Last Thursday.

On my calendar now!

I try to be a team player. You can borrow it anytime you visit your daughter in Nash.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Sure enough. Feel naked?

No, but that's because I haven't shucked my clothes yet. I did feel that way when I first shaved it.

 

[JIO]

What a heartbreaker for Bauer!

That's bike racing!

 

[evilfirbolg]

Welp here y'all go, finished up my Funderbird project today. And after some fits and starts I think have setup nailed down pretty good. It plays quite well and sounds good too! That's it next to my Iceman I built earlier.

 

[JIO]

What is special about this? It's it an early 60's? The pickup looks like it.


From the list.

A couple things - it's the 1st of that type of bass made by a guitar world legendary builder for a famous musician who modified it to suite his needs and played it - a lot. Right now, it's someone's investment - as in “collectors item" and that collector assumes it will continue to be worth more as time goes by. Rarified air territory - nobody I know.
