zac's ugly, run down, anceint bike finally died 8) he bought the bike for the HUGE expense of $300 in '92 and he's done 2 or 3 great vic bike rides on it and used it for travelling to and from work and to everywhere else. i kept telling him for the past year or so just to get a new one but he was very attached to its weird looking handlebars and the stickers he put on the frame. he replaced a lot of parts on it in the last year (seat, cogs, pedals, about 100 tubes, tires.....) he just replaced the tire 2 days ago after the old one wore right through to the tube and caused a hole in the tube. now its something to do with the chain and all the gears and it was gonna cost more to replace than it was really worth so its dead 8) zac isn't as happy as i am about that thing being put to rest (when i got the sms from him telling me it died, he said it was like losing a pet). we went bike shopping later in the afternoon and he picked out a nice new shiny bike that i really like (i had to take it for a test run too). he said its just not his bike though.
