getting sean harrington's bike s01e01

i walked 15 mph so i was sure to meet the seller at 4:30. i was 2 minutes early. and my watch is synchronized with the clock in judge melzer's courtroom. cool guy. bought his house when he was 21 -- so before the dawn of time. a friend told him about police auctions so he bought 70 bikes for $2000 and has already made money re-selling them. but he just did it for the experience. in my naivitee i was hoping for a floor pump. a man with all the massive rvs show in google street view has a floor pump. i brought a frame pump just in case. but of course the dude came out with a compressor.

i am going to have to modify one of my 2026 new years resolutions. this was my 3rd time in san dimas. 1) 1989 at mt sac. which i barely remember but i am sure i did not do that well in my race. 2) last summer biking from dexter alley to pomona for the 1st time, anticipating the a-line extension. which i was on the 1st time today. i know exactly that street crossing 2 blocks before the dude's house. but nothing south. fuckin' san-dimas is chill. the part that's centered around the train station. it is just like sierra madre, with cool old buildings and stuff. a main street. there was a cop in the train-station parking lot. who i guess i will get to meet later on. san dimas looks like a nice place to take the train out to and explore -- in the context of bars.

and it's not 2026 yet is it.

i coasted 2.0 miles downhill from the dude's very cool neighborhood down to the station. the bike is 1 size too big but i barely noiced -- i could stand over the top-tube -- i could notice for sure. it is just sean's size. the funny saddle is very good -- big giant but not a piece of shit -- it will only need mountain bike gears on the back if sean ever COMES back...
