Here is THE story of my weekend in Paris. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2578/3672531890_3f5be719a9_b.jpg
Last week I took the Eurostar to Paris to see family, friends, music gigs and ride with the local fixie guys on thursday night. After arriving at Gare du Nord train station I went outside to put my bike together. As I was doing it a guy came behind me and told me my Eddy Merckx hat looked good. Then he said Mr Merckx would actualy be around in the next minutes. I didn't believed him and told to get away but he insisted, mentioning he was about to drive Eddy in his taxi that he pointed as well. I said ok but couldn't manage to really believe him. He then went away.
And one minute later Eddy appeared! He got in the taxi and the driver pointed me and my hat.
Too bad. My bike, my bag and all my stuffs were on the floor and I couldn't leave them alone in that kind of place.
But Merckx wouldn't close his door and waited for me to come!
I thought something like 'just do it' or 'yes I can'.
A few seconds later my hat had that nice blue addition and Eddy got the greace of my dirty bike on his hands.
I also got it signed by the national champion who was with Mr Merckx in the car.
[And I also got my face signed by metronomy yesterday night as I was drunk backstage in a music festival in paris. (ok, that has nothing to do with the story but the autograph so I thought it was fun to mention).]
How is that?
I am thinking of selling frame+hat as a combo, what do you guys think?
What size is the frame?
