BobbyDazzler Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Certainly do! I remember that distinctive smell and old Howard in his mucky blue overalls. Used to get me bike wheels "trued up" as he used to call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregconn Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Great man, great shop, kept my tatty old bike going no matter what it needed, this was in the late 50's early 60's, i also could afford the repair cost from my pocket money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
