Christmas Cyclo-Present

My staff take care of me in so many ways: doing good and faithful work every day, having my back, keeping things in good shape, generally holding down the fort. But this Christmas they outdid themselves. A scale model, fully functional Black Phantom cruiser bike for my office!

This piece is a nice addition to my office, which is, as you would expect, mildly "cyclo" themed. Some day I will do a post on the cool trinkets I have in my office, such as a couple Talia Lempert prints, a few other working bike models, things from races I've picked up over the years, etc. So this one from my staff fits the theme perfectly!

From the box:"My new Phantom sure is a beauty--all the
fellows say it's the swellest-looking bike in town."
