Steve Martin would have used the excuse: “ I forgot!”

 

 

Or just plain “well excuuuuuse me!”

I wonder if he ever got the bike back?

Once COVID rolled in, the odds went way down (and the price went up!).

Now this doesn't add up to me.  How could he not know the bike had that much sentimental value to his wife?  After 44 years, that seems to me to be something he'd have known.

 

My wife's old Schwinn is hanging in my garage still waiting on me to figure out a wheel build for years now, but it's still there and I'd never think of getting rid of it.

Good point.  Since they were having a yard sale and he was doing the selling of their old junk what kind of discussion did they have about the sale? Did she know he was going to do it? If so, how much responsibility was hers to tell him -either then or earlier- that she wanted to pass on her bike to their granddaughter?

I did a quick search, no news regarding return or otherwise that I could find.
