I have a good wife - some years ago I was shopping for a Garden Gate ES 2 - hard to find here in the USA . I subscribed to the British newspaper Old Bike Mart - hard copy via overseas mail as this was pre internet days for me . Finally found one and negotiated a deal with the dealer but difficulty with transferring the money and red flags in some of the communications put the deal off.

I took down the picture of the subject bike from the fridge and tossed it , then sulked about a bit with “ not buying it” remorse.

The next day the picture was back up , rescued from the trash by my wife , wrinkles even smoothed out .

 Found another better one a while later from a very honest dealer who took credit cards , thus easing the money transfer issue .

Somtimes things work out for the better.
