The Captain creeped me out back in the day... Mr green jeans seemed more of an upstanding character. Pee Wee Herman same thing.

Legend has it that Schwinn employed Mario Gusipie Costantini for three days in 1969 while he was in the witness protection plan after eloping with 12 year old Patty Von Helsing  in a heinous crime known as the "Snatch Heist".

 In those three days Mario worked at Schwinn, he was assigned to a top secret project known only as "Purple Paradox."

 Few people were entrusted with the secret of Purple Paradox, but my cousin's nephews's barber's dentist's undertaker was one of the three people given their pre-demo, pre-built Grape Krate.

He later gave it to his son's florist's pool boy Michael Felts!

Now this gets really weird, according to some, one evening in the Fall of 1969 Mike  was peddling recklessly and ran into a telephone pole on Sunset Boulevard.

 After inspecting the damage, Mike  wandered off on foot to a favorite bar for the rest of the night.

When Mike  returned, the bike was gone.

Person of interest to this day is renown bicycle connoisseur and concurs judge  P. W. Herman
