My Bike in a Museum
I'm Chef at a museum cafe, and mentioned to the Senior Exhibition Designer and Chief Preparator that i'd like to take a picture of my bike in the Taft Museum, to post on bmxmuseum.
Literally the next time I saw him he said, "Grab your bike, lets take it up to the Mucha print". What a nice guy.
My phone takes pretty garbage pictures, and i wish i had ridden one of the bikes I've never had a chance to post here, but I was pretty happy. 
Edited for accuracy.

Yeah I think Mark (Senior Exhibition Designer and Chief Preparator) was slowly dying inside watching me butcher this opportunity.
Edited to fix Mark's title.

Re: My Bike in a Museum
Thanks guys. And thanks Gary for trying to fix my crappy photos.
I'm going to try this again with a better camera/photographer, and maybe one of my other bikes. Not sure about changing bikes, because I thought the red bike looked great with the Toulouse Lautrec prints.
So here is another crappy blurry photo
And another With the Mucha
What I should have said, was nothing.

Thank you. Sadly I'm not the original owner. I had an '88 for 15 years but it was stolen. I've been slowly rebuilding this for 6 years or so. I just put a mid 90s GT stem that I always ran on it. I think it is done finally.

Thanks man. I love the '88 Redline colors. I just got an OG blue one with blue forklifter bars from lipskidomatic a couple months back.
I've got some Redline 400s and a Hutch stem to put on it then I'll get pics of that up too.

Thanks, I'm working on a new menu right now to pair with an upcoming Hudson River Valley exhibit.
