Ghost bike for Jepson Livingston

I've received word from Jepson's mother that his ghost bike (Diversey and Avers) has been removed.

Who's interested in working on a replacement?

Edit-- further communication-- Saturday Oct 8th would have been his b-day so it would be important to his mother to have one up by then if possible. My own availability until after that weekend is very limited.

The previous ghost bike was a cruiser. I think Alex is going to root around in his inventory for a like kind replacement. The heavy chain helps. I'll pick up a heavy duty padlock, and we should be good to go. Duppie's coming as well. Sixish?

I will be able to drop off paint & chain around 3:00ish. I can then go get the 2 road bikes or can get a cruiser.So anytime after 5pm is good by me.

I've let Jepson's mother know.

That was really a beautiful thing to do. Thanks to all.
