I can't wait to use that line sometime soon. Ha! Thanks Jonas! If all goes well, I should have the bike ready to roll at the end of thursday on the 19th. I have decided to convert it to a 7 speed which I have a nice cassette especially made for climbing. The head set is good, so I'm staying away from it. I am using a cartrigde bottom bracket, 7 speed rapid fire shifters. Keeping the breaks, and a specially designed back derailer that will fit the frame which does not have a conventional drop out. I hope you both enjoyed the family visit. Talk to you soon. Rickie
Came 4th in the local club TT at the weekend. Round two this Saturday coming, let's see if I can 'podium'... If so I may buy a TT bike rather than riding on the cross bike :)
Sounds like it will be a nice bike rickie! CONGRATS Chris! Yeah, a TT bike could be a good idea, especially if you enjoy them. It is so much more fun on a correct bike. Transition is going ok. I am doing 2 hrs a day therapy, a bit of riding, little projects that i've put off, and now preparing for a trip to CA. Thanks for asking.
Christine, the bike came out pretty good and my friend Heidi really was happily surprised. Very difficult and a little expensive, but I definitely enjoyed reviving something she loved in her younger years. In her words, " I just loved that bike and I use to ride it 25 miles a day in Oregon." So, it was a great experience, and I'm glad I could do something to make someone's day, especially for someone that doesn't have much. I hope you guys are enjoying the US visit. Rickie

Nice! Reminds me of the old 'love is...' cards.
