Rich, Great to hear from you.I hope you're getting saddle time in.I have been riding a lot this year since I recovered. That bike is the one that I rode in 2016 at Eroica. The same bike that I rode with you and Matt on our pre Eroica ride. Thanks for the compliment on my Kabuki , it is more of a sentimental attachment to this bike than anything else. I went from a Schwinn Varsity to the Diamond Formula and I never looked back! I got it from a guy who had a bike shop in Oxnard that raced and built bikes in the seventies named Stan Johnson. We became pretty good friends and his frames are beautiful , if you ever happen on to one. Take care and hope to meet someday , Halfway? Joe
