As said above I think it's an interesting C&V story.

Excellent story.

A true C&V enthusiast who builds their own classic to ride in a TdF type event is someone to be celebrated here.

Bravo.

Wow. Made his own lugs and components even. I feel like a slacker.

What makes this guy's projects so interesting is that he trains and rides his creations at a competitive level, breaks records even.

I am wondering if his competitors have been on same type bikes or were period-contemporary?
