Back from being not banned but still without permission to access the 41. Exactly what happens during a ban. What was I to think?
Also back from the cardiologist. My heart has been proclaimed healthy as a horse. No angina even. I've been instructed to act my age and all will be well. But all is not perfect. I have UTI.

I've been visiting/calling LBSs and I'm finding that no one carries bladed, straight-pull spokes in stock, not even one LBS that's owned by a wheel builder. Meanwhile, I've looked more closely at the nipple still hanging from the rim... yeah, turns out that I didn't break the spoke - I broke a nipple and, in my frustration last night, I tossed the perfectly good, hard-to-find spoke somewhere along the road.

Look at www.workswellbikes.com. For under $500 you can get a very fine carbon frame.
Sad!By by the way, I remember seeing comments Ribble R872 frame was similar to one of workswell frames but I can’t remember which.

My brother had a few Novas from that era. Drove one of them across country (twice) in the 90s. His had the 250ci straight six with the Powerglide transmission. Bullet proof.

Nobody on staff knows what you’re talking about, THIS is part of the 41 and you’re here, aren’t you? If you thought you were banned why didn’t you reach out to the staff and inquire why? And let’s not pretend you don’t know what happens during a ban, you’ve been banned before (which you also made sure the entire forum was aware of) so you should have clearly known you were not banned this time.
Shall we continue this conversation in public or shall we take it to the private messages? Your choice.
