That would be a waste of an important medical resource.

I'm running 2014-15 Record on my Motta and have a1978-9 Record group in a box along with some new hubs of that vintage. I also have a set of G3 wheels that I need to dispose of at some point. I need to check to see if they'll take an 11 speed cassette first. If they will, I'll keep them. I also have several sets of Campy cranks, both alloy and carbon.

Seeing other places is always a good idea. Even better when you can manage to leave the country in the process.
But doesn't USC have a campus? That's the point. At NYU, you are "in" the city no matter what. And sure, that area of the city is fine, but there is still more than enough trouble for an 18 year old to find. And I'm not talking about getting mugged or some random, violent crime.
I've seen that site a few times, and it looks totally fine to me. I'd certainly buy from them. Italian e-commerce has come a long way over the past five or so years.
There were still fabric covered planes being used in WW2, perhaps the most romantic period in aviation (despite the whole war and death aspect). It's not exactly ancient...

You could buy yourself a brand new tube and fabric, open cockpit Waco YMF-5 or Great Lakes, if you wanted.

I got a call from my oncologist this morning. My appointments from now on will be tele-medicine calls. Kind of weird because I will still have to go in for labs and injections. Maybe I'll have to do my own blood draws and give myself my own injections in the parking lot.

I ate my lunch really quickly and then went on a 1 lap rip on my MTB at the local park.
Best lunch break I've had in a while

I was riding in the desert with friends on my Maico 490 when the mainshaft in the transmission seized up and pushed the clutch out through the side cover. Came to an abrupt halt. We were close to a dirt road so they were able to get the truck and pick me up. We had to take the chain off to roll it onto the truck.
I read later that there was an internal power struggle in the Maico factory and one of the family members had sabotaged the transmission heat-treating process.

The article that Bah Humbug linked in the bar flipping thread got me to wondering.
How much weight do you alll have on your hands?
I know that there isn't a great way to quantify that and it will end up being super subjective, but would you describe your ideal road fit as having a lot of weight, a moderate amount, or as little as possible weight on your bars?
Definitely for the rando bike I want as little weight as possible on my hands, but I can tolerate it a bit more on the roadie if I'm only going to be out for an hour or two.

Lol. while on my honeymoon of my last marriage in Florida I flew a 1928 Steerman for 30 minutes. Front seat, was still the most fun I've had with my clothes on.
