The Bilenky I bought last spring fills a fairly similar niche to the MAP, so I will just take my good sweet time this winter.
Hopefully I will collaborate on the build with forum member Thirdgenbird. He's the best around and great to bounce ideas off of.
I will toss some up on my Flickr though this week.
For you to have all these hand-built bikes in a queue patiently waiting to get built up is more jealousy-invoking than you can believe :-).
But I kind of know how it goes-- everyone is giving me flack for having the Jeff Lyon hanging on a hook since June waiting to get built up. But what can I say... I already have the Stag filling that niche so there's no urgency. In fact, I don't know what's more exciting-- building up the Lyon as a classic randonneusse or re-building up the Stag with new Lyon fork, the upcoming 45mm Bruce Gordon Rocky Road 650B tires, and new Sram 10-spd road group.
