My C&V highlights?

- Sold half a dozen FDs and RDs as well as 2 frames. Really happy since I was not going to use those. Weight off the chest to get them out.
- Garbage picked a mid-90s Trek 920 rigid MTB frame while walking the dogs. Its OXII True Temper tubing and I am in the middle of tearing it down and building with modern 1x9 for one of my kids. Itll be a perfect fit for the tame river bottom singletrack in our metro.
- Removed paint from a mid-90s Cannondale CAAD3 and painted it with a 3 color splatter over black base. Had to get a fork, so its a 1" carbon fork. Modern Ultegra shifting is on it now. Really fun project, though I let it drag on way too long.

Biggest highlight?- Just riding my old frames and chatting with various people I come across who have an interest in C&V still. This past RAGBRAI was a blast as there were a lot of people riding really nice older frames who had a ton to say.
