Great meetup and visit with Mr. Volz, found him to be a gentleman and a scholar. Jersey is awesome, wish I had tucked in the undershirt.

Now you need to build that Super Leggera frame into a bike and sport that while riding it, Van.

That's not going to stop me from building it up but before that I need to build the bigger SC I have that the parts were for but is in rougher shape. I should sell the small one but can't get there for the good shape its in. Going to have to knuckle under and compromise both with lackluster builds, one may be ok with what I have. I managed to collect a few parts before I retired and had hoped the small ones parts would elevate the SC. I haven't done a deep scrub yet as the main thing, the panto levers are pretty bad and rest of the panto parts are very well loved.
Again, you're not wrong and its not lost on me how silly it all is but here we are.
