Just finished finalizing arrangements for a vintage english frame & fork to get shipped to me, packing and shipping will cost 3x what the frameset did (so that part wasn't too expensive).

Pics etc to be posted when it arrives, until then this is just a teaser...

Bikes: enough one would think, but thinking isn't my strong point

Since I've gotten into 40/50s British bikes I also find myself spending more on the components than I do on the frames. I constantly question my sanity.
