Hey guys,

Thank you again John for being such an outstanding host and the follow-up video. Outstanding bikes with awesome people. I don't think it gets much better than that.

Great video. Sorry I missed the party. I’ll be looking forward to the spring gathering.
it looked like a ‘93 SBX frame on that track bike. They didn’t really have a model name

I'd love to join your proposed ride, jjhabbs ; but in such company I might be ashamed of my mixed-up, plebeian bike (not to mention my C+V ignorance), and far more decisively I only join rides that start 50 km or so from home whereas yours would start 10,000 km away. Oh well.
Still, I have a little suggestion. How about a ride report some time for your spiffy, 96-spoked Jack Taylor?
Ideally this should be a world tour. (As it happens, I'm now reading and enjoying Fred A Birchmore's Around the World on a Bicycle -- a heavier bike than your Jack Taylor, and with greatly inferior braking -- so such rides are on my mind.) But it's not a good time for one -- and I'd happily settle for a report on a 50 km jaunt. Any time!

It doesnt matter what your riding. Everyone is welcome. Im actually thinking of doing a three day tour with the Jack Taylor and doing a video or two on it. I cant wait to get that bike right and running!
God Bless
John
