Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Happy Birthday to 55/Rad

Ditto from me man. And here's an extra wish that you might actually get some "good news" for your birthday on a certain project. If that's not in the cards, well, you have plenty other projects to keep you (and us) occupied!

Happy Birthday Rad. Your contributions to the forum have helped me out quite a bit, as well as entertained me. If I may be so presumptuous I consider you a friend of mine (as well as of many) here in BF. Have a great day today, and many more.



Cheers,

Brian

I saw the frame yesterday - it's here in Portland and only a couple miles from my office - and lo' and behold, progress had been made. Can't detail it other than to say it moved forward. Let's all hope it continues....

It's a tantric paint job.

Happy Birthday - hope the weather is cooler than it is in DC and you got a long ride in.
