Soooooooo, what's your point - it's still a really cool bike - and perfect for the kind of riding we do around here. I could really enjoy that bike - you did a very nice job on it - and that is exactly what hobbies are for. (Who says a hobby can't be healthy, useful, and fun?)
Time to start watching for a set of 32mm Schwalbe Marathon Supremes, a lightweight rack for errands, and some easily removable panniers for stuffing groceries into.... LOLl
