Hello, I have been delayed from tour and just recieved messages.How was Vancouver? Old steel bikes are really nice. I have had some fun on new lightweights and still do but I really enjoy older lugged steel frames. The classics last alot longer and need alot less repairs for being such bargains. What Mtn. biking area in the NW do you ride? Let me know so I can explore new trails.Talk to you later.S.
