my new FG frame
Just pulled the trigger on a Paddy Wagon frame from Bikeman:
It's going to replace the Schwinn Le Tour frame I'm scooting around on now. I wanted water bottle mounts, 120mm spacing (for my existing rear wheel), and a roadie geometry. And I like Kona. Pics coming when it's built...

I'm going to move over the shizzy from my Schwinn: Weinmann DP18 wheelset (that Nashbar special from sometime this summer), Surly cog (18t) and Shimano freewheel (20t, though I haven't used it yet), Sugino cranks (48t) and Nashbar BB. I have an old (1998) Specialized Revolution saddle that I'm pretty okay with. Have some Nashbar bullhorns to throw on there too, and I'll grab a brake from somewhere. Nuthin extravagant, but workable.

So you really did forget where you put your bar bike, huh?

I'll probably put the original drivetrain and wheels back on the Schwinn --don't worry I'll still keep a bar bike around
[edit] -- of course I do have this desire to go Bling on the 'Wagon. We'll see just how much overtime I work in the next couple weeks....
