Wow! What a beautiful looking bike. Where ever did you find such a wonderful photo?

No, very unfortunately, I haven't been able to yet. I absolutely love that bike. I've been on some long day rides with about 10 lbs. of stuff. It was this bike that turned me from being a vintage road bike nut into wanting to build the best modern touring bike I could afford. When I was a youngin', I road my 10 spd Schwinn Continental all over the backroads of Southern Indiana. Then we moved and I never road again until about 5 years ago when I rediscovered the thrill and freedom of riding again. I've lost 60 lbs. and my favorite past-time is torquing on bikes. Now, times are tough, and as an independent contractor, I don't get vacations so my dream of riding Hwy 1 down the West Coast is not going to happen any time soon. I still feel a need to build a modern touring bike. For some reason I couldn't get inspired by the Saga. But, I do have an image in mind of what this bike could be.
