Well, modest in numbers, but each very, very special.

I'll bet you have the same problem I do. (I have only those in my sig list, and the Hilton Wrigley has yet to reach me from the U.K.) The problem is that each of my bikes is such that I cannot use them to commute or even shop, if I'll be out of sight too long. Each is so unique – and special to me/us – that the attractiveness to thieves limits their actual utility. I had my 1981 Tom Ritchey stolen, and I don't even fathom loosing another.

Sigh.

Anyway, repeated congrats on yet other truly fine bike.

Cheers,

Owen
