A belated Happy Birthday to you Kiwimatt, a day late and a dollar short as usual for me. You have some very nice bikes, the SL3 Tarmac sounds interesting. I was a paperboy, also, I imagine several of us were, it allowed me to buy my first good road bike, a '72 Bottecchia with Campy components. I like your last line, it ums up my feelings too. Welcome to 50+, stick around the place, we are a great bunch of old guys and gals.
