You guys just might sway me to leave it alone except a good cleaning and service--for awhile, anyway. I do have a few projects to finish while I enjoy the Girardengo.

Here's a Whizzer pseudo-antique I'm finishing up right now...wiring and cables and a seat, and I'll be putting around Marin...

Now that looks like great fun as well as really impressive.
