I believe that I have "earned" this bike in that labor alone.

Amazing photos of the Gilliot packing. Whew. It, too, appears to have survived in spite of the wild mis-packing.

I will get better photos up when I can. The bike is in excellent condition, although none of the Ritchey decals are. Odd. But, I don't care.

It IS the bike I've been waiting for. And I would love to stand it side by side with Fender1's Ritchey. They are both fine examples of the art.

Yea! ! !
