Thanks all for the complements. It really was a fun experience.

I have enough other bikes to ride on the big hills that I'll leave this one as is. The donor bike and next project bike (almost finished) is a SS - also not a bike for hills. Another interesting experience, but that post is for another part of the forum.

Hey Bill ... unless you've been holding out on us, I thought you're riding a Caad10 and it's not that old (yet)? How is it that you've found your way into C&V?
Or does "Vintage" refer to us in the 50+ crowd?
