The bike practically put itself back together in a Christine-like resurrection, drawing what it needed from my everlasting parts stash. Two hours later I was riding around.
It's great to have a parts stash like that. One day I hope to have one as extensive. So far I'm on my way with a spare, well, just about everything but a couple seatposts. Honestly I'd rather locate a frame in my size, or be lucky enough for a fellow BF'er to stumble across one that is willing to send it my way. (58cm lugged roadie for a finder's fee anyone?
