Thanks 3speedslow, I sure did. To me it feels like a bike of a different era! The "click, click, click" of the hub is a wonderful sound. I've used it as my town bike and it always draws attention. You can see since the last post is has some new Kenda gumwalls which improved traction and ride.

Next week it will be getting a new Brooks B67 in "Honey" for it. Cost more than I paid for the bike, but I think I'm going to love it. Maybe that will be an excuse to post another picture. This year, the Robin Hood has been the only bike that I ride without my Garmin. I quess I just don't want to sully the experience of piloting this great old 3 speed with mundane stuff like speed and distance!
