No, I broke the 'only buy bikes that fit' rule just because I have a fondness for these and the price was reasonable. I used to spend a lot of time in Mike Barry's shops and saw a number of B's and SC's and was always impressed. I'll take my time with this one, keep it original and hang it. We'll see what happens down the road.

I need to find a good scale. The bike feels quite light for a large frame.
