BTW, that is a very nice bike.
Hello there, 53-11. Haven't heard from you in a while.
Some tidbits on the bike. That photo was taken on a trip to Utah just after the emergency rebuild, necessitated by the bike coming off the roof rack at 75 mph. New fork, stem, bars, levers, saddle. Over $1000 in parts, on a bike that originally cost under $1400. Performance Bike with Saturday delivery saved the trip.
Here's a tip for those who travel with their bikes: bring along a spare derailleur hanger. They're small and inexpensive, but good luck finding one that fits your bike on a trip.
