A couple of months ago I was in the local co-op with a mechanic from one of the local bike shops. I found an early eighties Nishiki frame and proceeded to hand him parts from the boxes in the co-op to finish a complete age restored bike in about two hours. He kept asking me how I knew all of those parts were going to fit together, but at the end of the night he figured out I had hung most of those part on those frames before. It was kinda nice to be able to make a good bike in a few hours that worked well (because all of the parts were designed to work together). Sometimes getting the parts right will make the bike work the way it was designed to. Smiles, MH
