capnjonny: I would never in a million years have recognized the potential in that bike or thought of doing what have done (especially since that's not the kind of bike that floats my boat) If I had, never in a million years would I have the skills to do it.

Having said that, what a fantastic refurb you did! To my eye, it looks perfect. Just perfect.

Now all you have to do is get it to Montana in September for Cino.
