Bikes: Merz x 5 + Specialized Merz Allez x 2, Strawberry/Newlands/DiNucci/Ti x3, Gordon, Fuso/Moulton x2, Bornstein, Paisley,1958-74 Paramounts x3, 3rensho, 74 Moto TC, 73-78 Raleigh Pro's x5, Marinoni x2, 1960 Cinelli SC, 1980 Bianchi SC, PX-10 X 2

So the Ritchey won best original a the Albany show again and the very light green Merz full on touring won best restored.

the Ritchey got a fork "upgrade" over the winter as I finally got fed up with the fugly Tange unibrow and realized i could swap in the very tall Stumpy with some threading and fabbing up a way longer stub stem.

The fork cleaned up well compared to the nasty Stumpy frame that is slated for more eval and hopefully at least cleanup.

So got the fork threads extended and made a longer stub, got a longer bolt and it all went together ok, rides fine and looks good IMO.





Not a flattering angle.

There is another upgrade hopefully coming soon.
