I've been buried by household projects and only now have I seen this thread. I am sad to hear Mr. Neenan is gone, as I never successfully found a way to contact him to tell him how amazing Lighthouse no. 1 631 has been for me. I guess the best way to honor him is to show his work in its proper environment, so here is Ruby on a fire road jaunt returning from Promised Land, SC -


Nimble and delightful no matter how bad the road.


Fortunately, there is no prohibition of riding lovely fillet-brazed 531!

This bike is a keeper, forever. I know I have said that of other bikes, but this is an amazingly frisky bike that works with 32mm tires and fenders, and manages to look elegant and refined at all times - like if Shakers had built bikes. Godspeed, Tim Neenan!
