The Lemond is doing well. I'm out the door first thing tomorrow morning to see how many laps I can put in at Leslie spit before bad things happen in my legs. Then in the afternoon I have finish a wheel build and start hauling Pake parts to the shop for "The Build." I figured out how I'm going to do the headbadge: drill out a wooden block w/ a hole the same diameter as the head tube. Saw that block in half, fit the coin in (coin face against the wood) w/ a reasonable facsimile of a head tube on the other side (ie. scrap steel pipe). Press that setup w/ a vice and the coin should be bent to the shape of the head tube while retaining the detail on the face.

Awhile back I got a nice deal on some Formula hubs (fixed/fixed). Dude that sent them to me did a crappy job with the packing and the threads (left and right-hand threaded) on one side were partially crushed. Not a pretty sight. Soo ... to Malcolm I took this beat up hub. Turns out he's going to chase the threads back into shape by hand. My small infantile brain thought that was rather impressive and thus, I spread the word.

I've got before pics ... I'll post the afters once I pick up the hub from him tomorrow.
