missed your post Smurfy! Heya!
Yeah, I tend to spend alot of time at the shop (I'm Jeremiah by the way, in case we may have met IRL

). Gary's thinking about doing an MB-1 clone for his mountainbike I hear. Your right though, he did pattern the Saint Clair after the X0-1.
Me? I like the 851 fillet-brazed Van Cleve. I about wet myself when I first saw one. Smoooooth brazing. Looks like it was cut from a single block of onyx
