Thanks, Stan. Coming from you, that's quite a compliment. Ron Coopers have been on my short list of Most Lustworthy Frames for a long, long time. It was pure serendipity that I even saw this one listed, much less that I actually got it for a price I could pay. As for the fork, yeah, it's a thing of beauty. It isn't what made the deal for me, but it sure as shootin' didn't hurt.

Probably cannabalize the strange assortment of stuff I have currently hanging on a Y2K Lemond Zurich. It's not like I have a big budget to work with, and I'm not interested in having a museum piece - this baby is going to be ridden. I may try to work out a trade or two with bigbossman for an item or two, though . . . .
