Reminds me of the way I built my girlfriend's bike, starting with a nice Nishiki Sport I picked up off craigslist, and combining other used but good parts.
Bikes and linux in the same forum! My worlds are beginning to merge.
This is like that scene in the movie PCU where the guy watching TV for days in his pajamas finally sees two particular actors together in the same movie and thus proves his thesis (or at least fails to find support for the null hypothesis).
