Thank you, C&V crew

I just wanted to thank you guys for many things...

1) Thanks for being here to let me know it was OK to prefer the old school bikes and thanks for all the bike porn.

2) Thanks for answering even the stupidest of my questions.

3) Thanks for motivating me to take overhaul classes. I had never, in my wildest dreams, thought that something like replacing bearings on a BB that could barely move would bring me such joy.

4) Thanks for sharing all the mistakes you guys have made so I don't have to make them. Especially thanks for the warnings on not forcing things and that I should really not use a hammer. Because I've wanted to.

As my first project bike draws to a close, I am totally amazed at how "new" it feels, and well everything works. It makes me want to breathe life into every old, forlorn, abandoned bike I see. It has been really fun, and REALLY EXPENSIVE.

Susan
