(i just got the top tube replaced at my local frame builder and it only cost $150... well worth it for the frame)
That would be great, but I don't know if they'll have to send the old one in as exchange for the new. I'll find out. I totally agree; the brake handles, shifters, everything on that bike is sweet as pie. I'd love to see it preserved in some way. I also want that Blackburn rack!
