From: Where even Richard Nixon has got soul

Bikes: Michelle Pfieffer, the Carbon Fiber Wonder Bike: A Kestrel 200 SCI Repainted in glorious mango; Old Paintless, A Litespeed Obed; The Bike With No Name: A Bianchi Eros; RegularBike: A Parkpre Comp Ltd rebuilt as a singlespeed.

Thanks for asking. I really haven't made much progress on it lately. An illness in the family has taken up a lot of my time and energy.

I have obtained a set of inexpensive wheels: Acera rear hub, generic front hub, 14-gauge spokes, 700 x 35 double walled rims. They should be sturdy enough, though the hubs may not be real durable. I put cloth rim tapes in them and hung some old rubber on them for the time being.

I put a set of Dia-Compe 287V levers on the handlebars and cabled them to the brakes. They set up sweetly.

When life normalizes a little, I'll be looking for derailleurs and a cassette next. I have a set of Dura-Ace barend shifters that I'll be using.

Maybe I'll get a picture or two taken soon.
