Well, I spent the day installing a Tubus rack on my 84 Trek 720 tourer and fixing up the little Celeste Bianchi I found for my GF/SO. And sleeping, and riding to yard sales.

I think the above points about showing damaged frames is one of the keys about this guide, and have decided to start with frame assesment.

I'm going to look into some prints over the next few weeks. My summer schedule is insane, so I dunno how fast I can get to it. I may try cafe press for some Ts and coffee cups (I have a number of tool drawings that would do well, I think).

I think I need to buy a scanner.

Stronglight, the closest books to what I'm trying to do would be Tom Cuthbertson's (speeling?) Anybody's Bike Book and obviously, Zinn, which has some really nice drawings. I've had the road one for awhile and recently picked up the MTB book at a thrift for a dollar. Both are worth having.

Given the current state of the publishing, newspaper/magazine and comic book industries (I've worked in two of them), I've been leaning towards the web. I think I'd like the info to be free, with perhaps the option of buying a book or shirt.
