Future plans
Found a 28 year old poster/photo at a local thrift shop and I was already thinking of building up some L’eroica type bike, so now I’m on the casual watch for a Gios or other vintage bike.

I'd love to do a ride over Door County. 15 miles and stop at a town or restaurant or bar... go to be next one... it would be a blast.
It's not so appealing to my wife- so when we go to Door County, it's a lot like looking out the window imagining how fun it would be...

Jump in the C&V pool.
Friction shifting for all.
