Chrome Ochsner = Love
I was given an offer I could not refuse. What can I say, I have drooled over this bike for a long time. It is now mine. I have truly been blessed by God! I put a set of wheels on it that were ready to go. I will need to order a set of worthy tubulars for the wheels it came with. Took it for a spin and really love it.

congrats on adding another bike to the household! What were the negotiations with your Significant Other like? 
Nice that it came from a friend. I really need to find a friend that rides the same size bikes as me and tends to collect too many nice vintage bikes!

HAHAHA! Awesome thread Steve.... and John-
Its what makes our hobby great.
I recall the first time seeing this bike during a ride with both of you guys. With John's wealth of knowledge and yet the mystery of whom actually made it stirs the fun.
The other storyline is the Ochsner's, Sr. and II. The chrome version bikes are all it- really neato.
congrats Steve! Best of John too

I have never said this before about any bike, but that may be too pretty to ride.
