How bad do you have it?

Enablers, one and all!
You are welcome. In recent weeks 2 paramounts were acquired by forum members as a result of "looking for" craigslist post I posted, I am doing my part.

P.S Many years ago I bike in Nova Scotia when the Coast Guard ship I was stopped for Port visits. Halifax and Pictou

Among a long list of other glaring indicators pointing at obsession, this morning I’ve purchased round trip bus tickets. I’m paying $37 to take a 220 mile round trip in order to buy a $25 frameset.
