I have it on my schedule! Sounds fun. Not sure what I will ride. Maybe my Terot...if I go French.

Both very cool bikes. The paramount looks smaller? What are the derailleurs on the Terrot?

Thanks! Yes, 1978 TX700. It's been a great all rounder and even sports a baby seat from time to time.

On a wet cold day I'd thought I'd finally get back to you on your kind invite

I'll definitely consider it, it's hard for me to plan more then a few weeks out but I'd totally dig the chance to meet up with some other fellow BF members! I'd probably be taking the LeMond, which just this second I realized has a tiny French connection

Oh and @bikemig I've been meaning to comment about how your Avatar picture seems awfully familiar

Heck we could be long lost twins. Not only do we ride the same bike path, I use that Jandd bag a lot and it's on the MB 1 in my avatar pic as well,

A week and some change to go before the Wabash ride and I finally finished my early 70s Motobecane Grand Record. The bike came out great and I enjoyed riding it today on July 4. @GrainBrain won't recognize where any of these pics were taken,

Ha, I was out there this afternoon with my oldest!
I sadly didn't take a pic of the '89 Tange1 road frame I rode at the overlook...so here is one from the opposite side of the prairie.

Cool pic; ready for Ragbrai? Your kids are getting old enough to do it too, right?
