1. Ride more, do my century training, ride my 1st century in July.
2. Finish my Mondonico Campy 10 speed build for the training and the event.
3. Convert the Trek 610 to tubular wheels and Campy 8-speed
4. Build my '68-69 PX-10E and ride it.
5. figure out how to fix Mrs. Road Fan's bike fit so her arms don't hurt.
6. Think about selling the Woodrup and the Masi.

The big one: repainting my Mariposa, and maybe getting some parts... Hoping for some decent cartridge wheels, centrepulls (though I have some Mafac Racers that may do the trick), and getting the generator going.
Other stuff:
-Bianchi frankenbike flatbar commuter... just needs wheels.
-wheels for the Pogliaghi trackie
-Maybe, just maybe a proper fork for the Nobilette cx bike... there's a kinesis aluminum monstrosity on there now, and I'd like Mr Nobilette to build me a new one. Not cheap, but I wants.

Maybe your Mariposa just went up in value. Mike is hanging it up tomorrow.

2008 Vintage resolutions...
Commute to work more often (commuter is a '79 Raleigh pro, too much maligned to restore and a SWEET riding bike)
Clean up my shop so I am not embarrased to have folk visit.
Do a Vintage ride on my '73 Raleigh Competition.
Finish building up my PY-10
Get a good start building my Viscount
Cheers from Dallas!
