The colonoscopy I had in January came back with good pictures and no problems - which I considered pretty.

The Hetchins is last month's news. I'm still truing the wheels and need to wrap the handlebars on it.

Raleigh? Did you say Raleigh? Raleigh made a lot of different models. I did say three colors didn't I?

CV-6, You're not allowed to "guess" here. Neither is Dr.Deltron.

Reese Witherspoon is not British. Does that mean that you'll be sending her frame to my house? I need to prepare Patti for the houseguest...

Not British? She pretends rather well though, so no. If her frame does show up, it won't be getting passed on. You're safe.

Congrats JYB.

Yes. I know you want pictures, but I want to at least get the headset on and install the fork before I do that.
