I did not read every thing but I did go back and look at the first 8 or so pages and my original comment that got me subscribed to the thread. I am guessing you're long since retired retired from the Navy at this point, I hope you're enjoying what ever you are up to now.
Ah, you were subbed - you must have gotten a notification

Didn't realize you were one of our younger members bitd. So you've gone from the end of adolescence to man to The Man (dad). And lots of professional accomplishments in the intervening years, too - good show. Too bad about the Jeep, tho

Yup, retired and loving life in sunny AZ for the time being, riding this bike into the ground - it was my only available bike for nearly a year!

Thanks for swinging by; keep on keeping on!

Thank you! When I began this project a decade ago, I knew nothing about modern stuff. An awful lot of members steered me in the right direction, facilitating the final result. A few changes in the intervening years, made again with the input of smarter and more experienced people than I, but it has mostly remained true to original form.

My most modern bike, both frame and components,

And yet, at the same time, one of the most "CV" bikes here...

I know this bike will get many miles, but it definitely qualifies as a "show bike" in my book. And to me, that's a good thing.

One of my favorite posts!

I love this thread. Orange bikes are something I've always loved and this one is no exception. And the detailing is off the charts. Just a wonderful, wonderful frame and tasteful build. Glad to see the thread still active.

Thank you for the nice comments! I'd have answered sooner, but been out of town and left the computer at home for a change

Orange bikes and orange cats are where it's at!

Ride is super-awesome, too, and of course, it's my only Ergo bike, so it gets love, too. Lots more than normal in this past year, plus now I get a brand-new experience: 853, and tubular tires mated to machined rims. Def a game-changer.
