northbend, that is one beautiful bike. I really enjoyed reading about the background on your trade, subsequent disuse of the bike and your reawakening to the love you once knew for this great machine. Great story atmo.

Now, that looks like the Yakima River Canyon! Fantastic ride and a great place to take a C&V bike.

Beautiful restoration on the Bruce Gordon! Could be another option for our C&V contingent on the Manastash Metric ride in October.

Fantastic bike!

Great looking bike. I am not sure which is better the bike or the scenery on the background.

Yakima Canyon it is. In fact just passed thru there again yesterday on a 90 mile ride with some friends.

I like the idea of doing a C&V forum ride - lets do that

Thanks, I took that photo last year in May at the end of bike to work month. I logged over 1000 miles commuting (56 mi r/t) for the month most of it on this bike. Those fenders come in handy

Great looking bike. I love the color you chose for the redux. Probably just me, but from that rear view that seatstay cluster should be wearing underwear. Lewd, Bruce Gordon, lewd!

You, sir, have a twisted mind. But I see what you mean ;)

That's one High Art frame you have there - and the new paint really makes all the fine detail pop. Strange that your friend traded down for your Capo. Maybe the lure of a nice Italian frame dazzled him and he forgot what he had. Wonderful pictures too, by the way. Thanks so much for sharing!
