Great job!!
Thank you!
I love the way this bike rides. So far I've put about 30 miles on it and have no complaints. My other bike that I've been primarily riding for the past 3 years is an aluminum single speed, so the ride on this is a thousand times smoother and really comfortable considering the more road-type geometry. However, I’m sure some of the comfort level can be attributed to the 700X28 tires which seem to absorb almost everything. It's also crazy fast compared to what I'm used to. I took it out last night and easily got up to speeds I've never seen on my other bike. I highly recommend this to anyone in the market for a fast, steel road bike.
The Macho Man is a sweet bike as well. I considered waiting on that when they announced it, or the Space Horse, but I couldn't wait and bought this frameset when the bike shop had a sale. Luckily, my wife will be getting a Space Horse in the next month so I'll be able to see how she likes it.

Yes! But I need to take a new pic, shown it's got a early 80's pantographed 3ttt stem and I've since fitted a period correct Modolo still black but longer. The old stem is not as noticeable with this pic. Thanks.
