Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Also, I just got a frameset. I should probably build this one before I get another one.

Hey Velo Vol we use id.me to generate a rotating 6 digit code to prescribe controlled substances. It was a pita to set up but works ok once you are confirmed. At least that was my experience.

You use the 2-factor authentication code they send out?

I already had an id.me account established that only required name and email. Now they need credit checks and stuff. Sigh.

Only recognized wind speed measurement in these United States:

This is from the You Nighty States gummint and has wind speeds in knots (if you know how to read it). Just ask brother Bam.

So where were you when I needed this sort of sound advice ? You know, before I ended up in this predicament.

...possibly. I ride some 58's, as well as 59 and 60 frames. I can measure if you want, I think maybe the red Scapin might be a 58.
