beg yr pardon.
I should have said: "you can either deal with it or not."
or: "you can either choose to deal with it or choose not to."
or something else not meaning to imply you lacked testicular fortitude. that was not my intention.

An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.

I guess this is one of those rebranded Olympic ones:
From this website https://centerportcycles.com/pages/sc...rapbook02.html
"I didn't take this picture. Annie Liebowitz did; for a photo essay on Olympic athletes in Vanity Fair. I'll probably get sued if she finds out that I'm using it. Anyway I think it is a very cool shot of Rebecca Twigg.
"Twigg was a many-time World Champion in the pursuit. She must have been traveling in this area because she showed up at one of Vito's training races in Uniondale. Those races were run as one big field, no separate categories, so we got to ride with her. I remember that she had a very distictive pedaling motion. At the end of the race there was a break away up the road and Rebecca was one of those left to contest the field sprint. There were probably 50 men left in the peloton but it came down to Twigg and Jim Lehane at the line.
"The skinny little girl prevailed and Lehane had to hide his face for a few weeks. As usual, after the race, most of the group went over to Giuseppie's in Westbury for pizza and beer. Rebecca was with Leslie and Harvey Nitz. She was at least as shy off the bike as she was assertive on it. She sat there like a little mouse. After a while she loosened up but she still didn't have much to say. Uncharacteristicly, niether did Jim."

Gt
Looks like a custom Tiemeyer, re-badged.
I wonder who made this carbon number?

Keep posting links for GT's for sale if you want, but for other people. I don't really understand if you guys were posting those for me or something.

Not sure if you caught this in the ebay thread yet or if it is even close to your size, but...
https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bik/402093806.html
or if you are even near seattle, but perhaps you could work something out

I'd kill for a GT track frame.
Just give me the name...
Seriously, I've been riding a road GT frame fixed for a while and it's just not the same. I'll be watching this thread intently.
EDIT: I've also considered getting the Paterek manual and making my own, but the seatstays look like it'd be beyond the skills of a beginner.

EDIT: and I really want a GT. Track, road or even MTB. Too bad that one isn't a 52cm, I'm a sucker for that triple triangle hotness.
