BECAUSE YOU PUT IT IN THE FRAME CLUSTER, I FINISHED IT. MANY THANKS. THIS IS MY FIRST RIDE. BOUGHT IN '75 TO RUN THE PEPSI BIKE MARATHONS IN CENTRAL PARK BACK IN THE SEVENTIES. IT STILL COMES OUT ON SUNNY DAYS TO RELIVE IT'S DAYS OF GLORY AND TO MAKE ME FEEL YOUNG. BACK THEN IT WAS BLK/WHT AND ALL STOCK. NEW PAINT EQUALS NEW PARTS, IT ONLY FAIR.

THERE ARE ONLY THREE LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN CYCLING. ITALIAN, FRENCH, AND SOME SPANISH (ZEUS). THE REST OH WELL. A FIRST LOVE NEVER DIES, LET HIM DENY IT AS HE WILL.

LECHE LIVES!

Wow! You did an amazingly good job on it. I like those colors so much better than the original.

Edit: I am curious about one thing. Instead of the brownish orange Brooks wrap, had you considered using green or black Tressostar to keep the colors consistent?

The wrap is Brooks

The wrap is Brooks honey(photographs bad)black a little to common, could'nt find green. Hard color to work with. I wanted some kind of padding. The Tressostar was too bright. A different saddle, I might have gone that way.

Love your rides, especially the Benotto. Plan to build some kind of club racer in the future. I do all of this in between deployments to Iraq. I more on the way.

Hehe, thanks. I hear you about the lack of padding. I just noticed the green Brooks saddle. Nice touch!
