Bought the frame set in 1998 or so and gradually built it into a rugged daily commuter. Currently in the shop for a re-configure. Not totally sure, but I think it will go back toward original, in flavor at least...
Strangely, this highly visible bike is the one I was riding the only time I was ever hit by a car- a red light runner tagged my rear wheel and spun me around, but I didn't go down, and the only damage was a broken rear fender and light.
