Just noticed the Bridgestone and Orrell posted here. It was tough having to let one go, they are both bikes I know I'd miss, and both very hard to come by again. The Orrell, with the short top tube and generous tyre clearance, is very unique for a late 1970s bike. The Bridgestone is a joy, and opens up infinite build options, which is a lot of fun to think of.
Anyway, Orrell is now gone. I miss it already. In the end it was the more rational outcome because my other bike can do all that the Orrell could (albeit with a lot less charm). I miss it already.
