Yes! The long version is... He got me into cycling when I was a kid, talking about doing the Paris-Roubaix 'sportive' (full 250km although I think it was just called a 'ride' back then) in about 1975, and being in Paris to watch Lemond win the tour by 8 seconds in '89. His favourite was Bernard Hinault, and we used to do a lot of riding together very close to where he is from in Brittany. Dad stopped riding as much the last few years, but is retired now and hopefully this will get him back into it. First ride reports are positive, and he's already talking about a tour round Normandie, so it's looking good!
Agree that it's a cool thread, and right that it includes everyone. Building bikes for others means I don't have enough time to spend a load of money on my own too!
