eBay and Craigslist finds

Wait until you meet the guy selling the bike and then you will understand why he wrote that sentence. He's a decent chap too.
I've actually seen the bike and its very very nice. I also know it came from tour de ville and cost him a bit.

The bike is absolutely stunning. No small measure of jealousy in having the coin to be able to do a first time build like that-feel bad for the mockery but it does read pretty strangely. 50 hail mary's for me...
