I was hoping to see you on Sunday

sleep is still tough - my ribs won't quite let me sleep in a bed, so I'm still sleeping in a recliner.

adding a photo - my favorite view of moustache bar

rained out again this weekend, but I've knocked out 175 miles on Isolde - though I may get out this afternoon.
I think this bike will hit 1000 mi before any of my others gains 100, though did get in a chilly wet hill country ride on the be-fendered Viner Thanksgiving weekend.
(and an update on me - been sleeping flat for over a week)

What a wonderful looking bike.

want to see it finished.

This is actually a friend's bike. He does wonderful work like you. I'm sending him a link to your post.

It's going to hit 70 at 2pm, with 5mph N, 50%rh. I'm loading the bike and taking it into the office, catching up on my report while I wait on outstanding results, then heading to Leon Creek Greenway...

a last update on the International.
After a bit of straightening (front) from the wreck, and a lot of cleaning, installed my old Honjo fenders and got them in final adjustment. Was surprised to find the wheelbase and fork offset was slightly longer on this bike than on the old GP. Had to buy new U-stays to cut them a bit longer. Because the brake bridge is lower on the International, had to replace my rear bridge mount with the actual Honjo rear part - before, I had used the Honjo front L-bracket on the GP rear because of its tall brake bridge.

Ben's cycle is the source for all things Honjo...
his prices are pretty high, especially on complete pre-drilled fender sets, but having all the small hardware available in one place, you don't mind being nickel-and-dimed.
Jitensha is still the place for undrilled fender blanks, and their prices are better, but it's a little tougher getting their attention.

Was out on the bike on New Year's Day with the Sunday-morning group. Only 3 of us showed up, but we had a great ride. Howard was snowed-in somewhere in CO.
Last week, with good weather, managed to break 100 mi for the week.
Yesterday morning again managed to join the crack-of-dawn downtown ride. Twenty of us this time, and it was my first time to see Howard since the wreck. Saw Tad there for the first time since our messy Christmas-break ride.
Yesterday was a great fender ride - we were socked in with low ceiling and riding through a fine mist.
Managed to get home before the real rain started.
