Did anyone end up with this or did it just fade away?

Thanks- I tried reaching out to him. He hasn't been back since he posted that and he never responded to my message-

The Crosby Peerless arrived- much rougher than one would gather from the photos-A lot of small modifications over the years, quite a bit of frame damage/ dents. I can usually deal with this kind of work or know someone who is very good at bike frame building/ repair. The missing BB cone on the Ewald crank/BB is another matter. Morrow hubs on a 26" wheel set. I will start a new thread when it is not raining and I can get some photos of things in the sunlight-
