Congratulations!
You've acquired one of the most interesting bikes in our hobby.
It's nice to have a bike with such thorough documentation.
The craftsmanship that resurrected this bike from what seemed to be an unsalvageable state is astounding.
Thanks for keeping us in touch with such an amazing work of art.

I very much agree cyclingday. I have been amazed by the work Steve put into this bike and am thankful for all of the pictures he took as well as the messages he posted along the way.

Thank you. I was apprehensive about it because I prefer the shiny restored ones but once I saw it in person I fell in love with it and wouldn't change a thing about it. After riding it I've been amazed at how comfortable the leaf-spring seat rides. It and the Phantom seat I recently posted are the most comfortable seats I've ridden on.

@123totalpack I think I saw that you grabbed a cool bike yesterday yourself.

I love that Mercury. Wow! I hope you get the girls one too. It's beautiful. As far as the the BB goes the answer is yes.
