WOWZAA!. . . now that's a bike I'm really glad I can't even stand over. If it was 4 cm smaller I'd be forced to bid on it. Andy is one of the great American builders and he's totally low profile. I lived in Portland for a year and spend my weekends there for two years more, but I never met Andy or many other people who knew him. All the frames I've seen of his show true Yankee ingenuity without being too flashy. I was suppose to be there right now with Mitzi while she presents at a Medieval conference. Alas I'm at home Parrot sitting. I guess that's a good thing since I would be parked outside his shop in the morning with a tape recorder and a long list of questions after seeing this bike. ciao, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB,CA
