Yep, he didn't like the idea of one of the shifters being on the other side of the frame from his shifting hand. My pictures from the trip aren't as good as Freddy's and I don't have a close-up of the shifter so I can't help there. Art would love folks to come by his place and see him. If you go to his house you'll see the case clocks he's made which I think are just stellar. He's really not that interested in the bikes he built since he never considered himself a bike builder. He's done a lot of very interesting things beyond bikes, and if you want to talks about steam power he's your man. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives 10 days and counting in Santa Barbara, Calif. ++++++++++++++++++ "Sine coffea nihil sum."
