Brian,
It has been a while without hearing from you. It is always a treat to get a
post from you! I can't wait to see just what you think the Holy Grail is
among bikes.
Is it something that you have made yourself? If I had to guess I would say
a sublime fixed gear that speaks of the simple elegance of the essence of
bicycle. In fact I would be willing to bet one and all (unless they are
cheating and have some inside information that I don't) an espresso drink
that I am right.
I hope I don't appear too argumentative when I point out that it will be
your own vision of that ideal bicycle and even though you may be far more
enlightened than the vast majority of us...certainly more so than me...that
it is still one person's perspective of it all.
Apparently you are catching up on your mail. I have several things to tell
you and ask about that I will write about off list. Welcome back! It just
hasn't been the same list without you in recent days.
