Hi, John, CR Mates---
I'm responding to John's post, at the bottom of the page, below my original for sale message----
Thanks, John. You mentioned it's a nice candidate for a fixed gear. That's what I was going to do with it, and what the new owner (a recent CR Member) plans on doing with it. With no brazeons, it seems well-suited for such a set-up.
And I kept the fixed cup in---didn't want to tangle with that, and the new owner can use it, one way or another.
See you at the Chronometro swap in Madison next weekend???? Any other CR Members making the trip?
Cheers,
Peter
