This bike was outed to the list a couple of days ago. New pictures are up showing details of some accessories, including a neat freewheel kit. http://www.photobucket.com/cafenoir900-bike0306071

One thing that I notice is how high the lugwork is above the tubes along the seatpost. If a listmember buys this bike, I highly recommend you convince the seller to ship the bike with an old seatpost installed. At first I thought the seatpost lacks the engraving of the rest of the parts, but on close look, it appears there is special engraving that is hidden by the lugs. That seems a bit strange given the atttention to detail elsewhere to showcase the engraving design. Odd size this bike, with the short toptube, but a very nice example of what a builder can do to add to the elaborate frame designs by personalizing the design of the parts. Reminds me of ruffles and flourishes (although I don't believe that ruffles and flourishes have a visual side to match the music). Lou Deeter, Orlando FL USA
