Happy New Years to everyone.
Thanks to everyone who helped ID the Le Champion frame I picked up in December. I hate to admit it, but I am a wee bit color blind - and for sure don't know the proper namings for many hues - but I like the description one list member offered - 'Lilac'. My wife says it's a girls bike color, but I say heck... I'm not worried about gender discrepancies in my old steel bikes !!
I took it out for a brisk, windy New Years day ride, and with the new Gommitalia sewups it got for Christmas, it rides really nice.
I added some of the finishing pics to the bottom of this page:

...and here are a few shots (heavily biking related) of some great
Holiday rides I snuck in over the break.

Take care, and hope to see some of you up in Portland !!
