Keith: I accuse you of over-restoration. :-)

How do you plead to doing perfect boxwork, beyond anything I ever remember seeing on a Taylor? Will you tell us how you did it? Freehand after giving up sex, drugs, and beer for six months to steady the hand?* Selling your soul to the Mephistopheles for a magic machine? Really lovely!

harvey sachs, mcLean VA. *I once knew a biology prof. whose research required doing thyroidectomies on tadpoles. Back when everyone smoked. Said he had to stop for weeks before doing a round of the procedures. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Joe Bender-Zanoni wrote: As to working on tandems, you naturally thinks it is a single bike times 1.5 in terms of time. More like 5 times in my experience. That frame restoration is what the Taylor brothers would have liked to do if they didn't need to earn a living! Gorgeous. ++++++++++++++++++ Keith Anderson wrote: Here's one of 2 that I am currently working on. Lots of work, but worth it when this thing rolls out looking like new. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27880623@N05/5306799776/
