Always a pleasure to meet up with folks I’ve been corresponding with on this list, and the beer with Tony was a plus! That build looks great, Tony, and much more practical than my silly interim single speed build on that frame.
Congratulations, and thanks for an entirely pleasant transaction.

Pardon the poor image quality... I met up with Tom at about 4:30 today to pick up my new blue 56 Bombadil. It was a real pleasure meeting you Tom, thanks for the fantastic bike! While the bike came with a sweet Bullmoose cockpit I have a ~80 mile ride planned for Veterans Day and I didn't think I could hack the upright cockpit for that long of a day so I went into a crash build tonight with parts from all over the garage... good thing my Saluki is still down for the count as many of her parts were pressed into service. And yes as you'll see the Co-Op Nitto Handle Works Forged stem did make the initial build! :) Build highlights; 56 Bombadil - taller and bigger than I had expected... very close dimensions to my 60 Saluki 48cm Noodle handlebars w/ Nitto forged stem Bruce Gordon Canti's (super sweet, thanks Tom!) Sugino Triple off my Saluki Velocity 32H 650B wheelset off my Saluki Vee Rubber 650Bx1.95 Tires VO Orange brake cable housing Silver Shifter (rear/right only) No FD, stick shift for now Nitto R-14 rear rack / Nitto saddlebag QR & Carradice longflap I think that's about it, I'll be commuting in tomorrow morning thanks to the successful build tonight... Can't wait!
