Joe, you pinned me, the lady like frame is hard for me but the Atlantis and Appaloosa (should it come back in stock) are looking very nice to me. My thoughts are to use my components from the Bleriot, will never find the Suntour stuff I have again, and if I love it then I can get some other components for the Bleriot or sell the frame. I do like having 2 bikes but it is not a necessity anymore. If my hands don’t get better (I am ok on the bike with them) I can sell my guitars and buy whatever I want. Thanks again Joe, great connecting with old iBob and RBW friends again.
