Glad you got a test ride in--that makes a big difference. I'll have a 54cm Saluki for sale before too long--a custom replacement is in my future! (that would go well in the "winter project," thread.)
Most of the drivetrain and the wheels are going onto my new bike, but I could provide a partial build. The bike has some history--it was the first caramel-colored Saluki for example. It also has some history in that there are a few chipped paint spots and scrapes--no rust but some touching up has been done and more would be in order. Pics here: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=saluki&w=40738390%40N08 Price to be determined by interest and what parts would be included.

Test rode a 52 Bombadil fits perfect and the owner has almost the same body type as I do he is 5'10" and has an 80 PBH. Saluki - 56 or 54 maybe Sam Hillborne - 52 Bombadil - 52 A Homer Hilsen - 56 I love em all and would ride em till the cows come home. They are pretty bikes that happen to make sense too (or maybe they are practical bikes that happen to look pretty?)
