Excellent to hear it's working out as you'd hoped!  Looking forward to more

 Bleriots rarely come up for sale as well. My first Saluki, the 56cm that 
 was too large was green with sidepulls which I prefer but happy to have 
 gotten any Saluki. I prefer sidepulls due to hand issues and I find them 
 easier to open up to remove a ties. This was my first one…. I hope it is

Thanks Rich.  I wasn’t sure if the bags would work when I got the frame but 
I like it now. The size is great, it would work for you too.

Fantastic Saluki. It looks like a perfect build. Congratulations on your 
first ride.

Hi Joel,

I've had similar requests to keep others in mind if I sell mine, but I 
cannot imagine letting it go.  

https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/VlLOB0qumr0

I'm a bit curious how many were made, but always assumed they rarely go up 
for sale because they are spectacular bikes.  

Best regards,
Matt in Oswego, IL

Thanks Matt. I had mentioned to Johnny that if he was ever going to sell it I 
wanted it. He remembered and was so overly fair.

That's a nice bike and build. The Saluki is one of my favorite bikes, if 
not *the* favorite.  Congrats on the acquisition.
