Hey Bunch,
Just finished reading and looking at Liesl's new beauty and frankly it was
difficult to tear my eyes from it! As always I enjoy Grants write up's and
my favorite image of the set is Liesl and her new Chica Warrior Stallion
together. Ride that beauty in good health. And it would be

Very good question. Some of the PDXers wear Red wing Chukka's which look
fantastic.

They might chime in. The only issue I see with those are the lack of a

Congrats on finally receiving the Saluki. I know all too well the
excitement of that day, reminds me of childhood when I had no
responsibility to speak of and your parents get you that new bike, it
spells freedom. I also think you're wise to let the color either grow on

It was awesome! Good miles, good company and I'll post my ride report soon

Emily,
Obviously, we don't know your personal finances, with that aside I agree
with Chris there are other fine bicycles out there that will cost far less
and do all that you want a bike to do but with less aesthetic beauty like
the Surly's. I never thought I'd be able to afford a Rivendell
Eric,
The Saluki looks really beautiful. I to am not fond of the basket look but
it does seem really practical. Yes the notion of traveling around Japan
would be awesome, though I've been following these folks and Korea calls to
me. http://www.flickr.com/photos/worldbiking/9812169743/. Anyway
