Hehe, the line is getting long with people who've told me that, Jason. This happened to the seller, too: people were calling him with over-price offers as he was packing it up for me!  On Fri, Sep 25, 2020, 11:38 AM Jason Fuller wrote: > Can I call dibs now if you decide to sell it in the

Thanks Roberta! The air is clear today so I'm going to get out there and finally find out how my bike feels, I haven't even ridden it since it came to me with dropbars that were wy too far away to reach. Answers to several folk's questions, hopefully I'll remember them all: The finish is

Oh sry that was confusing. not for me (I was just excited about yours. Dude It’s the best !). So I had made a short list of scavenger hunt projects for my nieces and ‘find a bombadil’ was one of their tasks. I gave them a final hint to check my inbox and bonus !! Thx for posting :) On

My tentacled 2014 Bombadil was built by both Waterford and Nobilette. The lugged diagatube frame and fork were done by Waterford and the tentacles were fillet brazed by Nobilette on its way to the west coast. [image: Capture.JPG] Laing Delray Beach FL On Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at

Good call, Andrew, the seller said Toyo but my numbers look like yours. The first letter is hard to decipher but I think it's V=5=May then 09..must be a Waterford. I'm ok with this! Your Bombadil is so nice. On Tue, Sep 22, 2020, 9:36 PM Andrew Letton wrote: > Looks great, Joe! Enjoy the

Looks great, Joe! Enjoy the ride! One question: are you certain that it is Toyo-built? My 60cm early 2TT Bombadil was built by Waterford. What is the serial number format on yours; that may tell us something. (Mine is L080xx. Built in L=12=December of '08.)  Does anyone else recall the history
