John: That's a wonderful offer to help out those who've been hurt by the economy. Kudos to Rivendell for doing what you can. Maybe your stimulus package will start a trend. As you say, we're all in this together. Now to get with the holiday shopping! BTW, how did Rivendell pick Sam

That's the bike, all right. I remember now that the frame had been pinned together before it was brazed, and the pin was still there. The glue and hose clamp were there to hold it together. Patrick Shea doesn't show up in the official results (here:
