A beauty nice build Justin. Did the cats help you wrench? My dog tries to help but the lack of opposable thumb seems to be a deterrent. Seriously ride the heck out of that Bleriot.

The cats are very important to my bike building process. One sniffs everything out to make sure it's okay and the other knocks all my nuts and screws around on the floor. Maybe help isn't the right word... On Jul 22, 12:57 pm, RoadieRyan rya...@hotmail.com wrote: A beauty nice build Justin. Did the cats help you wrench?

Welcome to the Bleriot club. Awesome bike. I've enjoyed it immensely and its never let me down whether I was on the streets of Chicago to the gravel roads of rural Minnesota. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Wow! You are fast! I was just wondering if it had safely arrived and there it is built up. Looking great. Nice built with smart selection of parts. Wish you many happy miles on a great bike.
