Max, Thanks for the update, it's great to see the Racer M's found such a great home! Really love the blue & cream with silver components and the mix of bits of classic and more modern aesthetic.
The first photo was taken in Cambridge? It sure looks like Cambridge. I've moved around a fair bit for work, but my favorite move was two years I spent in Watertown right on the Cambridge border. Really a fabulous place to live, but even more so if you're a cyclist. Really, really miss that place ...
