Looks fantastic, Laing! I’ve often wondered how a Gus would look with a LD stem and there it is! 

Is there a way to know which batch Gus I have from the serial number or any other identifying characteristics? Mine is the same color as yours, and I picked mine up when Golden Saddle was just starting to clear their shop, so it may have been there a while.

I recently sold my Hubbuhubbuh and my Gus Boots Willsen was the recipient on the Paul Motolite brakes that had been on the Hubbuhubbuh. I also lowered the bars and put a Blue Lug tapered brass spacer between the stem and headset, waxed the chain, taped the rest of the bars, and trimmed the cables. I took it out for a test ride in the neighborhood. Still getting used to how high it sits, but really rides smooth over crumpled pavement.
