Dave, That is one gorgeous bike. Thanks to Grant for designing it, and thanks to you for posting the photos.
This tread also includes comments about bike weight. I noticed earlier today on the Waterford site -- where they have scans of historic Schwinn brochures -- that my 1961 Schwinn American weighed fifty pounds. I didn’t notice, at the time. It had one speed. Yesterday, I did this ride http://www.highlandercycletour.com/ on my 2000 Rivendell Road. As I went around a guy -- about the age of my son -- who was sitting in the road on a nasty 23-percent grade, I thought of my 30/24 low that I was using. I was dripping with sweat. 70-degree afternoon. I went by him at a walking pace, and we had a nice conversation. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop, because the hill was too steep to stop and get going again. Just for some perspective: My buddy just got back from the Alps where he did 18-percent grades.
