Summer of the bike (again)

"So take me away, i don't mind
But you better promise me, i'll be back in time
Gotta Get back in time
Gotta Get back in time
Get me back in time."

It's 1991.
I purchased this bad boy off of craigslist for $100, it's nearly pristine, no use, no scratches. The woman i bought it from was prepping for a Triathlon, but the bike was too small for her. I have no idea where she got it, but the thing does not even have wear on the crank arms! The only things that aren't original are the Saddle, and the tires. Tires=awesome, saddle=suck. Swing away merril.

Part 2:

Gen has me building her a Rivindell Sam Hillborne bike. We chose to go old school on this one, and build it ourselves. Should be done by tuesday, it's the cadillac of bikes.

Yes, but your saddle will be new and comfy soon! It will be your Happy Anniversary present... even though it contains no copper, brass, or wool (that I'm aware of).
