All taken in stride and fresh as daisies.

But he obviously takes pride in what he does and it shows.<br /><br />Aaron2whls3spdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954543886269776858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-57915717156659171242009-10-18T22:20:08.580-04:002009-10-18T22:20:08.580-04:00oh dusty violet! yeah yeah!

I do love that rising sun front rack; very elegant indeed (as is the Scorcher Antique it's mounted on). The turquoise mixte is intriguing; looks like hub brakes at the front? Super colour too!

But I have this feeling that I will like it. I also think my funky short frame with long legs for the frame deserves a custom to my size bike! <br /><br />sigh. Well, hopefully I can go next year and bring my ANT with me. :-)MamaVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519007680870604271noreply@blogger.com
