A bit of my cycling soul has been sold, but the new owner looks like a good lot. Take good care of him Jonathan, and if you decide it's not working out, don't hesitate to let me know.

Gone, but not forgotten...
... I write this with a heavy heart for I have suffered a loss tonight. A good friend, who never asked anything of me other than time and care but gave back more than I can describe in words is gone, but not forgotten. I will miss you old friend, you deserve more than I could provide.

I feel your pain brother, experienced it every bike I've ever sold. Some small consolation for you, I finally posted some pics of the fat front Inbred on my blog. Let me know what you think...and Happy New Year!
Chris,
Thanks, glad I'm not the only one to get attached to a bike. Dude, your Jerry Springer bike rocks! What front hub is that again? Is it 110mm or 135mm? I didn't know anyone but Paul was making a 135mm front hub. Looks amazing, how's the ride?
Hey Bob,
It's a 100mm Hope II front hub, I went with the 100mm fork rather than the 135mm offset. It's a bit of a slug to get rolling but once you're moving it's great, makes mincemeat out of most obstacles and is oh-so-smooth going downhill. Definately requires more muscling during slow speed stuff. I've been swapping between the LM/Endo and my WW 29/Delgado as conditions dictate, I'm glad I did it. BTW, what's the job situation these days, you any closer to coming back east?
Chris, ah... I'd forgotten about the non off-set fork available. I've put the project on the back burner for the time being.
Job situation back east isn't the challenge, the wife is fighting me on moving back, so I think we'll stay in place until the market stabilizes a bit more. We're going to re-fi which means I need to stay here at least 2-3 more years... but after that it's fair game.
