Oh well, maybe I will give up on tubulars for this. Does not seem easy to come by any more with rim brakes.

Here’s a bicycle I sent out in 1980 that’s still in regular use.
It’s back for some TLC.
All original except the wheels and saddle.
I’ll add more images later.
44 years old, looks the business. Great color combo with the matching cables.
What bar is that?
Good bones are good bones.
Every morning, often before 7am, Stevie and I get into the car and drive three streets over to Fountain Hill Cemetery. It’s there where she takes me for a walk.
Being so young, everything is still new to Stevie. She moves slowly, and often backwards, and mostly ponders. Eventually she does what she needs to do.
I’m there with my own demons, anxieties, and self-doubt. And this daily ritual Stevie and I have allows me to do what I need to do too. I also ponder.
As I opened the car door and reached over to lift her out from the driver side, I took in the crisp autumn air and smelled the wet grass and leaves underfoot.
Today I was consumed with the beauty of everything around me. Of everything around us. I said aloud to anyone who might hear, “What a lovely day.”
I put Stevie down. I closed the car door. And to my right was a tombstone marked with the family name, Day. In that moment all I could do was pause.
Sometimes, for me at least, the hardest thing to do is pay attention. This morning, more than ever before, I thought about the scent of life. And how beautiful it is.
