I took this out for it's first real ride yesterday and it rides.
But it got me thinking... about the fact that for some unknowable reason I am drawn to second-hand frames.
It may be because they resonate with a different frequency than a new bike. Or it may be that a used bike has a bit of mystery. My own naivité contributes greatly to this theory -- I have no clue whose name is written (in Kanjii) on the downtube.
It is often the bit of mystery that makes discovering a bike's attributes pleasurable.
