Actually snagged this off Ebay a week ago. It arrived yesterday and I got her all put together.

The downside is now Vicky and I have matching bikes...

Downside?? I fail to see the downside. I think it just shows you have good taste in copying me! Smiley

Besides when you get around to it, you have that red bar tape to wrap the bars in, so then we won't match. And if you ask me real nice, I might give you my red Giro helmet sticker too, so it would go with your new color scheme... Wink

We actually bought this a few days ago, but am just now getting to the library...no net way up in the Rockies! So Kim is now the new owner (3rd owner, by best available data) of Catrike Speed #36. 2003 model, with very low miles, less than 200 by all accounts. Excellent condition, and we also got a bag full of extras: fenders, extra tie rod, extra handle bars, extra head rest, 2 BRAND NEW seats! It's gonna be fun times when we get back to where the oxygen is!!

Pics to follow when we get home.

Actually, I've divested myself of quite a bit of inventory over the last year, which is how I bought Dave's bike without outlaying any extra cash. Mostly upright stuff and odds and ends. He gave me a very nice price + a bit of trade, so it'll be a nice investment until I sell it later on to buy that CA2.0 or Morciglio.

I just ordered a new wheelset from Joe Young. Warren gave me a Velocity Uriel wheelset from Hostel Shoppe for Christmas several years ago, but the rear hub wore out several months ago, and the front rim is now split. I'm running my old Axiom 700 and Warren's skinny front wheel from his P38.

I ordered D T Swiss hubs, spokes and rear rim. The front rim will be Velocity high pressure. Joe built up a Hujsak frame for me 20+ years ago, campy except for Mavic rims and spokes. I rode those wheels until a friend gave me some hand-me-down Bontragers a few years ago.

Check out his website at [http://youngwheels.com//url]
