Are you going to try and make it up to Barnwell? if your in Houston maybe we could make it a two-4runner convoy.

Quote: full Campy parts and Rigida 13-19mm rims. It was a hybrid frame. Not a steep angle fork like a short track bike nor a flat touring angle either. Nice mix. I was geared at 108" top end on the corn cob.
I was just about to ask if it had all this stuff on it. just kidding.

I hated Campy I am a Dura-Ace type guy

I miss my Colnago.

Anyone want to buy a Specilized road carbon with Dura-Ace? from around 1997 or so?

Quote: Yes, but in 1972 Campagnolo was the best you could buy. The Japanese were still catching up back then. Consumer carbon frames did not exist. You had 2040 or 531 steel. I also did not run sew ups. It's running Specialized tires. Huge purchase for a kid still in high school but I put 3,000 to 3,500 miles every year on it.

What was the topic of this thread again?
I personally hate carbon/alum frames. I like to feel the bike flex (or liked) steel is real baby

I think we were talking about my lift...oh wait I rememebr I think we were talking about some place on north eastern Texas

So Mark...you still can't go huh??

I ordered my lift today ( Yeah!!!) and Mike is sending me the SAW from az and all the Old Man Emu stuff is comming from ARB USA...so who knows when I will get everything.

That would be great if we could all meet up and put this bad boy together and drink/eat afterwards...looking at our pretty trucks

I'm game for where ever ... I'll have to look to see if we have any planes coming in our out on the weekends.

Herk, I dunno if you actually want any help from us, because I know you mentioned having some friends handy who are good with tools. I know I'm a girl, but I'm good at jumping on ratchets to loosen tight nuts, and I'm good at crawling under the trucks and taking things apart.

I don't want to force my help on you, but just know that I am available, and even if you don't want me to do any actual wrenching (though i would love to) I am always good for bringing drinks or anything you guys want. My mom could make cookies, too.

Just let me know. I am available any weekend before the 19th and it's not a horrible drive ... I've been itching for a roadtrip anyway.

looks like I'll be in the DFW area on July 24th so I can more than likely make a run that weekend.

No I can't go on the 19th. I'd like to. It's my birthday and I know for a fact that I'm getting a 5 figure check (in front of the decimal) to help distribute my Aunt's estate, plus it's fathers day and Dad is my best buddy and fish'in partner. It's a complicated weekend for me. Plus our annual air show, Aerospace America that weekend and the Blue Angels



are here this year so Dad and I are going. I always take my scanner to listen in on the airboss and the pilots. I can even get the good military AM frequencies with this old scanner. New ones have them blocked out.

Tracy, Todd needs to ORDER his lift first. j/k I'm game for another run somewhere.
I've always been more of a Thunderbirds fan myself.

I saw the Thunderbirds for 5 years straight back in the late 70's early 80's when I lived on the base at Selfridge ANG in Michigan. "Smoke on! Ready Now!!!" brings back some memories. my dad used to pilot the USCG HH52's in the shows on base, he was the CO of the CG base on Selfridge and Group Detroit.

you aren't talking about these 4 horsemen are you, j/k:
