We've finished assembly of my Hot Rod Raleigh International, and pictures are available at http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u59634&a064596 .

She's lovely to look and delightful to hold, but I've only managed one short spin around the parking lot, where I nearly gelded myself because I forgot to tighten the seat clamp adequately. Unfortunately, inclement weather is postponing her maiden cruise, but I hope to ride a decent road test soon.

Special thanks to Mike Hamilton of Bicycle Adventure, my LBS for shop space and Yoda-like guidance to this nervous amateur wrench, and Listies Jeremy Haynes and Sarah Gibson for advice and sundry small bits that all vintage bike assemblies require. I hope to see you on the road soon!

Tom Adams, with (whew!) no more projects in KC.
