Yes, those of us in Colorado (such as pal Rod) need a good Winter project to keep us from going stir crazy. (Thankfully we do have many sunny days - albiet COLD - here in the Denver area so riding year round is not totally out of the question).
Mine is pretty much only on topic in that it uses a CR era French wheelsize - 605B, now being revitalized by Rivendell (among others). I'll be building up a Saluki 650B once the frameset is delivered this Winter.
Maybe next Winter I can say I'm working on a vintage Rene Herse (yeah, right).
