Subject: [CR]Raysport has arrived

Greg Parker of Bicycle Classics has diligently been shipping out these frames and mine arrived today. It was great fun to unwrap a brand new frame and the frame was a pleasant surprise. It is very workmanlike and nothing like a Windsor, for example. Not that the chrome lugs don't show file marks, but that goes with chrome. The fork is very robust with the Cinelli crown and large reinforcement tangs. The BB miter was short of great but very adequite. The rear vertical drops are cut down nicely and reinforced to make them thicker (Campy vertical dropouts are quite thin). To my eye the alignment looks excellent and there are no signs of any overheated tubes or cold setting of the stays.

Basically, you cannot go wrong with these at the price Greg is offering them.
