Thanks Lisa--he even showed me a couple of Rivendells (am I correct that you're a Rivendell owner or am I matching to another name?).

rij...looks like about 6 weeks for the frame. I guess that means around Christmas time or a little later for the full bike...won't be able to get it on the road, though, until April/May when the salt comes off the roads. But, I figure looking at the beauty (and she will be beautiful, of course ) will be my incentive to keep up the riding through the winter--after all, I wouldn't want to let her down on her first ride!
