    The bikes look fantastic!!! I just restored an old beater myself, and it's quite an accomplishment to take something that once was unloved and turn it into something of beauty! I'm so proud of you!!! Enjoy the riding!

    Thanks, ladies. It feels really great to turn them into happy bikes again. My sis and I took a little ride on them this evening and they are working great, they really fly!

    The stand at my LBS is great because it would be a big investment in tools and having the LBS undo all of my 'work' to do this sort of thing otherwise. A little bit of beer goes along way in getting help from the LBS guys.

    It feels amazingly good to know that I put so much of the bikes together and yes the mechanic skills are going to help on my trip. That's part of why I wanted to do this now was to get prepared. I am so unbelievably excited.

    Sandra, I am going touring (solo & self-supported!) in Patagonia, from San Martin (Argentina) down the Carretera Austral to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. I leave in 25 days.
