andy - so great you got your bike back. i would be over the moon if my stolen powerlite showed up.
footy was awesome yesterday. such an exciting match. i am watching my ducks winning a home game right now but after the footy yesterday, it just isn't as interesting. i love football but american football moves so slowly compared to aussie rules.
hope everyone is having a good sunday morning

Yeah was a great match. I really thought the Saints had them - but they were just too wasteful in their forward 50 all day and Geelong made them pay for that in the final quarter. Totally understand what you mean about US football. I used to follow it pretty closely. You are actually better off watching a replay with all the delays with team changes and delays in between plays etc taken out!
October is often pretty windy in Tassie and today is getting warmed up for that.
Hey Mick - that dust gone from Brissy yet?

Went to a local shop to try and get a replacement barrel adjuster and they had one of the S&M Holmes reissues hanging on the wall. It looked very nice and appeared to have decent chrome as well. We talking to one of the guys and he pulled another S&M frame out for me to have a look at. It's a limited edition S&M LTF Tiki. Only 50 made (Hawaii being the 50th state) and the tiki mouth doubles as a bottle opener.

That is a cool looking frame James. Gonna be bringing her home?
Jarvi
Sep 26 2009, 05:33 PM
Was tempting Kurt however I'm already a kilo and a bit overweight with luggage. Could always post it home I guess. Actually if anyone is interested I might be able to help out. Either than one or the Holmes reissue which was about USD400 I think.

Hey Thats a cool frame James. I like the look of that. Good price too.

There was also a parade on today so my weekly photos aren't of the beach this time.



It was interesting to observe the crowds when the service men and woman marched by. Lots of applause and appreciation. Many of the US people might not agree with why they to war, however, they fully support those who put their lives on the line.

Just about to commence my other patterson build, picked this up from the States a month or so ago, has been rechromed along with forks and single pinch's, looking really good at the moment but i have a slight dilema.............also have a set of star bars that are in great nic and i am in two minds about getting them rechromed (sending a set of raw JC DY bars and a JMC Frame/Fork to the chromers shortly) so would you throw the star bars in?
The bike will be ridden and probably raced, i know a lot of peeps love og chrome, but thought i would throw it out for comment............
Decal arrived today, put it on the og chrome or wait for a rechrome?
Whadda ya think?

Mick, what's going on with your Facebook status? It's not like you.
I never get tired of looking at Pattersons. There are a few of them over here it seems.
Was doing some work for a new site (yes I am working a bit) and came across this one. Particularly relevant given my current situation.

I think OG...about 3 years ago, I was all about as bright and sparkly as I could make it...but I've changed direction, not that I like scrappy, I just dig a nice original finish or NOS. Your Bars look way too nice for re-chrome...
