Hi Mark,

Here is a pic of the finished product.  Actually, didn't get the hoods yet, so will swap those out this week,...but we did get out on it's maiden voyage on Sat. and it is truly a world apart from our old Bilenky.  I mean it is unbelievably smooth. Although I am not familiar with carbon frames,..it seems to absorb road shock like carbon might,...incredibly damp feeling.  It also is really stable, especially in a straight line,..easy to ride with no hands,
although that does tend to draw gentle pats on the back.  It does not feel as responsive, or quick, when it comes to handling, but then, we are not looking for a crit. bike.  We rode several short steep climbs, and here it is really amazing. Of course some of that comes from a 15 lb. weight difference,..still,..when we were out of the saddle, it is truly responsive, and I don't feel any whip down low.
Really cool!!

Here's a pic of the finished bike.

THANKS for your help with this,...turned out better than I'd hoped!
