 Very nice! Looks like you have a sweet place to work on your bikes,
also. I can imagine you in there late nights, with the garage door down,
...snippage... I'll bet you can relate.

I'm usually done in the workshop by 10, but sometimes I'm so keyed up
that I can't sleep. Yes I think we share this peculiar affliction.

 Looks like you found the Big Texan, as well. Did you try the 72oz steak?

Wouldn't dare! I don't know how anyone could eat all that beef.
Interesting/curious place.


 I am surprised by the difference in height of the Ambo heads, compared
to my Eldo, unless the camera angle set up an illusion. Looks to be
significantly taller on your Ambo.

I don't think they're much if any different. I have an Eldo too and
haven't noticed any big difference.

 The one thing I am really not looking forward to is wiring.

It's not that bad actually. I had re-wired the Eldo at the same time
the Ambo re-build was going on, and I think it took a weekend and a day
or two to just about completely re-do it.

==> British Wiring (they have a web site) is a good resource for getting
heat shrink tubing, protective sheathing and the like.

 Anyway, your bike is beautiful and I hope you have many miles of riding
pleasure.

Thanks, and good luck with your project, too.
