But do understand the business case for doing it. Maybe just build some "Dave Kirks" with Serotta BB shells and Campy drop outs, and the other stuff you mentioned to make them fancy. Made in Montana by Dave Kirk.
Hey Ralph -

I hear you.

If I do it it would be for two reasons - the first being that, like Parris said here, to pay homage to the time, the place and most of all the people that helped me get my start. Secondly it would be really fun to build a few of these again. I built hundreds of them back in the day and miss using some of the more obscure skills needed to build them.

So in a way it would be a selfish exercise...........but if someone wanted one I think the two of us could both have fun with the project.

Thanks for your thoughts and input.

dave
