That bike is superb in every possible way.
I had a deposit with him for a long time, several years, and I too couldn't get my s&*! together on timing and so forth for the build. It was to be a dream build, something I'd wanted for years but just never got around to it. When we first spoke it was during a very tough period (loss of a parent).
Had a bunch of fun conversations with Roland during that interim time though. So many good stories, shared acquaintances, and I just loved hearing his passion for the sport. He always laughed when I asked, "How about just build me a 54 square and I'll figure out the rest," telling me to get my act together and fill out his form.
When hearing he had passed, it was a gut punch.
He was an absolute treasure.
Ride in good spirits!
