JohnS: Thanks for the pics, nice looking Bolt there, love all the brown. How's the Swift? Or is that a Swallow? I need a brown saddle for my Hillborne and like the fit of the black Brooks Pro I have. Love the shop and the grainy photos! That's the stuuuuuff. Thanks for sharing.
George: Well that's a beautiful level you have there, are you sure you want to go through the trouble of sending it my way? Have you checked it for accuracy? Sometimes those old spirit levels can have problems with the vials and bubbles. I have a full set of Stabila levels so I am equipped though that old Stanley sure is handsome...
