The bike I wanted is sitting in my garage!
I thought you did an excellent job on that bike. It runs and rides very well from your video, and you had to deal with the weather, and most likely a job.
There is no doubt in my mind that you will ride and enjoy your Gilson more than I will ride mine.
Although the rules stated these could be bikes already started, you were one of two finishers out of a field of 14, who did a complete restoration within the time frame.
Again, excellent job in overcoming your time constraints and building an excellent machine, and most of all, for being big about it. I will add that you have been a solid contributor to this forum over the years, and definitely one of the guys whose posts always contain helpful, legitimate, information.
