Ah you'd want the 'Lightweight' to impress them.Do you think they'd put an ickle 'gravel' decal on it so I wouldn't be laughed at by hipsters?

Saxon?Awe, c'mon. Those hoods match the tires perfectly. That bike is gorgegeous. And I bet it rides like the wind......
It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

Christopher Cross had the original, wrote it on LSD. It was originally dedicated to Lowell George.

Big Little Feat fan here & knew of the song dedication to a greatly missed & brilliantly eclectic songwriter, singer and guitarist.

Yes. Chris Cross. I didn't know the origins of the tune though. I can share this cover of the tune however. I prefer the Zappa rendition. Better guitar solo, harding driving and harder hitting, better drums. I even like the drum roady better.

Thanks for sharing the Zappa cover - I wasn't aware of it. There's a three way connection as Lowell George played in Zappa's band.

Ah. A DiMeola fan. Which means you like Steve Gadd as well? And maybe Return to Forever?

Enjoyed this post at Rene Herse, showcasing three handbuilt steel bikes from the Enve Builders roundup: https://www.renehersecycles.com/beautiful-bikes-at-the-enve-builders-roundup/
Prova, Strong and Scarab featured as some of the favourites...
The idea of road geometry with clearances for 55mm tyres sounds all ok
Nice and elegant frames. It's a shame the paint job is as tacky as it gets.

Nah but his clone plays well on the outro, shame it was so expensive to fly him in.
As for Al 'Black Cat Shuffle' ain't a bad tune.
