12/3/14 - new way to update blog! As I stated in my kitchen blog, the main problem with this format is I can't see my previous postings.

What's new? A couple of days ago, 12/1/14, PT emailed me stating that he was going to look into the tire clearance issue and would get back to me. I informed him that after thinking about it further, I could live with clearance for 700x35-40 tires. We will see if he responds.

I also asked if he could send pictures of the lugs before he started brazing. That would be really nice. But, hey, if I get something back, I'm not going to complain!
