Explored! #299 [October 16, 2007] Thanks! Dismantled the bike over the weekend and took it to Assenmacher 's for a repaint last night. In another month it's gonna look new. I'm sure I'll post more pix at that time. Meantime, a few details: The frame was custom built by Matt Assenmacher in 1975 and has about 85,000 miles on it, 70K of them by 1986 when I finally bought a car. The Phil bottom bracket's been there since 1978. The crankset's a Stronglight 99; most of its parts date from 1975 but the left crank arm and small chainring are replacements. The bike was rebuilt with what eBay sellers call "New Old Stock" last spring, but I put the repaint off until winter because I wanted to get it on the road. Weather permitting, I'll still hit the road this fall, and maybe even winter. Just on a different bike.

Central Michigan shortstop Jordan Dean relays the ball to first in the sixth inning of yesterday's game between the Chips and the MSU Spartans at CMU's Theunissen Stadium (which is apparently pronounced like Tennyson). The second baseman is Pat MacKenzie, who initiated the play , the umpire's Mark Ditsworth, and that foot belongs to MSU's Ryan Jones, who was forced out but came in hard . The relay failed to catch MSU batter/runner Torsten Boss. Ugly game, though both starting pitchers did well; Michigan State won 11-1. Original photo here . 1,413 game photos here . I may have gotten carried away. The little camera did all right.
