Hey there Mr. Fiend, these are some of the long-promised Bleriot pictures.

Finally build it up to the point I could submit them for your approval! The bike is mostly Rivendell approved components. I did upgrade with some Honjo Hammertones. So much fun to install. I also found some NOS Shimano XT 7 speed thumb shifters w/ the 8 speed super-secret indent position. I liked these more than bar ends or Paul's Thumbies. It has the black Wald basket attachment in front which detracts from the appearance, but is useful. The last picture shows the Bleriot next to my Schwinn Racer. Nice comparison, no? I'll eventually put on a Burley Moose rack on the back for pulling the kid's Piccolo.

Thanks again for posting these. It's a great resource!
