A lousy iPhone picture, but proof of road worthiness.  Have to admit to being somewhat apprehensive - what if Reynolds 725 doesn't ride as nicely as my 30 yr old 531 Mercian?  Shouldn't have been concerned.  What an outstanding bike!  Stiffer but still plenty of liveliness.  A real looker too!  I am very happy with my new bike - now christened M2 to differentiate from its grandfather now known as M1.
Thanks for everything, and I will be touch later this winter to schedule a long overdue respray for M1.
