Andrew!
in Adelaide at the moment we are playing host to the international
pushbike race, The Tour Downunder.
These riders will be competing in our typical Summer weather.
Estimated max. today is 41 Deg C.
Work on my '65 SP310 has slowed down a little:(
I now have all the brake & clutch components fully reconditioned with
stainless liners to all cylinders and the master cylinders. New
flexible lines were also made up. Wasn't cheap but now these items can
be re-kitted with replacement seals with no corrosion worries. I need
to make up new bridging hoses for the twin wheel cylinders on the
front brakes and a new pipe from the diff junction block to the LHS
rear wheel cylinder. These were all trashed when I dismantled.
Pics have been added to my album at:-

Anyhoo take care in the cold.

Hey All,
Currently, I am in Milford, CT. on business and the cold is
unbelievable.
This morning when I left my hotel room to go to the job site I could
actually feel my lungs starting to freeze. With wind chill, the
temperature
was -15. Unbelievably cold.
Being a stupid California I made a serious mistake. As I was walking
to my
car I hear this crackling sound coming from the top of my head. I
reached up
to feel around and broke a big chunk of my hair off. I always leave my
house
in California with wet hair. Not a great idea in Connecticut in
winter.
Stupid me.
When I get back to California I am going to kiss the ground. If I
tried that
here, I'd be stuck to the earth.
Live and learn,
Andrew Murphy
