additional info for the Fat canon

Saw this over at Velocipede Salon from Gary Smith, current most-significant owner at IF. No doubt some of the tone is driven by recent experiences from IF's move to NH but interesting nonetheless. And some of it new-to-me.

Nice post, insightful.

I own 8 Somerville's and 1 Saratoga.

The 99 Saratoga Yo is one of the finest riding, cleanest built, best painted bikes i own. I think the product constantly improved every year, in my non scientific look at the bikes I have 1987 thru 99. The older bikes have the lore...but I love that 99. It just feels right.

Everything changes, everything ends - sooner or later. I feel grateful to have had the chance to ride a lot of their products - and more grateful to have a forum like this to learn and share with others their passion for FC.
