Wall cloud near Interstate 39, dropped dime-sized hail, but thankfully, no tornado.

Uncommon touring bike, a Schwinn Passage from the mid-1980's, made but one year and a bit. Columbus Tenax steel. Heavily modified and modernized, but still with bar-end friction shifters. Joytech Hubs, Alex rims, and low gearing added as well. I bought this as a frame and built up from there.

I had no idea Schwinn had used Columbus tubing: the following page states 'Tenax, used exclusively by Schwinn, is Columbus's production-grade version of it's SL and SP professional series.'

Yes. Prelude, Premis, Passage and Voyageur, as well as a couple of others, I believe the Tempo as well. The Traveler and a couple of others were True Temper in the mid 80's as well. They were trying to compete with more elite bicycle brands. Trek was building frames from 531 at this time. I have a Bianchi from that era, I should make a comparison of the frame riding qualities. I forget what Columbus steel the Bianchi was made of.

just noticed this visitor to the garden, and as I was born in a city,it’s fantastic to see wildlife closeup. This taken through the patio doors, at ISO 1000.

Are you quite sure about dat? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errigal#Naming
(looks gorgeous BTW - I've only been to the south, there's clearly a lot to see in the north too!)
That's what it was called when I was at school although some seem to take offence to it nowadays.
There is a lot to see in the north and you'll mostly have it to yourself while all the Americans go the Kerry and Galway.
