Nah,
No cruelty implied.
Same idea, I'm just a few months ahead of you on collecting the parts this time. I know when I was putting together my prewar DX I spent a lot of time staring at your prewar thread, as it seemed you were always a few steps ahead of my Schwinn project. I am slower than you also. I have a hunch you will be smiling next to your completed cruiser build before mine is all gathered and together....
Cheers,
