Pretty nice actually. A few coding anomalies (see below), but most
of them are just iCab being picky. Watch out for tag nesting - you
have a few closing tags without opening ones.

I'd also take out the frames and any mention of 'click here' (except
possibly in image alt attributes) - you don't need either.

I'd also make the subtitles (eg "Looking for Leather") links as
well as having them in the paragraph body.

I'd also be tempted to start losing the <font> tags and doing it
all through stylesheets. IE has had CSS font styling back to 3.01 
and Netscape has had it since V4 (3 years back nearly).

Anyone else want to join in a "are <font> tags deprecated?"
discussion?
