Aldo and Gang- Bradley W. of American Cyclery in San Fran once had a bike by the name of "MIRELLA". Its headbadge was one of the most "impressive" I had ever seen. Regretfully it was sold before I was able to ask for a photo of it. Bear with me, as I will do my best to describe it. Basically it was a "photo-relief" of what looked like a portrait of a teenage girl or young woman from the shoulders up. Complete with a mid-60s boufante hair-do that would make Jackie-O proud. Milano fashion at its peak, or just plain wild campiness; I think it was a seemless blend of both! Just wish I could have gotten a picture of it. I wonder if any other list members are familiar with it. Cheers, Dave Anderson
