Richard, was the bike made for Dixon's of Athens, GA? The last time I was in there, before they moved to their current location, there was one of your frames, sans fork (sigh) hanging on the wall ... never did have the courage to ask Gene how much he wanted for it ... a 57cm with a multi-colored fade that included green, white and red as I recall ...

Vintage trivia - the shop is Athens is run by the son of the guy who sold me bunches of cycling stuff in Roanoke, VA back in the mid-70s.
