"Pat Clark sort of disappeared from the scene a few years ago leaving everyone wondering what had happened. What had happened was he got himself in deep financial doo-doo that he couldn't climb out of, and rather than doing the usual bankruptcy routine, he just took all his remaining marbles and split for parts unknown, leaving his partners and the banks to sort out the mess, and leaving a few suppliers and customers in the lurch." One of those customers was a friend of mine, J.D. Edwards, who competed for a spot on the 1980 Olympic Team, along with Greg Lemond, but that never went to Moscow. He sent his beloved Pinarello to CK for refinish. One day he got a call from a friend in Colorado who said some 'nut' from CK was selling bike frames for peanuts out of the back of a truck at a downtown intersection and that perhaps J.D. should assure his frame was safe. Not so. In the process, in a search of the premises, a friend of his on the scene in Colorado found a frame in the right size, stripped to bare metal, that had what looked like a P engraved on the seatstay cap. Turned out to be a Miyata Pro with the RRm engraved on the cap instead, for I presume, road racing Miyata. I still have that Miyata & it is a jewel. My daughter painted the cutouts for me. And this story always gets told when people ask me why I kept it. Lou Deeter, Huntsville AL
