First off - I was thinking about Mike Richardson when the award subject came up, too. I remember how his face lit up back in '99 when we were talking about vintage PX-10s. He was a lovely guy, and much missed.
Second - I wish I had the jack to go after that Holdsworth, I surely do. I'm still kicking myself for not aggressively pursuing the green Holdsworth Typhoon road/path frame that was on eBay earlier this year.
Third - Ken's new bike is a stunner. My only dealing with Mike Barry was purchasing an odd bike, but he was quite the lovely gent, too. Every Mariposa I have seen pix of has been beautiful ... so much that my sweetie is pondering getting one someday.
