Hi All!
Swamped is the word!.....................But then there also has been the computer problems that just seems not to want to go away! Just to show you how wacky things are over here and it happened about 2 weeks ago! I posted to the list 4 times in one day of which they should have been received within our CR folder! Well we were receiving replys to these post, BUT HEY!..These postings were not received on our end? OK!...........So where in the hell are they?? Only the last of the 4 postings was received. Also, too many of my reply to customers are not making it through!.......Coming back at me like tennis balls! Just out right nuts!!...And the loooooooong hours are POO!......POO! But nice to know that we can make a very good living by selling old bike parts.
OK! Heading home from a buy and the freeways are plugged up! Hey! Lets check out this shop that old man Bill told us about!........Walked in and out with a Batch of tubular rims and a few other very nice goodies................Earlier that day!..............Went for a drive ( BUY! ) Grabbed what I needed................And ''HEY!'' lets check these boxes out! Been walking by them for the last 18 years!......HEY! What's this? ''ATOM!'' 13-21 English threaded 5 speed freewheels and 5 speed 14-24 Maillard freewheels!.............OK!...........I'M GAME! Stick my hand into the magic box of toe straps!........COOL!.............Blue Alfredo Bindas,........OUCH! Here comes a few sets of PATURAUD! These will be going to ebay, recovery of our investments of the day.
High demand!.........No kidding!.......I sure as hell would love for someone from somewhere to join in on some of the fun. Because it's needed, but I won't sell ourselve short by revealing some of our sulppliers...............Maybe Roland of France, he was our in to the Zeus stocks. I told him ''HEY THERE'S LOTS OF ROOM FOR ANOTHER EUROPEAN PLAYER!'' But he tells me ''NO!'' this is your back yard and I don't want to interfer. But I think he will be trying to come on sometime in the near future.
So, ''WHY ALL OF THE MOVES ON EBAY!''......BUY A LOT FOR A GOOD PRICE, sell some off to recover our investment..then hang on for the ride! MAN!..I hate roller coasters!
OK!.................We have contacted every body that was interested in the Mafac brakesets! But if you did not receive our notice and are still in need!>.........Let me know!...........I know there are a few of you still in need................So give us a jingle!
Sorry for the long post.........But that's me!........Get in when I can and out when we have to.

John- You are not alone. Emails to BC do seem to get lost in the shuffle. But Hang in there. They are really swamped due to high demand. Cheers, Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT

I've been trying to buy a couple of sets of their NOS Mafac Racers so I have a life-time supply of spares for my PX10E. We agreed on price and shipping charges via email. I just now sent (for the third time) my encoded credit card number. I haven't received a response to attempts one or two. Perhaps three time's a charm.
