I noticed that the attendees are 48% Italian, 31% American, 14% Swiss, 3% Engish, 3% Japanese, 0% FRENCH, 0% German, 0% Austrian, 0% Mexican. I am considering showing up in protest. This is not representative of the makeup of the population which fits the CR timeline. I may have to show up with a Rickert, Peugeot, Jackson, Witcomb and Hobbs, just to get better representation. I suggest others should show up and protest the Italian - American - Swiss hegemony. Brian Blum in protest from Berkeley the city of diversity (we still have french fries)

Well here's what I (and some other list members) are puzzled by...

So far there is only one Masi listed out of the 43 bikes (Brian's is a replica so we're not counting that;) That would make Masi under 3% of the bikes to be shown. Maybe a "reality check" to all those that say the CR list and its members are only interested in Masi???
