BC you forget you've been sending me a lot of photos of your warehouse etc. so I'm very aware of the mass quantities of Campagnolo NOS stuff. Very nice.

Mainly academic for me because I got all my 70s stuff, Confente, Bianchi team bikes, Peugeot team bikes when the stuff was current so I'm still pretty "full." Then I moved on to 40s, 50s, and 60s bikes, Italian, English, French.

At this point I'm concentrating on the really nice stuff that ain't over there in Europe: 70s American builder's frames, mainly Callifornian like the theme of this year's Velo Rendezvous. Check out the 1975 Peter Johnson with drillium on my web site http://www.velo-retro.com for the _perfect_ example of a bike that surpases anything made in Europe in 1975. I'll bring that and a couple of Wizards that Brian Baylis and Mike Howard made during the same period that are real eye openers too.

You'll do just fine worldwide sellling all the 70s and 80s stuff; you and Cecil's hard work will pay dividens in the future no question about it.

Catch you when you arrive in Santa Barbara next year. I'll be there with bells on...
