I knew the colour scheme etc, and eventually the frame surfaced in California. About a year or so later I saw jpgs of a red and black Nulli at Chuck's Velo in California, and with Chucks help found the owner. Turns out the frame was one in the same. I contacted the owner and eventually purchased the frame about a year later. The frame was the original prototype model of the Nulli that previewed in 1949 or 1950 at the London Show.

See Peter, that's what these Velo Rendezvous are all about... making people's dreams come true ;)

I expect you to make the trek west one of these years! That goes for the rest of you guys east of the West Coast that are hesitating (next October will make the fifth annual).
