some nice wall hangings, but isn't a heavily retro shop. If you have a free
day on a weekend, Via Cyclery in Philly is a Mecca, multiple floors of neat
stuff, and about a 90 minute drive. But for high octane CR stuff, Steve
Willis's Bike Stand in Scotch Plains NJ is great. Steve has several neat
machines on the premises, as well as one of the most extensive stocks of
small parts I've seen. There's a regular Friday Nite wine probe at the
shop, with several list members usually in attendance.

meeting in Manhattan, put on by Omnipotent but Benevolent Despot, John
Pergolizzi. Always a good time, and retro rich. Let me know if you want to
go, I'll see about a pink ticket to go up with you. We owe John a RSVP,
though, if we're coming.

any way. Stop by the office and we'll get some lunch, and you can inspect
my modest collection. And if can ride 62 cm, I'll be happy to loan you a
bike for your month here. Bring you're winter riding duds and I'll be happy
to show you around.
