These sound interesting and on topic.
I'm forwarding a post from the BOB list. (see below)

================================= I showed up at Bikes not Bombs this morning to help teach the vocational ed class and found BNB founder Carl Kurz very excited to show me some bikes. Someone had donated 5 Romic bikes all 60x60 531 frames, but of differing styles. Tour tourers and three sport/tourers.
I know nothing about Romics but they looked like nice 1980's era bikes.
Most have 80's era Campy shifters, mechs and cranks. Two have very weird drilled out crank arms (.25-.5" holes) all have Phil and/or Hi E sealed hubs. Weird spoking on one. One has a neat-o brushed chrome finish. Two have Campy cantilevers. Neat stuff.
Very eclectic. With high coolio factors. Carl doesn't really know what to do with them, other than try to get me to buy them. Boston area BOBs should stop by and take a look. Please don't call and pick their brains over the phone. They are too busy to have to put up with that. Go in and take a look and make an offer. It'll be a fun trip.
