yeah I remember that, I was there and it was totally the wrong place for that. they should have had an auction at the Interbike Show in Las Vegas or something, that kinda stuff would have went for crazy money. Very few people go to the Copake Auction in hopes of finding some classic lightweight. They don't show up there because the auction house has no idea about that "new fanged stuff". Quickly looking through the 1997 catalog, the first one I pulled out, I found only 3 "lighweights"- an Alanex, NOS, $200, 6 day racer track bike $350, and a Sears lightweight $45. Last year there was a BSA equipped track bike, that had been mangled and fixed and a nice little assortment of 70s-80s leighweight headbadges. the swap, as I said before turns up stuff, like the Bivalent hubs I got, and the Paris roubaix gear system, that I am currently selling on ebay(bought a house, raising a little extra cushion money now). ralph philadelphia
