If it's designed and built in 1983 or before it's in! Cinelli pedals and walking under tall Eucalyptus trees might be widowmakers but that's a personal choice. There were many unsuccessful things made that didn't stand the test of time and are uncommon today. If some CR member has an item like that, he/her can display it or use it for all to see and appreciate or deride (couldn't resist ). Who the hell cares? Have fun, enjoy, kibbitz, marvel, that's what it's all about. Ted Ernst Palos Verdes Estates, CA
