Marcus; I found those comments on Wool Jersey, erased them and took away the ability for others to leave comments for now. I believe that I know who left the comments, but I won't sink to the level of the person who sind their name as "me". That person is the only person who is blocked from sending me emails, but I won't reveal his or her name. This is my way of remaining a gentleman.

I've recieved quite a few nice comments from friends on the CR List about the Rotrax. It is a stunningly beautiful cycle. I've a few changes to make in time, but I was so thrilled to get the Rotrax back, I built it up quickly, and so I could post the photos on Wool Jersey. I had traded the frame last year to friend Keith Helon, who many met last year at Cirque, but since trading I'd regretted doing so. A few weeks ago Keith agreed to return the frame to me in another trade with the set of Campag/Dunlop wheels you see on the gallery shots.

I need to get back to a few who wrote me about the Rotrax. It was sold to me on Ebay as a Super Course, but Keith did the research and verified it to be a Service de Course as indicated in the Transfers on the top tube. Knowing it had been refinished, I wasn't sure what to make of the Service de Course transfer, and wasn't concerned about it. The photos on the Ebay auction page did not show those transfers. Both Peter Brown and Neill Currie sent over jpgs of their Super Course, and Peter wondered what the difference was between my frame and his as they appear to be identical. Neill wrote that the Super Course started production in 1951. If correct it means the Service de Course was produced through 1950/51 and was replaced by the Super Course. I need to look closer to check for minor differences.

Best regards, Peter Naiman Glendale, WI

Just finished my 1950 Rotrax Service de Course and posted some jpgs on the Wool Jersey Gallery if anyone wants to check out this lovely cycle. The URL to the gallery page is below. If you double click on each photo you can enlarge each photo to screen size and more.

I went to the page, and was really dismayed to find a series of rude comments from someone who signed his/her name "me." Not only rude, but in some cases ignorant. I hope the comments did not come from a CR member. I wonder if it is possible to erase them.
