Hey folks.....

Let's get real. I fail to see how a 'price guide' could in any way benefit anyone who is involved in our eccentric little hobby (except for the big-volume sellers). Let the prices be dictated by whim, desire, and good old-fashioned market pressures. All a price 'guide' will do is allow a a select few to set prices that benefit them (no offense intended, to prospective guide publishers). The value of a thing is what it will bring on the open market- no more, no less. And, I remember buying a PX-10, my first new race bike.....I purchased it in 1972 at Mulrooney's in Paramount, CA, for $185, including a team hat, pump, water bottle & MAFAC tool kit- the good ol' days for sure!

Peace to all, Larry Myers, Portland, OR, US of A
