No Matty, it took me too long to talk you into selling it to me. But I will be willing to grant visitation rights. I only wished that I lived a bit closer to take advantage of that SOCAL weather and the upcoming Colnago ride.

BTW, didn't Cunningham from Cyclart bring a lime green Master Equilateral to VR5?

My 3rd Master EQ ended up with Mike Schmidt....Hey Mikey.wanna sell it back? ;^)
