Ralph has attended a number of past Cirque du Cyclisme's including this past June's event in Virginia... Neat guy, I had a very enjoyable long talk with him this year. IIRC he lives in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia now...

Ralph Carnevale occasionally lists things as eBay seller "RJCarnvale". After "Carnevale's Bike Rack" on Beach Blvd, he moved and opened Bicycles Pacific, still in Huntington Bch. Ralph always helped this new rider/racer (me, who was always broke). Never to forget his great heart, I drove from L.A. to O.C. when he closed, to help him pack stuff up. OK, there were a lot of deals to be had as well. I should have bought that small, black Colnago though!?
A lot of Como Street riders hung out at Ralph's and he sold a lot of Masi, and later, Medici bikes. As Wizard was also in HB, and was the frame of choice, we all knew one another.
