Hi list-

Sorry if this is a repeat, but CyclingNews has a video of the Colnago mus eum, hosted by Ernesto himself. In Italian, but with English subtitles. Mostly modern, but some steel, and Colnago's Gloria. Here's the link:

Now a question if I may. All the recent Gazelle posts caused me to pull ou t my old Raleigh frame. A lower tier Grand Prix with 2030 tubing. The bit t hat interested me was the decal that states:

Manufactured under licence by Gazelle Ruwielfabriek Holland Raleigh Company

Were these subbed out for cost saving measures, pre Japanese? Low grade f rames only? I'm not a Raleigh expert, but I don't recall these being disc ussed in the past.

Nice ride today on my Hansom Super Prestige,
