Apologies for not including my name and location to my last post. And thanks to Chuck Schmidt for correcting me on my ABC's Wild World of Sports reference. It was Pierre Salinger, the great bike racing correspondent who was responsible for that.

All this talk of Ocana and the Speedwell titanium bike reminded me of an old soft cover book I'd acquired, "1973 Tour de France" by David Saunders.
