Dear Andy:

Tom ?Avenia moved his shop up to Haverstraw, NY in the early 1980's. There is still a bike shop up there with his name, on Route 9W, that I saw two years ago while riding. I don't know if he is still alive; he would be quite old. I remember talking with him about his method of afixing tubular tires to rims...he used double-sided electrician's tape! He claimed he never rolled a tire with this method. I never tried this...life is too short!
