Hey Aldo, what's with the "Jim" all of a sudden? We won't know which to call you. Speaking of GB bars, I found a source of NOS GB "randonneur" bars, but no road bends. Do any significant number of randonneurs actually use the randonneur bend these days? Also, the CR website states that GB "did not survive into the 70's". Yet I think I remember GB stems on Raleighs well into the 70's, maybe even the early 80's. Did Gerry Burgess perhaps sell the name to a company that continued to produce bars and stems? Might these even still be in production today?

Regards,

Jerry Moos in chilly overcast Warren, PA, but good enough to commute this morning.
