Ricky,

OK, I'll bite.

1) Wish I hadn't sold the Eisentraut "A" frame I bought in 1972 from the Missing Link Bike Shop. Not really fond of the Albert style of lug filing, but it rode well and would be a neat bike to have now.

2) Would like to have the 1971 Pogliaghi(sp?) track bike I had; 48cm that was an odd greenish color and came with factory blistering chrome on the fork crown; still would love to have that back.

3) Had an Italian Masi GC that I really didn't know that much about in 1973, but would like to have that in my stable now; mainly because it was black and the only bike I ever won a road race on in 1973.

4) Finally, would really like to have my original Wizard track bike back that I built for myself in 1974. One of only 5 Wizard track frames built and rarely ridden, since I didn't do too much track racing in those days. A friend/customer of mine owns in now and it's still 100% original and pristine. He bought it many years ago from someone at a bike swap who threw it in with a gitane tandem he bought, at the additional cost of $150. He didn't even know what it was until several years later. Now I can't pry it out of him for any amount of money or trades. RATS! Sold the bike originally to pay for my first Campag. tool kit.

Sorry I couldn't hold it to one. Too bad I didn't know then what I know now. Probably the same for all of us. Time for Monday Night Football, see YA!

Brian Baylis Luckily I'm not a football fan, otherwise I'd be really upset with the 1-14 Chargers. No doubt by next Sunday that will be 1-15! Almost a shame to spoil a "perfect" record with that stupid win (by one point no less!).
