If this site represents the monied end of the road bike collectors, then based on his press, Confente-anything is a pretty marketable commodity. We always want to identify heroes or people with god-like qualities. Dying young never hurt a demi-god's celebrity.

Ahhh... a new list! Who do we nominate for still-living demigods?

Brian Baylis and Richie Sachs are obvious choices. Any others with "god-like" qualities?
