Hey, Richie, how about issuing a Richard Sachs Special Memorial Edition frameset? Give yourself the aura of lengend status without actually being dead. Hey "Memorial" could mean a lot of things, right? Gloss black would be nice, with a little wreath surrounding the words "Richard Sachs 19?? - 2001". You could put "so far" in print too small to read. This is probably the only way list members can cash in big time on their Sachs frames, as your obstinate insistance on staying in shape means you'll in reality probably outlive most of us. If the ruse is discovered, you could still capitalize on it with a Richard Sachs Special Resurrection Edition frameset.
Regards,
