Welcome Duane! 1)Could that novel be "The Yellow Jersey" by Ralph Hurne(ISBN:1-55821452-6) ? If so , got my last copy one year ago at "Velogear" 1-800-234-8356 in Boulder Co. If you haven't read it,do. IS EVERYONE LISTENING ? 2)Went to buy some Fasttac at the local auto supply a year ago and could only get "super weatherstrip adhesive" made by "Master" of Memphis ,Tenn.. Been using fasttac for over 20 years. We used it to mount up the tubs on a Schwinn Paramount track tandem. For downhill sprints!!! No differance between the two products for our use. Old part # superceeded by "part # 8". AKA gorilla snot.
