Hi, John,
The USSR elite riders were on Colnagos for as long as I can remember, leading me to conclude that the various Soviet five year plans didn't include high performance bicycles. There was a pretty respectable Czech racing frame, built using Italian castings, and eastern bloc tubing, if I recall correctly. I can't dredge its name out of my dimming memory. Someone on the list will remember it.
Nice ride yesterday, nice change of pace and scenery. Gotta do it more often.
Cheers,
