Ok, the indoctrination is complete and I'm starting to think Alex Singer's are at least as interesting as Rene Herse's. The Paris show pics were the last straw added to make the flames of desire burn from "want" to "need." A touring Singer is now on the "must have" list, maybe I'll have to get Mitzi one as her Ph.D. graduation present. So here are a few questions for the Singer scholars: What are those lugs they use? I've seen them on Herse's too, they have such a nice fluid look. How much would a new custom Singer cost? Why don't they build tandems any more? enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB, CA

PS: If you search on Google for -Levallois Alex Singer- you'll also get Screamin' Jay Hawkins' bio. Just one more reason to like Singer bikes. --
