Gilbert mentions that the fabled Jack Lauterwasser, though retired, is still with us. I assume he is still in the U.K.? Do any of our CR folk on that side of the Atlantic know him? If he is still in good health, I would think a series of interviews with him could lead to interesting reading.
I know next to nothing about the gentleman, but it seems to me that he might be a source of a compelling oral history project. I'm just sorry I'm not in a position to seek him out - though if anyone knows of any cycling legends in South Carolina, do let me know.
Knowing about the people who built, sold or rode vintage cycles when they were new dramatically raises my appreciation of them. I suspect I'm not alone in that ...
