A cage that requires and will not be able to mount without a one piece frame clamp??
This is the Detto shoe trip!...................So to those who has came up front for the shoes,......''Thanks!'' And this is the last call for the Detto shoe offer. Special list offer! Coppi $ 50.-, list will be $ 75.-. Superlights with wooden soles, $ 75.-, list will be $ 98.-. FULL RANGE OF SIZES AVAILABLE! Contact for details.
Notice! To the list member who was in need of Cinelli double grooved H-bar? Deal fell through because seller wanted to dump 3 or 4 hundred stems with the deal! And we were in no need of these dogs. Sorry Dale for this off topic call but my CP crashed and we lost everything from this period.
Steve!..............Thanks for the plug.
