Hi Bruce:

Lee's Paramounts were right next to John and I. His asking prices were from $950 to $1400 IIRC. The nicest one IMO was the red (1972?) one with original paint, which sold for $850.

Looks like you missed all of the stuff John and I were selling - five framesets, two bikes, and a pile o' parts.... There were a few nuggets there at the show, it just took some digging to find them....

Did folks see the little custom 20" - wheeled mixte with Henry James frame fittings and trick parts at the Prana Cycles table? I spoke with the husband-and-wife team there. Some pretty nice stuff, I thought.

I came away with a very nice Ideale 90, some NOS Campy 151 road 'rings, an alloy S/A hub, and assorted other "bits and bobs." Got to meet several CR listmembers, and had a great time. Definitely more fun than last year.
