Group-- My son-in-law, Chris Hughes, was the drummer for a group called "Adam Ant" or something (If it's not Beethoven,I don't understand it). -- He grew up riding a Freddie Grubb Path racer with a fixed gear. I am currently fixing it up for him with an ASC hub to help his aging body adapt. His father had a Hetchins. His buddy Peter Gabriel has a vintage machine in his studio that he has invited me to look at, but I have never made it over to see it.. don't know if these guys are in the celeb. catagory or not... :-) Nelson Miller-- Seattle

i suppose he's not exactly rock star material or in any glossies but neither is the pope who has been known to be fond of throwing a leg over.
