Subject: [CR]RE: BIKE BOOM

Though often mentioned as "THE BIKE BOOM" I remember a number of BOOMS . * 62/63 10speed lightweights hit the market big,I think you could still get an AUTOMOTO , HELYET or a suicide shifter CONTINENTAL *often mentioned 70s BOOM which saw the JAPANESE flood into the market *GAS CRUNCH BOOM where we sold the warehouse out to the walls with not a bike or basket left(even those giant WALD ones that LARRY could fit on one side and DALE the other) I will bet there was another back in the 50s,which is before my time.
