> I have the sad news that Chris died of cancer on Monday. Chris had been

ago.
> Chris' wife April plans a small memorial service in 3 weeks.

> Chris was a long time contributor to the list, with a particular interest
in
> English frames, interesting components and artistic lugwork. If you look
> back, he made hundreds of posts, although they tapered off since last
> September. Collecting bicycles gave him joy right up to the end, as he had
> only recently received Curt Goodrich # 2. He even made plans to get to the
> Cirque this year, but was unable.

> I first called Chris out of the blue around 1999 just wishing to talk
about
> his posts. Those who knew Chris know that words don't describe what a
great

consultations

1991
> and just stopping by for a beer and talk. I, for one, will really miss
him.
