> 20+ years ago.
I visited Richard Hallett in Albuquerque in Dec 2001. He had closed the World Championship shop and they were trying to clear out the inventory. He took me over to his workshop where the goodies were kept. I've seen the bikes he has listed, but remember only the Hetchins and the Stella. I mentioned both in my trip report when I came back from my trip, from archives: (http://search.bikelist.org/?SearchString=hallett%20albuquerque). He has had the Hetchins for over 10 years as I saw it hanging in his shop when I lived in New Mexico. The Stella has Columbus tubing. Richard wrote a very nice history of steel making in Eibar, Spain and Zeus in particular. He made frequent trips there as well. I believe he distributed Woodrup and Bertin frames, but I don't know about Zeus. I know he wanted to move away from Albuquerque, but I don't know the status of his move. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
