George did not medal in Canada, he was sixth.
The "Clapton Cinelli" bike offered on EBay has no chrome and decals than look like aftermarket cheapies. The bike with Eric in the photo has more authentic looking decals. Looks like an inaccurate refinish to me. We see no evidence of a link to Eric except the stem. If the bike's condition is excellent, we can't really tell from the poor photos. I doubt the bike will get any bids as it's start price seems too high.

In light of our recent discussions involving a pro bike belonging to an American racer "medaling" in Canada, what might you think of this bike Jim?, Apologies that I don't have your direct email address. Cheers, Dave Anderson CuBa NoMo <Cut Bank Northern Montana>
