check out my other albums too!! also, last week i ebayed this auction item, number: 1987321990

i was Mr. Behringer's first and largest (!) client for his then-legendary investment cast fork crowns. i have some dated correspondence here that speaks to his collaboration with Mr. Morroni re the ti frames and forks. no sleeping guns-just personal letters. the fork ends are pinned, and the pn is visible from the 'underside' of the fork. i traded some rare vintage stuff for some other rare vintage stuff. trading ruuuules. e-RICHIE...............And the Gang!!!!!!!!!!! chester, ct
