This thread got me thinking about Mark Mattei of CycleSmithy on Clark Street in Chicago. While Mark doesn't participate on this list (perhaps he's a lurker) he has an extensive bike collection. I just now found that many of his bikes are pictured on his shop's web site. While most of them would be of no interest to this group there are some tantalizing glimpses in some of the pictures. I was particularly taken by the bottom picture on page three, and the Cinelli(?) track tandem hanging on the wall. Check out:
