the 1970 masi gc on ebay is currently at 577.09 with four days left, item number 3639231688. i took two days off this week and rode my colnago up frankin canyon to mulholland and even though it was a balmy 75 degrees there were snow capped mountains clearly in view on mulholland; also i heard from a friend in houston that they got ten inches of rain a couple of days ago (i'm not trying to rub it in i'm just stating the facts.) tomorrow i'll take my raleigh carlton up to santa barbara for a 40 mile spin. i loved the reports from jan and brain on the sf veloswap meet. regards, burl simon in los angeles
