>We are talking about the correct David Tesch. Dave worked at Trek in the very late 70's or early 80's. He came to San Marcos in about 1981 I think. He was building his own frames by about 1983 or '84. Dave went into the Navy very young; I think no later than age 18 if I'm not mistaken. Dave was about 6 or 7 years younger than I, and I'm 50. It all works out.

I know Pergolizzi has the Goodrich that was built for Chris Beyer that I painted. I have the Tesch tandem and an interesting collaboration Tesch S-22 track bike that Dave and I built together. I'm hoping maybe I can somehow get the 1964 Masi Special that belonged to Dave Staub for the occassion. I think that would be a super tribute to our dear friends.
