Morgan-- I don't agree with your "solution" to the problem. I too have had secret quarry outed and been annoyed, but thats part of the price of being in the club. More generally, I find myself looking at bikes that I never would have found (especially European ones) and even just last week, buying one. I would hate to lose the opportunity to view these finds because someone somewhere might be planning a bid. Best, Alan Bernstein( finally wonter as it should be in sunny NYC)
