Oh, that the Jack Taylor on Ebay would fit my gangling legs. (btw: I would always welcome an alert for anything classic 66 cm or larger.) I missed a JT that big and I have been kicking myself ( and with a 39" inseam, that can be quite a kick). Alas, I digress. I just listed some more items from my pile, this time mostly books. Of interest to y'all hereabouts might be the Proteus framebuilding books, and Richard Talbot's Framebuilding manual. A set of Schwinn manuals, and more no doubt. It took me all day to get these written up, since I had to paw through them one last time. A few books were given a reprieve from the auction block, I just can't bear to let go of Chas Messenger's Conquer the World, for example. Here's a brief list, since I haven't been:
1. SCHWINN Bicycle Service Manuals Vol's 1&2 (1969-72) 2. GUIDE TO BICYCLES AND BICYCLING, Fred DeLong, 1974 first ed. 3. DESIGNING & BUILDING YOUR OWN FRAMESET, Richard Talbot, 1980, 1st ed. 4. THE PROTEUS FRAMEBUILDING HANDBOOK, 1976 5. THE PROTEUS FRAMEBUILDING BOOK, 1975, 1st ed. 6. ZEUS Catalogo 102, (in Spanish) the 1973 big one. 7. '83 THE DATA BOOK (French? Japanese? Hybrid?) 8. SPECIALIZED BICYCLE Catalog, 1991 9. LES MAILLOTS Bicycle Racing magazine Vol 1, issue #1 10. GIRO d'ITALIA CALENDAR 1991 11. SHIMAN0 CALENDAR, 1978 "Shimano Racers" 12. INSIDE CYCLING Magazine, vol 1. issue 1. 13. WINNING MAGAZINE Special Greg LeMond/86 TdF issue 14. WINNING MAGAZINE Special collection, vol 1. #1 and bonuses 15. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 1986 COLORADO PROGRAM
My seller name on Ebay, cleverly disguised as RBulis.
I'll be getting back to the hardgoods when my shop remodel is complete. It's coming along nicely, maybe I'll post pictures of my dream bike-workspace.
Thanks for looking,
Richard Bulis, Verdi Nevada.
