Well Dave, it is after all the season of miracles and goodwill. Plus our group list even has its own elf in El Cajon with a heart of gold.

Great story

> Several people have written me either offering bikes or their sincere condolences for my Fed-Ex-Ground trashed frame. In less than a week, Chuck Johnston in Colorado located a replacement mid-80's frame from list-member John Morrison in California who didn't even want to sell it in the first place. Brian Baylis has it in his shop (candy store?) presently. We'll have the whole deal consumated before Fed-Ex even acknowledges that there's a claim in the works.
