The man from Pasadena forwarded a note to the list from Brett Horton where Eddy Merckx listed the builders of his bikes. I think that is pretty good info, much better than just a fancy. While I accept that we can argue until we're blue in the face, I can't think of anyone who would know better than the man himself. In the archives. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
