Hey Dale!
As we speak, I'm looking for your box of goodies, they have been stored away somewhere?? It's a mess, we're making ready for the move so we're closing down one half of the warehouse. Meaning everything is ending up in the availabe space of the other half.
So you got Flandria SL frameset stashed.................Tough to get Dura Ace hubsets! Well guess what I know where the last of the Flandria stocks are hidden away! And I'll be scoring all of the old Fladria wheelsets sometime soon...............And yes! Many are with early Dura Ace hubsets, LF AND HF!...At a buying price of $ 7.- per set on the wheel sets...we...can't...go...wrong! SORRY GUYS, LIST MEMBERS! These wheel sets will become items for our project bikes.
It was great and sad hearing broken down trailers on the side of the roadways heading back to Holland!.........The machinery was just to heavy for these trailers. One guy said it reminded him of the time during the WAR when there was blown up tanks and trucks littering the roadways.
BC..............And the gang!!................Getting back to catching up on a lot of looooooooooooose ends. Baron C. Renaissance cycles Eindhoven Holland.......................Soon to be Santa Barbara California.
