Watching this thing unfold about these bikes, well for starters the Pog looks to have bent seat stays! That's strike # 1.........No front wheel, 2nd strike!..............Seller fishing for a better price, 3rd strike! 3 strikes and your out!..............Geeze! 4 BILLS PLUS, NOW!..........I need a front wheel ( period correct! ) that is with a ( Period correct tire! ) OK there goes a few hundred more $$$ Off to the shop for paint, if Cyclarts or simular. Maybe a grand, shipping cost of getting it to here and there, bang a couple more Franklins out of the pocket...................When all said and done a ''TON! '' of $$$$$$$$$$$$. Yeh!.......It's a hobby thing, right.

Anyway I'll be staying away from these ebay bikes as like many others....There's lots and lots of good track bikes and framesets just waiting to be had!.........This vintage no!.........But are period correct for this list, Razesa, Miyata, Denti, Mecier, Riggi and so on. Hows about a bronze medal winner...................RIGGI!...............Now how many of us has ever seen a RIGGI tracke bike!..........When the time is right along with the funds in the pocket we'll be going after some of these bikes and frames...................Just part of the job!

BC Baron C...................And the gang!! Renaissance cycles, Eindhoven Holland........................Soon to be Santa Barbara, dump the jackets and on with the shorts............Later!
