Greetings from the finally sunny NW,

Paid a visit to the LBS of the subject line. While they don't stand out as a bastion of classic steel, they nonetheless had some interesting bikes on display. Dave and Dave were both very gracious in sharing their time and allowing me to photograph the bikes of interest to us.

What caught my eye first was a Peugeot. Check out the derailleurs. I was told the bike was purchased in Paris and brought home. It has been updated with the gold Super LJ derailleurs and Dura Ace hubs. Tried to buy it and was politely refused.

The Raleigh Team bike came into their possession because Raleigh took it back on a warranty claim. They gave it to the shop and the shop fixed the broken frame.

The Andre Bertin track bike was the first bike sold by the shop and they were able to get it back on a trade.

Raleigh time trial frame is purported to be one from the 84 Olympics.

One bike I found very interesting was an Alan framed bike labeled ANZA. I was told it was purchased in Rota by a sailor and brought back to the states. I found no mention of ANZA bicycles on the web. Anyone have info?

Finally a Giubilato TT bike. Not sure if it is OT for this list, but I figure I supplied enough OT to amend for it.
