Someone mentioned that the CR site was down today. I was able to access it with no problem. I noticed the below advertisement for a 52cm Colnago on the For Sales part of the CR site. The seller is a friend of mine, John Mayfield, of Birmingham. John and I have done a number of deals both buying and selling to each other. He visited me several times when I lived in Alabama and I visited him when I visited my daughter at her college in Birmingham back in the late 90s. John is a Professor at Samford University, where my daughter went to school. I recall several people commenting that early 70s Colnagos were very special, but I don't know whether 1975 is within that period or after that period. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
