<< Listmember J.D. Edwards sent his cherished Pinarello to a painter in Colorado (Colo Springs?) in the 90s.

The friend was allowed to go to the shop to see if he could find J.D.'s Pinarello. He found the Miyata with the letters that "looked like" the engraving from a Pinarello seatstay cap. >>
Wow! I had never heard that story!! What a hoot! Did anyone else on the list get snookered in this episode? I guess we can add that to the frame builders story of burn out and low pay.. that being the risk of a frame painter going Postal!!
