Although I'll be unable to make the ride - if anyone sees a black 58 cm with yellow accents, wrap around early 80's decals (on what would be a 70's era frameset), mostly pantoed SR, 10 speed, crude drillium shifters, a BB crack repaired by Medici (and Medici added shifter bosses to add to the out of date character of the original frame), and the OMAS lightweight kit installed - please take note, as this bike was stolen from me a few years back. I'd recognize it in a heartbeat (alas - I have no pix currently) and be willing to deal with the unwitting owner of the bike for it's return. It fit like a glove and have always had the irrational fantasy that someday my fave bike will come back to me...

P.S. - In the worlds of vintage bikes that fit well - The adage of "if you love it - set it free" is utter BS!
