Hi CR folks,
Dumb luck - I counted out the number of shippable QR posters I have - and the number exactly matched the number of requests! Way too close for comfort. Anyway, they are now sold out. Thanks for the interest!

\r?\n> reprinted poster I had done years ago when I owned Bicycle Classics inc.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Anyway, I don't have framed ones, but I have a few unframed that I can sell.
\r?\n> The poster was a blow-up of a page from the Tabbuci Specialties 1938 Catalog.
\r?\n> It is the earliest known ad for Campy stuff that I am aware of.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> The posters (really a print on heavy paper) have been moved around a bit, so
\r?\n> there may be minor imperfections, but anything I send out will be quite nice and
\r?\n> what people would consider suitable for framing.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Shipping for as many as you want in a priority box (the roll up nice into a
\r?\n> priority box) is $4.05.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> The posters themselves I'll sell for $ 9 each.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> If interested, email me your name and address and I'll get it(them) out. My
\r?\n> address for payment is:
