Dear friends:
I thought I could get outa here to hang wit my boyz & girlz at the North American HandBuilt Bicycle Show but cruel fate has stuck it's pump in my spokes and I will be stuck here in Greensboro, trying to get cycles de ORO computerized. We are going from pencil and paper to a networked inventory control system and I am struggling to figure it all out! Ugh!
So, firstly, ya'll have a great time and SOMEONE take some damn good pics so I can see all the goodies that our wonderful craftsmen will be displaying.
Secondly, would one of you receive an Expressmail package of Cirque flyers and have them conspicuously placed so folks acan know about this event? The Cirque is a bonaf8ide sponsor so that should be kosher but I need a responsible person to receive and place.. Don Walker is driving out now and has many other things to do so I would like to not ask him but instead send these flyers to the first volunteer.....?
Lemme know if you can help..
THANKS!
Dale

I have also added photos of my soon to arrive in the US, Bianchi
Paris-Roubaix Bike. You can check the photos out here:

If anybody wants a complex shift, try shifting the front derailleur on this bike! It has a Campagnolo Sport front 'suicide' shifter that combines with the Paris-Roubaix rear derailleur. To shift from one to the other chainring, you must first loosen off the rear hub with the rear derailleur lever, then slowly pedal forwards and shift the front derailleur. You cannot however apply too much pressure, at the risk of pulling the wheel out of the rear drop-outs. Supposedly, the bike belonged to the former Bianchi pro: Crippa, however, I have my doubts about this claim.
