Here is the old listing I had for Peter Dreesens. If someone has the new address, pls send to me so I can update. I thought I had purchased a purple road bike from him about two years ago, but the seller inexpicably pulled the plug on the deal at the last moment. Perhaps a listmember got it.

Hey Ben, I figure that if any one knows about Pete, it is Marty

Pete Dreesen
He is now working at the CycleDrome bicycle shop in T-Town. He has also been showing up for a few of the group rides lately, which is good considering he was extinct for about 6 yrs. He was also my Bicycle Racing League Developmental coach when I first started cycling.

Marty,
Could you help Ben out with this question?
Thanks

Hey Swingers,
Peter Bundy, son of a local retired framebuilder Jim, spent a season or two a Lehigh Valley Velodrome, PA coaching or something or other a few years back (perhaps early 90's). In a recent conversation he told me about a colourful and quirky character by the name of Pete Dreissen (or Dreesen) and asked me if I could find out where he is, what's he doing and if anybody has contact info. Or stories or anything.
Anyone?
Thanks
ciao,
