Hi Joel,Curtis & the rest of the Gang up in the City of Brotherly Love, Joel thanks for the cyber link to your shop up in Philadelphia,PA. My first visit in cyber space,to "BIKEVILLE" and I've been hoping to get up to the "bricks and mortar", four story bicycle shop/warehouse,VIA BICYCLES one of these days. Your website is a wealth of information for all bicycle collectors! I've got it bookmarked: WWW.BIKEVILLE.COM
I really liked the Fred Delong bicycle,you guys brought down to Cirque 2006.....Don't touch a thing on the bicycle,if it is not going to be ridden! The Johnson Brothers up in Massachusetts used to have a bicycle museum in a barn and one of the brothers told me they "like" to present the bicycles just as they got them....Totally authentic down to the old bar wrap and grease. I thought the old Paramount by Mr. Delong was way ahead of its time. The photo of the AWB Favorit saddle,on your website is just like mine with the exception that my saddle is minus the orange nose piece. There is only a speck of the orange "metal" remaining on mine,although the leather looks great! Thanks for the photographic reference, a picture is worth a thousand words! Great seeing "youse guys" in Greensboro,NC. and looking forward to seeing you at Trexlertown in October! Later, Marty Walsh in Vienna,Va
