Chuck Schmidt noticed:

I always thought the guy on the left in this picture bore a striking resemblance to CR listmember, Mark Ritz: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1174/1385058800_9d83fad489_o.jpg

Yes, indeed, that is me. I was working for Jones Bicycles in Long Beach, CA at the time (1974, so your date of 1975 model year is correct, Bob). Many of the models were from the shop, as we were very close to Lawee's offices in Long Beach (the picture of the woman with the folding back at the back of the car is in front of Lawee's office, which, to further confuse things, had been the west coast offices of Raleigh...). Ben Lawee had sold Jones Bicycles to the current owner, Bob Olsen.

Cheers,
