[CR]re: Victor Vincente of America

Please, you'll enjoy this, it proves to be utterly on-topic, check some photos out by going to the wa2020 website, "about", then "timeline", and click on assorted hyperlinks beginning with 1957.... Like, crazy, I can certainly dig the photos of young Michael / Victor's bildungsroman. Here's one: http://www.vva2020.com/pages/1959_02.html Check the contrasting front brake set-ups here: http://www.vva2020.com/p ages/1959_03.html OK, who knows something about "the Paragon bike" and Lars Zebroski? Also , check the jerseys: http://www.vva2020.com/pages/1965_03.html This is good stuff. Also, what a resume this man has with regard to our interests. Thanks for this thread, hope others will get something out of it, too. Tom Ward New York, NY -- USA (Californian)
