In Dr. Wilson's posting of communications with Matteo on this decal auction, I read no "bad" attitude from Matteo. Dr. Wilson is wrong about the matter and Matteo deserves an apology from him. Poeple like Matteo provide needed/wanted bicycles and parts that we in the vintage community hold dear. Cheers, Derek Willburn Long Beach, CA USA
