Hi Kerry, The slides of your trip sound very cool.

Is there any way you can scan some or all of them with Mike Neel pictured? I collect Torpado related images and data, and Mike raced for the Magniflex-Torpado team in late 1976 and through 1977 (Cicli -Torpado, Telai - Alan). They were at the '77 Vuelta, so I presume the Alan he rode was labeled as Torpado? Regardless, I'd really love to see the images. Or if you don't have access to a scanner, I have one here, and can safely duplicate all of your slides, and return them with a nice CD photo album, quickly. I really need grass roots stuff like this, please, please, please!!! :)

Thanks so much for mentioning it, and for any help you can give...

Does anyone know if the Zeus (2001) brake lever body is a close enough copy to Campy NR to use the same hoods? Would standard DiaComp hoods fit well?

Also, as a side note, I was looking today through some slides I took during my stay in Spain from 1977. I came across some shots of Luis Ocana, Freddy Maertens, and American racer Mike Neel (w/his Fabo Alan team bike) when the Vuelta de Espana came to Valencia.

Thanks.
