Listers,
Ok this is my last try. As a data point, I have switched from new and 'impr oved' Yahoo to Yahoo Classic. If this works, I'll know the reason for the p revious gobbledygook messages. If you've already seen this, consider this a technical test, if you haven't seen it, I'm shilling some bikes I'll be se lling at the T-town swap.
Here's the original message:
I will be at the Trexlertown Swap meet this October 11th with an extraordin ary collection of bikes and parts for sale. Hereâs a heads up as to what I have to offer, a nd this is by no means a comprehensive list.
I will, if there is interest, bring a beautiful Richard Sachs Aero bike to the Velodrome for sale. It is Richard Sach's only Aero bike and is an aero tubed paragon of efficiency. P erhaps this is the greatest aero bike ever made? It's certainly the only one of its kind in the world... con sequently it is available for $5000.
A beautiful Pogliaghi, 55cm, serial number is 11022 and is listed on the CR Pog timeline. It was repainted by JP Weigle and sports VIP wrapped bars and newer Athena components. Beautifu l bike. Available for $2000
A 54.5cm Hami â short for Hans Mittendorf â made with Vitus Superlight tubing, Nuovo Record and Ideale saddle. Available for $850
A 1971 Paramount Track bike with original orange paint. Stunning example of the breed, 51cm c to top and 53cm top tube. Record Track, Fiame front rim and Schwinn approved rear. Serial n umber is L7301. Available for $3500
A Hans Lutz Aero bike, 56cm center to top, 57cm top tube. Beautifully made aero frame with hidden cabling, Dura Ace AX kit and a Kashimax saddle. Examples of purpose built industrial beauty abound on this modestly painted bike. Available for $800
A Montelatici in a 53cm. Whatâs there to say about this that hasn ât been said on this list already? This one is painted by Ed Litton and built up with Nuovo Record complete wi th High Flange hubs. I donât think you would ever find a more quintessentially Italian bike with a paint job this good. Available for $2500
A classic Cinelli SC with oiler port, 54cm center to top. This one was repa inted in England in a classic orange. The bike sports Nuovo Record, Universal brakes with brass bolts and bar end shifters. Available for $3000
A Miyata Team frame and fork without decals, 54cm center to center. Serial number is J830644. In good rider shape. Available for $275
Australian Speedwell Path Racer, pinstriped in the classic fashion, perhaps by a real grizzled alcoholic in the ultimate period correct touch. Beautiful paintjob. Parts are a mish mash of period and not period correct. Still, a wonderful âcountry gentlemanâs bikeâ if such a thing exists. Available for $1200
A CDI in 53.5 cm center to center. CDI was a Texas based distributor that s old re-branded European bikes. This is the quintessential one, a rebadged Liotto that is the epitome of It alian panache with serious racer intentions. Beautiful workmanship on this little oddity, original paint and Nuovo Record groupo with a Unicanitor saddle. Truly a classic race bike from the seventies. Available for $900
A 52cm Gitane Interclub frame, nickel plated with honeycombed dropouts and Huret fork ends. The serial number is 4254344 and there is a â73â engraved o n the non drive side of the head tube and â60â on the bottom. Really pretty and looks like itâs never been built up. No decals. Available for $400.
Photos of all the bikes are can be seen at: http://tinyurl.com/

Obviously, bikes marked âSOLDâ on the page are not availabl e for purchase.
I will be at T-town from opening at space 123 and 124 along the riderâ s off ramp on the lawn, to your left as you come in. I will entertain offers prior to the show if youâre interested in the bikes, but rest assured there is far less price flexibility now as there will be then.
This is just a taste! I will have plenty of on topic and off topic parts in cluding rims, derailleurs, seats etc. I may have other bikes too!
If youâre at T town feel free to stop by and bring a beer if you do !
