yes Dale, Ralph was a fascinating guy, Rita and i spent a good half hour with him at the air conditioned building housing the rest rooms in the fairgrounds hearing a fascinating story of a bike he had acquired residing in the smithsonian currently. People like him should be required to post an historical blog...excellent content, brilliant delivery...
Does anyone know who brought the exquisite Claud Butler Mixte frame sitting in the lobby with the Colnago and Cinelli below? Really wish i could have tried one of those 3 Renshos...
