dzie\u0144 dobry!

I travelled through Poland a number of years ago. Some of the main centres included Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Lodz. My Father immigrated to North America from Poland some 60 years ago when he was 21, and has been back to visit. My mother is Polish-Canadian, born in Quebec. My interest goes without saying. If you could kindly include me on the list also as we plan to return to Poland again. Best Regards, Matt Klucha.

Hi Matthew, Tony & Neil

Bartek Prochal lives in or near Warsaw, has great English skills and seems to be plugged in to vintage bikes (I just bought a beautiful vintage Italian frame from him). I'm copying him on this email so perhaps you guys can make direct contact.

Bartek - I hope you don't mind that I threw you to these wolves! We're all members of the Classic Rendezvous vintage bicycle discussion list and somehow the subject of vintage bikes in Poland is the hot topic right now.

I'm also heading to Poland (next week), but to Krakow and area. I would like to piggy-back on Matthew's request for info on suggested cycling related sight-seeing and shopping destinations.

Many thanks to any who supply suggestions,
